How the Guys handle it.
No surprises is the whole point. Here is the order things happen in, what we need from you at each stage, and where the schedule usually moves.
How the Guys handle it.
- 1
Site Walk
We visit the property and look at access, utilities, slope and what is actually in the ground.
- 2
Clear Plan
We recommend partial or full removal for your plans, and put the scope, sequence and timing in writing.
- 3
Permits & Prep
We prepare and coordinate the permit paperwork with your local building department and stage the site.
- 4
Removal
We demolish the shell to the approved scope and haul the debris off the property.
- 5
Backfill & Grade
We place approved fill, compact it in lifts, and finish to a graded surface ready for what comes next.
What to expect on your end.
Before the site walk
Nothing to prepare. If you have a plot plan, an old permit or any idea where utilities run, it helps — but not having them is normal and we work without them.
Access is the big variable
We measure the narrowest point equipment has to pass through. Gates, side yards, overhead lines and neighbouring fences all shape which machine can come in, and that shapes the plan.
Utility locating
Underground service alert marking happens before anything gets dug. This is a required step, not an optional one, and it takes the time it takes.
During demolition
Expect noise, truck traffic and dust control. We keep debris contained and the working area closed off.
Settlement, honestly
Any backfill can settle somewhat as it takes on water over the first seasons. Proper compaction in lifts is how that risk is managed. Anyone promising zero settlement is guessing.
After final grade
You get a graded surface, not a landscaped yard. Turf, planting, hardscape or a build is the next trade, and we will tell you what the ground is ready for.
