Small-Scale Demolition

Safe, Efficient, and Clean Site Clearing

Whether you're clearing space for a garden suite, removing an old hazard, or prepping for a new landscape design, our demolition services take the heavy lifting off your hands. We specialize in "surgical demolition"—removing exactly what you don't want while carefully protecting the structures and trees you want to keep.

Our Demolition Services include:

  • Sheds & Outbuildings: Fast removal of old garden sheds, workshops, and greenhouses.

  • Detached Garages: Complete teardown and slab removal for older Victoria garages.

  • Concrete & Asphalt Removal: Breaking up and hauling away old patios, walkways, and driveways using hydraulic breakers.

  • Deck & Fence Tear-outs: Efficient removal of weathered wood structures and post-footings.

  • Retaining Wall Demolition: Tearing out failing timber, brick, or concrete block walls.

  • Pre-Construction Clearing: Removing old foundations or debris to prep for a new build.

The Process: What to Expect

  • Site Assessment: We evaluate the structure's stability and access points.

  • Utility Disconnects: We verify that all power and water lines to the structure are safely capped.

  • Controlled Takedown: We use our machines to "pull" the structure inward, containing the debris and protecting neighboring properties.

  • Haul-Away: We manage the bins and trucking, leaving you with a level, "ready-to-build" site.

The "Victoria Standard" for Disposal

We don't just "knock it down." We ensure the site is left clean and that all materials are handled responsibly according to CRD (Capital Regional District) guidelines.

  1. Sorting & Recycling: Whenever possible, we sort materials on-site. Concrete, metal, and clean wood are diverted to local recycling facilities like Central Saanich Fill & Reclamation or Ellice Recycling, reducing landfill waste and saving you money on disposal fees.

  2. Hazardous Materials: For older structures in Victoria (pre-1990), we can guide you through the process of asbestos and lead testing required before demolition begins.

  3. Utility Safety: We coordinate with BC 1 Call to ensure no gas, water, or electrical lines are compromised during the teardown.
