Removing trees cause a huge mess

[drknapp]

After Hurricane Hillary came through we finally decided to remove the Italian Cypresses that we have around our pool. I've attached a before and after photo.

I just wanted to be sure I'm going to be on the right path before when I start cleaning the pool when they are done. The pool was balanced before they started. I plan on skimming as much as I can out with my pool rake (skimmer bag). I have to find the piece of coping they broke when they lost control of a section and dropped it. When I'm pretty sure I have most that I can get, I'm going to buy some additional liquid chlorine to add when I start up my pump. I'm planning on putting skimmer socks on the skimmer basket and pump basket before I start the pump up. I'm also going to purchase some additional DE as I'm sure I'll have to backwash the filter several times.

Does this sound like a good plan to start, or is there something else I should address?

Looks like seasonal Santa Ana wind cleanup. Your plan is good. Try to get as much stuff out as you can.

Before starting at the water I'd clean up the surrounding area completely with a backpack blower or the like to know you're done with new stuff flying in and then attack the water.

Don't go above slam level for your cya.

Love this forum! Slamming complete. Pool is looking great after three and a half days of work.
