Aptos · Santa Cruz County
Big wooded lots, long driveways and redwoods that drop something every winter. Aptos generates more green waste than anywhere else we serve.

Aptos, CA
Aptos properties tend to be generous — larger parcels, longer driveways and a great deal more tree cover than the towns nearer the water. That's the appeal, and it's also why the phone rings here after every serious winter. Limbs come down, decks rot, and the woodpile behind the garage stops being a woodpile and becomes a problem.
The built environment leans that way too. Wood decking, outbuildings, sheds and hot tubs are far more common on Aptos lots than on a smaller in-town lot, and all of them eventually need taking apart and taking away.

Our Services
Every price is published in full. Pick the one that matches how much lifting you want to do yourself.
$175+ by load size
Our crew carries it out from anywhere on the property and hauls it away.
$200 flat, 25 minutes
You stage it at the curb, we load and go. The simplest option we run.
$295 48-hour rental
A 10-yard trailer in your driveway to fill at your own pace.
Aptos, CA
Long driveways and outbuildings included. If the truck can't reach the shed, the crew walks the distance — it's factored into the price.
Dismantled on site and taken out in sections. It's the job most people give up on themselves, and it's routine work for a crew with the right tools.
Emptied and, if you want, taken down. Aptos outbuildings hold a remarkable amount once somebody actually opens the door.
Rotten boards, joists and railings taken apart and hauled the same visit. It is heavy, dirty work and it is exactly what the crew is equipped for.
Aptos, CA
Ten yards for 48 hours at $295 — genuinely useful on a property where a project runs across a whole weekend.
Aptos driveways generally have space to spare, so the trailer sits somewhere convenient rather than somewhere it just about fits.
Branch, brush and cleanup debris fill a trailer faster than people expect. One ton is included; beyond that it's $0.20 per pound.
Branch and brush fills a trailer faster than people expect. One ton is included; beyond that it is $0.20 per pound and we will say so first.

Aptos, CA
Flat $200 for twenty-five minutes. It works here when you've already dragged everything down to the top of the drive.
On a long Aptos driveway, get it to the road and the job becomes the cheap one. We'll load from wherever you've stacked it.
Handy if the property is a second home or a rental. Leave it accessible and the pickup happens without you.
Aptos driveways can run a long way. Get it to the road end and the job becomes the $200 one rather than the volume-priced one.
Aptos, CA
Storm debris, rotten lumber and the accumulated contents of a large property — the loads a household trash can was never going to help with.
Fallen limbs, damaged fencing and whatever the weather rearranged, taken as one load rather than six trips to a transfer station.
House, garage, shed and yard in one coordinated visit, priced by volume with the number agreed before we start.
Sheds, workshops and lean-tos cleared out and, if you want, dismantled. Most hold considerably more than their owners remember.
Aptos, CA
Living next to a state park sharpens the argument for sorting a load rather than burying it.
The bulk of what leaves an Aptos property is organic. It goes where organic material should go, not into a mixed load headed for landfill.
Old fencing, decking fixings, shed frames and appliance carcasses split out by material before anything is dumped.

Why Us
Aptos jobs are outdoor jobs more often than not. Long carries, soft ground and heavy organic material are the normal conditions here.
Aptos, Santa Cruz County
If the truck cannot reach the shed, the crew walks it. We look at the route first so the quote holds rather than moves.
Dismantled in place and carried out in sections. It is the job most people abandon halfway and it is a standard booking for us.
The bulk of what leaves an Aptos property is organic and it goes where organic material should go.
Winter cleanup is predictable work here. We plan capacity for it rather than being surprised every January.

Your peace of mind stays.
How It Works
Three moves from the first call to an empty driveway, and the heavy one is never yours.
01
Call or book online with your Aptos address. A photo of the pile is usually enough for us to size it before we set out.
02
One flat number covering crew, hauling and disposal, agreed before a single item is lifted. Nothing moves until you say so.
03
Usually the same visit. The crew carries it out, sweeps up behind itself and sorts the load for recycling and donation afterward.
How To
None of it is required. All of it makes the job faster, and on a volume-priced service faster usually means cheaper.
And whether there is a turning point. It decides which vehicle comes and how the carry gets priced.
After rain, wooded lots do not take a loaded trailer. We will place it on firm ground and carry the rest rather than leave ruts.
Even roughly. A single heap loads far faster than the same volume scattered across half an acre.
Residential & commercial
Same crew, same published prices, whether it's a garage or a shop floor.
Wooded properties around Nisene Marks, family homes in Rio del Mar and Seascape, and the beach-adjacent houses at Seacliff. Decks, sheds, hot tubs and green waste dominate the work far more than household furniture does.
Landscaping firms clearing brush, small contractors working on decks and additions, and managers looking after second homes and vacation properties. Volume is the constraint, and the trailer is usually the answer.

Safety
Chainsaw debris, rotten lumber, exposed fixings and uneven wooded ground. Aptos work is the closest thing we do to site work, and it is treated that way.
Gloves, boots and eye protection on every cleanup job. Rotten decking is full of old nails and nobody wants to find one the hard way.
Boards stacked and loaded so nothing shifts, fixings contained rather than left scattered across the ground you are trying to clear.
Paint, solvents, oil, batteries, tires and asbestos stay behind. Old outbuildings often hold some of these and we will flag them.
