Excavation & Demolition FAQs

We run our own fleet of excavators, backhoes, track loaders, loaders, bulldozers, graders, rollers and dump and haul trucks. Owning the equipment lets us match the right machine to each site, from tight backyards to open lots, and keep your schedule on track without waiting on rentals.

Yes, on every job. Florida law requires a Sunshine 811 utility locate before excavation, and we request it before our crew arrives. Marked lines for power, gas, water, sewer and communications let us dig safely. We also ask you about private lines such as irrigation, septic and outdoor lighting.

Tampa Bay is flat, sandy and gets heavy summer storms, so water has nowhere to go unless the ground is shaped correctly. Proper grading slopes soil away from foundations, pools and driveways, prevents standing water and erosion, and gives sod, pavers or concrete a stable, well-drained base.

We demolish houses, garages, sheds, additions, carports, pool enclosures and light commercial structures, along with slabs, footers and foundations. Every demolition includes loading and hauling the debris and leaving the lot clean and rough graded, so it is ready for rebuilding, landscaping or sale.

See our demolition service.

Most structure demolitions in Florida require a permit from the city or county building department, and some also need utility disconnects and an asbestos survey first. Requirements differ between Tampa, Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco. We explain what your project needs during the free estimate and help you plan the steps.

Cost depends on the size and thickness of the structure or slab, whether it contains rebar, site access, haul distance, disposal fees and permit requirements. Because these vary so much from job to job, we visit the site and give you a free written estimate rather than quoting a flat price over the phone.

Read about concrete removal.

Yes. We break out the pool shell and deck, haul the concrete away, backfill the hole with clean fill placed and compacted in layers, and grade the area so it drains and is ready for sod. Proper compaction matters, because poorly filled pools can settle and create soft spots later.

See pool demolition.

Yes. We dig new in-ground pools to the layout, shape and depth provided by your pool builder, working carefully around the home, fences and utilities. Spoil can be hauled off site or spread on your property. Our crews account for Tampa Bay's high water table when planning depth and timing.

See pool excavation.

Our dump and haul trucks move fill dirt, sand, rock, crushed concrete, topsoil and excavation spoil, plus concrete, construction and demolition debris. We can bring material to your site when the crew needs it, or remove excess and waste material on a set schedule to keep the job running smoothly.

See hauling services.

Yes. We load and haul construction debris, demolition waste, land-clearing material and storm debris after heavy weather. Clearing debris quickly keeps a site safe and ready for the next trade, and after hurricane season storms it helps property owners get back to normal faster.

See debris removal.

Yes. Every estimate and on-site consultation is free. We visit your property, look at access, soil and drainage, talk through what you want done and then give you a clear written estimate. There is no obligation, and you will know the full scope and price before any work begins.

We accept Zelle, cash and check. Veteran discounts are available as a thank-you for your service, so please mention it when you call or request an estimate. Payment terms for larger projects are explained in your written estimate before work starts, so there are no surprises.
