Our Swift Response To Fallen Trees on Dixie Parkway, Winter Park
On Tuesday, June 10th, our team was called to handle an urgent situation on Dixie Parkway in Winter Park. The customer, Bluesky Restoration, needed us to remove a fallen Laurel oak that had broken during a severe thunderstorm. The tree had caused significant damage, crashing through a pool enclosure and landing in the pool.
We arrived at the site promptly at 2 PM to assess the situation and begin the removal process. The storm had left the area in a state of disarray, with the massive tree obstructing the pool area and posing a potential hazard. Our primary task was to safely and efficiently remove the tree without causing further damage to the property.
One of the unique challenges of this job was the need to get into the pool to rig the logs for removal. This required one of our team members to don a swimsuit and enter the water. This was essential for securely attaching the rigging equipment to the logs, allowing us to pull them out effectively. Additionally, due to the location and the extent of the damage, all debris had to be manually hauled to the street using a log dolly.
Despite these challenges, our team worked diligently to ensure a smooth and efficient operation. The combination of teamwork and strategic planning allowed us to overcome the difficulties presented by the fallen tree and the pool environment. By 4:30 PM, after two and a half hours of focused effort, we had successfully removed the Laurel oak from the pool and hauled all the debris to the street.
The job was completed without any further complications, much to the relief of Bluesky Restoration. Our quick response and effective handling of the situation restored safety and order to the property, demonstrating our capability to manage even the most challenging of tasks.
