Saying honestly what we know about Jacksonville
Jacksonville is a small rural place name in Oldham County rather than an incorporated town with a main street, and it would be wrong to write it up as anything more. The Jacksonville name attaches to a road and a stretch of country between the Crestwood and Goshen sides of the county, and anyone giving us a Jacksonville address is really giving us a crossroads and a lane. We would rather ask a Jacksonville customer for the nearest junction and a gate description than pretend we know a street grid that does not exist.
Because Jacksonville sits at the western edge of what we cover, an order there is planned ahead rather than promised for the next morning. Once a Jacksonville rental is on the books it holds a fixed service day like anything else.
What the work around Jacksonville actually is
Out around Jacksonville the jobs are acreage builds, barn and shed projects, home renovations and the occasional gathering on private ground. A Jacksonville order is almost always a single standard unit at the top of a stone lane or at the head of a driveway.
We stay off the soft field edges around Jacksonville, because a loaded truck that ruts a headland leaves a mess the owner works around all season. Oldham County limestone sits shallow under Jacksonville, so a stone lane there usually carries a truck well.
Weather, access and scheduling around Jacksonville
Ice storms come through this part of Oldham County hard enough that Jacksonville cleanup work is a real seasonal line of business. A Jacksonville tree crew takes the unit at the head of the lane where the chipper and grapple truck keep room to work.
Summer downbursts drop limbs across the Jacksonville lanes with little warning, and those calls run for a week or two. Nothing runs Sunday, so a Saturday push around Jacksonville gets its pickup on the Monday leg.
