    Fallen Trunk in Pool

    In this case, I side with the realtor. The place was neglected, super overrun with weeds, decades-old citrus trees were dying from lack of water for so long, awnings were falling apart, concrete pavers and edgers were all cracked, etc. Whoever buys this place has a huge project ahead of them...

    Fallen Trunk in Pool

    It was $600 for what we did. Another $200 for the trunk if done on the same day, and another $400 for the trunk of we come back later to get it. I priced it before I realized how light the stuff was. Palm is usually quite heavy and this is Washingtonia filifera which is one of the thicker...

    This was odd but... The house is vacant and on the market Our client was the realtor selling the house They decided they'd have an easier time selling it if we left the trunk standing. So don't ask me rhe logic, but there is still a 15' tall crumbly trunk standing there. love nick

    Fallen Trunk in Pool

    Fallen Trunk in Pool

    It went perfect. The trunk was light as foam. It's been dead a while. So the water-soaked parts were lighter than normal healthy palm "wood." I spiked up, set a block, and used the truck to lift it out. It still took a while but we got our money's worth out if it. I'll post a couple pics when...

    Fallen Trunk in Pool

    We get to clean this up tomorrow. I haven't seen the situation. Just one picture. I hope we can hang a block in the neighboring palm and use the truck to lift the piece out. I'll report back. I told them $500-$1000 depending. love nick
