Yard Waste & Brush Removal in Winter Haven, FL

Oak limbs and palm fronds in Winter Haven: loaded as they lie

Fifty lakes and the canals between them mean a lot of Winter Haven yards run down to water, with old canopy over them. Lakefront lots on Lake Howard and Lake Shipp have oaks that drop limbs after every storm and palms that let go of fronds in bunches. The 1920s bungalows near Central Avenue and the 1960s block ranches farther out are the same, with sixty years of hedge along the fence.

Rob's crew loads it the way it's sitting. Nobody cuts limbs to length or ties bundles. A trimming pile gets hand-loaded. A whole downed oak, or a fence line that has to come out with the vines on it, gets the Kubota track loader with the grapple. Stumps and root balls are in the flat number; grinding a stump in place is a different service.

Landscaping tear-outs at the lakefront rebuilds

Lakefront lots around the chain are being bought for the water and rebuilt from the slab up, and the old landscaping goes with the old house: hedges, foundation shrubs, the sod, the palms that block the view. That's a half or full trailer, $350 or $700, with the roots on. The dirt from grading or a new pool is a separate haul through Rob's dump-truck partners, because it doesn't ride in the trailer. He says which pile is which on the first visit.

The Haines City convenience center or the trailer?

Polk's Northeast Landfill convenience center in Haines City takes yard waste for a flat $10 per car or pickup, and it's a short drive from Winter Haven up US-17-92. For a pickup-bed load, that's the cheap route. Rob is the call when the pile is a trailer's worth, or when a small pile can ride along with a bigger job he's already got booked on the chain that day.
