The job
What was there
An old backyard deck in San Marcos, gray and weathered, with patio furniture still on it. Behind it sat the pile every backyard collects over the years: a dog house, a metal feed trough, lawn chairs and a panel leaning against the fence.
The homeowner wanted the deck gone and the yard clear. That is one job, not two, so it went out on the same trailer.

How it went
Four steps, one trailer
-
01
Cleared the deck first
The patio furniture was still sitting on the boards when we pulled up. Everything on top came off before a single fastener moved, so nothing got dropped through a gap or buried under debris.
-
02
Boards off, framing exposed
Decking came up board by board with a pry bar rather than getting smashed. Slower on the front end, but the lumber stacks instead of splintering, and stacked lumber loads tighter on the trailer.

03
The junk pile behind it went too
Same backyard, same trip: a dog house, a metal feed trough, lawn chairs and a leaning panel. Deck jobs almost always come with a pile like this, and it goes on the same load.
-
04
Hauled and disposed
Old decking, framing lumber and the yard junk went out on the trailer. Metal gets separated where it is worth separating. What is left goes to the landfill.
