Creek Tree Removal

California has not maintained many of it’s water-ways. Improving the flow of the creek via tree removal is vital to prevent flooding. When debris collects from fallen trees, trash, and brush the water wont flow. Our crew was busy removing several fallen trees from a private property owner. The trees were blocking the flow of a small creek, causing a potential flood issue for the surrounding lands. This project quickly became an “emergency project” and our crew had to act quickly before the storm came in. Within a full days work from our crew, the trees were removed and the flow of the creek was greatly improved. Work prep for this project included building a ramp for the excavator to get access, the use of heavy chains, chainsaws, and a lot of know and careful work performed by our crew. By the end of the day, our 4-man crew were quite successful in completing the job!

Land Erosion is a huge problem for land-owner’s. It affects the quality of the soil and in turn, it affects the use of the land. For any land owner, when the land is washed away, the rebuilding process must begin. But first the cause of the erosion has been fixed. In the case of this project, the creek busted through the levee during the heavy rains of 2023. What took place was an astonishing wash-out of the farm land. The damage was immense, coupled with a deep burrowing gap of a 20′ wash-out. The project would involve replacing “clean” dirt (tested and approved by county), and leveling.

Our crew worked diligent and professionally to get this project completed. Our team analyzed and executed a multi-phased project . In preparation of this Land Erosion project we had to first create a gravel road which was to get the big dirt trucks from the frontage road to the washed out portion of the property. Next, it was time for the restoration to begin. This project saw hundreds of truck loads of dirt being placed around the affected areas. Successfully, we were able to get the washed-out areas filled and stabilized with dirt, thus preparing the site for the next phase which will be the levee rebuild. Realizing our work needs to last, the skill set on the job was well seen and felt on the finished result. The final job was quite pleasing to both the property owners and county inspectors.

This Creek Debris Removal project was another project with an “emergency” situation tagged to it. As we were racing against the encroaching winter which was promising to be a wet one! The county had decided that it was essential to remove the debris from the creek in order for the creek channel to flow and to avoid another disastrous flood as the previous year had delivered. Decades of neglect had our crew pulling out enormous levels of debris. Our crew had to determine where to off-load this pile, being sure the pile would be safe during heavy winter rains, and would be out of the way yet convenient enough to go from creek to “pile”. After determining the location of the debris, the equipment arrived and work began. Our crew worked clean and diligent, and provided a very pleasing end result. Both county inspectors and property owner’s were extremely impressed with the end result. Our crew knows that hard work pays off. This job would ensure a strong flow down the Pacheco Creek, preventing a hazardous situation for flooding may surrounding farm lands.
