Yard Waste & Brush Removal in Winter Garden, FL

Oak limbs over the bungalows in the Plant Street historic district

Downtown Winter Garden dates to 1903, and the oaks are older than the overlay that protects the Craftsman bungalows under them. A lot that's been one family's since the citrus days has a detached garage, a shed under the canopy and a limb on the roof of one of them after every summer storm. The lots are narrow and the drives are tight, which is exactly where a dump trailer behind a pickup earns its keep.

The crew hand-carries from the back of the lot if the trailer can't reach, and loads the limbs whole. Forked crotches, palm boots, the rounds somebody cut and gave up on, root balls with the dirt still clinging. Nobody bundles. Stumps are in the price; grinding one is a different service.

Tree branch and brush pickup on the bigger lots toward Lake Apopka

West of downtown the lots get bigger and the fence lines get longer. Brush that's grown up along a fence, a row of trees taken down for a new building pad, an old citrus windbreak coming out: that's Kubota work. Rob brings the track loader with the grapple and moves a fence line in a few passes instead of a day of hand loading. Grapple time is quoted with the job. Dirt from the grading stays; it doesn't ride in the trailer.

Saturday at the Orange County transfer station, or a weekday with Rob

Orange County's Porter and McLeod Road transfer stations take yard waste, Saturdays only, and that works for a pickup-bed load if you have the truck. Rob's number covers a trailer's worth on a weekday, loaded by his crew, with the landfill's yard-trash tonnage inside. On the Hamlin side, where HOAs watch the curb, the pile stays in the backyard until the crew loads it into the trailer in the driveway.
