Canyon Clean Out Ancillary

In 2014, The Reynolds Group was hired to clear out decades old debris from a canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains for an expansive private residence.  TRG initially employed to decommission the resident’s private fueling facility by removing an underground storage tank and restoring the cobblestone driveway. TRG performed the work to the client’s satisfaction.

To prepare the property for sale, the bank/trustee asked TRG to price and perform "clean out" of a canyon that had been used for decades as a debris "dump." The bank/trustee needed the work done to eliminate liabilities and doubts from the pending real estate transaction. The extent of debris was unknown until TRG was able to dig into the challenge.  

The video below looks down on the 200 ft. canyon from the top of the debris pile.  Even more debris is visible at the bottom of the canyon.

The Reynolds Group's safe, courteous, responsive, and open-book operations team, led by Dwayne Ziegler and Mike Jones, employed an innovative combination of long reach heavy equipment, loaders, trucks, and labor to clear the canyon of debris. TRG safely accessed the tight site confines and successfully performed the work. Debris was segregated and aggregated in a staging area to economize green waste for recycling on-site and construction debris for off-site disposal.

After

This job became one of TRG's favorite because it let them work in an idyllic setting near the Pacific Ocean and helped restore a property so that both the Client and the environment benefited. Decades of debris were safely removed to expedite a time-sensitive real estate transaction thanks to TRG's service.
