Commercial Concrete Repair

Tree Removal becomes Concrete Repair

Our latest commercial landscape job turned out to be more than just a tree removal. Luckily, TRU Landscape Services is also a premiere Orange County concrete repair and construction company. We were able to complete the job in a day, and our customer didn’t have to call in separate independent contractors.

The story begins when TRU Landscape was called out to Anaheim California for a estimate to remove a tree.  During the estimate, our salesman realized that the tree removal was actually a curb removal and replacement too.

Commercial Tree Removal

The project came about because someone planted a Eucalyptus tree in a small planter.  The tree soon grew too big for the planter, raised up the curb and gutter, and damaged the parking lot.  This raised up curb created a tripping hazard.

Orange County Concrete

Our tree crew removed the eucalyptus tree and our concrete team began removing the curb and gutter. First, the landscape concrete crew saw-cut the surrounding concrete from the parking lot. This provides separation between the concrete and the asphalt so that when our bobcat removes the concrete we don’t damage the parking lot.

Commercial Concrete RepairsAfter removing the concrete curb, we brought in our stump grinder and we removed the stump. All of the materials that we remove are recycled in Orange County, including concrete.

Once all of the debris were removed, our crew started setting up the forms to hold the concrete in place for the curb and gutter. When the crew began installing the forms, the foreman called up the concrete truck to bring in the concrete. Efficiency is very important to us, so we always have one portion of construction ready right after the other. After installing the concrete and letting it set up, we pulled the forms off of the finished concrete. This is the important part of the job to make sure the whole project turns out looking smooth and professional. The icing on the cake.

Finishing Commercial Concrete Curb

This entire job was finished in a day!  Had we just been a tree removal company, our customer would have had to hire out separate concrete contractors for the rest of the job.  Instead, we were able to solve their problem in a timely manner.

TRU Landscape Services takes pride in providing all of your outdoor elements. Why hire several companies and have the hassle of scheduling all of the contractors around each other. We provided this customer several different services in just one day. A project like this would normally take up to 2 weeks to complete. After completing the project, our customer called us up and told us how happy they were because the parking lot was only closed for a short period.

Fixing a Drain Disaster!

Orange County Landscape

TRU Landscape Services just completed a project in Rancho Santa Margarita. This project consists of removing two large Queen Palms and repairing 2 drain lines. The Palm trees were growing right on top of the drain pipes on both sides of the house. TRU LandscapeThe previous contractor used cheap pipes that let all of the water drain out at the joints. When the joints start leaking water into the soil the tree roots began growing inside of the drain pipe. Our customer had the grass remove from her back yard by another contractor. This same contractor installed new concrete in the back yard and the concrete looked very nice. The only problem was he used the old drains that were already clogged with trees roots. Then he installed a new drain pipe under the ground and stopped it right by the palm trees, so the drains worked for a couple of years and then the roots clogged the new pipe.  It’s a drain disaster!  What to do? Time for some Tree Removal!

Tree Roots

Landscape drains

After removing the 2 Palm trees we started on the drain lines. Now normally we would just give a estimate to install all new drain lines, but in this case our customer had told us the story about the other contractor that installed the new landscape drains and so we thought we could make the repairs to the drain pipes without tearing up the whole back yard. We were right on one side of the house; we removed a small portion of concrete that allowed us to remove a large root system. Once that large root system was removed the water started flowing to the street. Our crew patched the concrete and we moved onto the other side. We knew this side was going to cause us problems so we cut holes in the back yard concrete and after a long struggle we were able to clear all of the drains. We installed a new outdoor drain pipe and patched the concrete. The new landscape drain pipe has glued together joints. The joints being glued together will help keep the water from escaping the pipe. Which will help keep the roots out of the pipe. TRU Landscape Services has been installing landscape drains for over 25 years in Orange County.
