Our Demo & Site Clearing Capabilities

ICON handles the early stages of sitework with safe demolition, organized haul-off, and efficient clearing. We prepare residential, commercial, and rural properties for new builds, additions, and site improvements.

Structure Demolition

Removal of sheds, garages, small buildings, decks, and old outbuildings. We complete demo safely and leave the site ready for clearing or grading.

Concrete & Hardscape Removal

Breaking and hauling away old slabs, patios, sidewalks, and driveways. We remove failing concrete so you can start fresh.

Brush & Vegetation Clearing

Clearing overgrowth, tall grass, underbrush, and small trees as applicable. This creates safe access and exposes usable ground.

Debris Removal & Haul-Off

Clearing out trash, rubble, abandoned materials, and buried debris. We remove the material so the site is clean and ready for the next stage.

Lot Clearing & Cleanup

Full-site clearing for new homes, shops, barns, or commercial pads. We eliminate obstacles and prepare the land for grading or excavation.

Selective Demo & Cleanouts

Targeted removal of only the elements you need removed, including partial structures, fencing, or non-load-bearing materials.

ICON’s clearing crews use organized methods, efficient equipment, and clean haul-off processes to reset your property quickly and safely.

Our Demo & Site Clearing Process

Technology That Supports Safe, Efficient Site Clearing


GPS Machine Control

When clearing ties into grading or building pad prep, GPS-guided equipment ensures elevations and limits are followed accurately, preventing over-excavation or unnecessary disturbance.

Digital Site Layout & Marking

Clear boundaries and layout controls help us remove only what needs to go while protecting structures, utilities, and areas that remain in place.

Machine-Matched Attachments

Specialized attachments allow controlled demolition, concrete removal, and vegetation clearing without damaging surrounding areas.

On-Site Verification

Field checks confirm all required materials, debris, and obstacles have been fully removed before the next phase begins.

Demo & Site Clearing FAQs

What types of structures can you demolish?

We handle sheds, garages, barns, small buildings, decks, patios, and similar structures. Larger or more complex demo scopes are reviewed during the site visit to confirm access and disposal requirements.

Do you remove all debris and haul it off-site?

Yes. All demolition debris, concrete, vegetation, and unwanted material are removed so the property is left clean and ready for grading or construction.

Can you clear brush and overgrown lots?

Yes. We remove brush, undergrowth, tall grass, and overgrowth to open up the site and improve access. Clearing scope depends on vegetation density and site conditions.

Will site clearing expose drainage or grading issues?

Often, yes. Clearing removes debris and vegetation that can hide low spots, erosion, or poor drainage. Once exposed, those issues can be addressed through grading or drainage work if needed.

Do I need permits for demolition or clearing?

Some structures require permits depending on the city or county. ICON coordinates with local agencies when permits or approvals are required.
