Excavation and demolition

Clearing the old to make way for the new

A new building often starts with clearing the old one. When you need to demolish an old house to make way for a new build, we are there at every step, and our work does not stop at demolition.

With Country Estates Construction your excavation, demolition and trucking are handled professionally and efficiently, from the first swing of the excavator to the final grade of your site.

Step by step

From an old house to a new foundation

  1. Demolition

    We handle the complete demolition, taking the structure down safely and efficiently.

  2. Bins and clean-up

    We provide bins for the responsible disposal of the wreckage, so the site is cleared and clean.

  3. Excavation

    We dig for your new foundation with precision, so the groundwork is laid accurately.

  4. Trucking

    Our fleet of trucks hauls the dirt away, keeping your site neat and ready for the next phase.

  5. Backfill and grading

    After the foundation work we backfill, then grade the site for proper drainage and a level base for landscaping.

Reviews

What our customers say

Don't let Mike or Andrews age fool you, these guys appear to have been doing this since they got out of diapers! Extremely knowledgeable and patient, explaining every step along the way.

They were professional and polite the whole time they were on the property and made sure we were satisfied completely at the conclusion of the job. My wife was particularly impressed with how they cleaned up and made the jobsite safe at the end of each day. We will definitely have this team back for any future work.
