Our 4-Step Approach Demolition Process
Every project follows a safe, organized plan — from initial site inspection to final grading and cleanup — so your property is ready for what’s next.
Site Evaluation & Estimate
Every job begins with an on-site walkthrough where John personally evaluates the structure, access points, safety concerns, and haul-off logistics. We’ll discuss your project goals, any nearby utilities, and the final finish you’re expecting. From there, you’ll receive a clear written estimate with no surprises — just honest pricing and a realistic timeline.
Safe, Controlled Teardown
Once approved, our team mobilizes the right equipment for the job — whether that’s our excavator for heavy demolition or our skid steer for tight-access work. Structures are taken down systematically, keeping debris contained and nearby structures protected. Safety and control are our top priorities, especially when working near homes, driveways, or septic systems
Debris Removal & Haul-Off
All concrete, wood, and metal materials are separated and hauled away to approved disposal or recycling sites. We don’t leave piles or messes behind — every load is removed properly, ensuring your property is cleared down to clean soil. For concrete pads or driveways, we also handle full breakout and removal.
Final Grading & Site Cleanup
After the structure is gone, we backfill holes, level uneven areas, and perform finish grading so your property is ready for its next phase — whether that’s rebuilding, seeding, or selling. Before we leave, John does a walk-through with you to make sure the site meets your expectations and our Satisfaction Guarantee standards.
Answers Straight from JG
Real questions, real answers — straight from John Glover, owner of JG Grading & Landscaping. Here’s everything you need to know before starting your demolition project.
- How much does demolition cost?
Demolition pricing depends on several factors — structure size, materials, access, debris type, and site conditions. Smaller jobs like sheds or garages may only take a day, while larger structures require more time, equipment, and haul-off. I believe in keeping everything transparent — I’ll walk your property, explain exactly what’s included, and provide a detailed written estimate before any work starts so there are no surprises.
- Do you provide free estimates?
Yes, absolutely. Every job starts with an on-site visit so I can see the structure, the access points, and what will be involved in removal and cleanup. From there, I’ll send you a written estimate that breaks everything down clearly — demolition, haul-off, and grading if needed. No hidden fees, just an honest price based on what it’ll take to get your job done right.
- What types of demolition do you handle?
We handle a wide range of residential and small commercial demolition projects — homes, barns, garages, sheds, mobile homes, concrete pads, and metal buildings. Whether you need a single structure removed or a full site cleared and graded for rebuilding, we have the equipment, experience, and insurance to take care of it safely from start to finish.
- How do you ensure safety during demolition?
Safety always comes first. Every project starts with a site inspection to locate any utilities, evaluate access, and determine the best teardown approach. We use well-maintained equipment and follow proper safety procedures on every job to protect nearby structures, property, and everyone involved. I don’t rush demo work — I take it down methodically and with respect for your property.
- Do you handle debris removal?
Yes — every demolition project includes complete debris removal. We load out all concrete, lumber, and waste material, then haul it off to proper disposal or recycling facilities. You’ll never be left with piles to deal with after we’re done. My goal is to leave the site as clean and level as possible, ready for whatever you have planned next.
- How long does demolition take?
That depends on the structure and site conditions. Most small jobs — like sheds or single garages — can be completed in a day or two. Larger homes, barns, or concrete removals may take several days. I’ll give you an honest timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so you always know what’s happening and when we’ll finish.
- Do I need permits for demolition?
In many cases, yes — especially for larger buildings, homes, or anything tied to utilities. I’ll walk you through what’s required in your county and can help point you in the right direction for any necessary paperwork. For smaller structures or rural properties, permits are sometimes not required, but I’ll always make sure you know either way before we begin.
- Can demolition damage surrounding property?
Not when it’s done right — and that’s what we specialize in. Every job is carefully planned before equipment ever touches the ground. I use the right machine for the job and work with control to avoid disturbing nearby driveways, lawns, or other structures. We also keep debris contained and cleanup thorough, so the only thing left behind is a clean, level site.
- Can you combine demolition with other services?
Yes, and that’s actually one of our biggest advantages. We’re a full-service grading and site prep company, so we can handle everything after the teardown — from grading and fill dirt to pad prep and drainage. That means you don’t have to hire multiple contractors; we take care of it all, start to finish.
- What happens if unexpected issues come up during demolition?
If we uncover something unexpected — like buried debris, a concrete slab thicker than normal, or an unknown utility line — I’ll stop work and talk with you right away. We’ll review the situation, agree on the best next step, and move forward with your approval. Communication is key, and I’ll always be upfront so there are no surprises.
- Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for demolition, grading, and excavation in North Carolina. That includes general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. I take safety and responsibility seriously — both for my crew and your property. You can rest easy knowing everything we do is backed by proper coverage and professionalism.
When it’s time to remove an old home, barn, or shop building, trust the company that handles it safely from teardown to final grade.
Customers Loved The Changes
Honest words from neighbors who've seen our work
Did a great job clearing several acres of our property that had become overgrown. It was a difficult job and they took extra care to not damage any trees. They also did a great job regrading the areas that were very uneven from past work others did on the land. Easy to work with, responsible and professional. I highly recommend them.
John is a true professional that knows his business. Stayed in contact before the job was done. Showed up on time and did a great job straightening out some erosion problems I had and gravelling our driveway. Highly recommend.
Had JG Grading and Landscaping out to my new construction home for a driveway and grading job. He did a fantastic and quick job at a reasonable price. His attention to detail was top notch concerning the design of my new driveway. Highly recommend!
