PRECISION REMOVAL.
VERIFIED RESULTS.
Demolition is the controlled removal of rock, concrete, and hardscape that stands between raw ground and your next phase of construction. When the job is done, you get clean, verified grade — documented with survey-grade RTK data that proves every cubic yard was accounted for. No guesswork. No disputed yardage. Just the data that lets the next phase begin on schedule.
Rock & Boulder
Demolition
In-situ hydraulic rock breaking using an NPK GH6 hammer mounted on the CAT 308E2 CR. Limestone shelves, embedded boulders, and subsurface rock formations broken to spec without overexcavation. The RTK pre-scan locates rock before iron arrives — so every hit is planned, not discovered.
CAT 308E2 CR CARRIER · ±0.5CM PRE-SCAN
Concrete & Slab
Removal
Complete removal of existing concrete — driveways, patios, sidewalks, slabs, and old foundations. Broken, loaded, and hauled or crushed on-site when feasible. Every square foot documented: RTK scans before and after confirm exact material volume removed and final grade achieved.
ON-SITE CRUSHING WHEN FEASIBLE · C&D RECYCLING
Pool Demolition
Single inground pool removal — gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl liner. Shell broken, steel separated, backfill compacted. Pairs naturally with site prep for pool builders installing a replacement or infill developers clearing existing lots.
BACKFILL COMPACTION · GRADE VERIFICATION
Foundation Removal
Per-structure foundation extraction — pier and beam or slab-on-grade. Pairs with infill development pipeline where existing foundations must be removed before new construction begins. Material sorted on-site for recycling compliance.

KNOW THE COST
BEFORE THE HAMMER DROPS.
Every ClearGround demolition project starts with an RTK drone scan that maps your site to centimeter accuracy. That scan produces an exact scope — and an exact price. The ranges below reflect typical Austin residential and light commercial projects.
All pricing reflects typical Central Texas residential and light commercial demolition. Actual quotes based on site conditions assessed during your free RTK drone scan. Factors: concrete depth, rock density, rebar patterns, access, and hauling distance. Every proposal includes detailed scope, timeline, and fixed price.
WE SCAN BEFORE WE BREAK.
Most demo crews show up, look at the slab, and start swinging. We show up with a Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK drone that maps every square foot of your demolition zone to ±0.5cm accuracy before the hammer drops once. Rock density assessed. Concrete depth measured. Utility runs flagged. Every variable that causes cost overruns on other demo jobs gets accounted for on this one.
Compact radius excavator. 17,900 lb operating weight. Zero tail swing for tight-lot demo work. Quick coupler switches between hammer, bucket, and thumb without downtime.
1,500 lb class hammer with chisel bit. Purpose-built for limestone and concrete breaking. Matched to the CAT 308's hydraulic flow for maximum impact energy without over-stressing the carrier.
Survey-grade RTK positioning. ±0.5cm horizontal accuracy. Pre-demo mapping, weekly progress scans, and final as-built documentation. Integrates with DroneDeploy and InSite Elevation Pro.
EVERY LOAD SORTED.
EVERY TICKET DOCUMENTED.
Austin's C&D recycling ordinance requires diversion documentation on demolition projects. We sort on-site, document every load, and deliver diversion records as part of the project package. Concrete goes to crushing facilities. Steel gets separated. Clean fill gets reused when possible.
Clearing the Old
to Build the New
Existing foundations, old driveways, abandoned pools — infill lots come with baggage. Demolition is the first step in your site prep sequence: remove what's there, verify the grade, and hand it off clean for land clearing and excavation. One mobilization. One crew. Documented start to finish.
See the Infill Developer JourneyWhen the Old Pool
Has to Go First
Client wants a new pool but the old gunite shell is still in the ground. Or there's a concrete patio where the new shell needs to go. Pool demolition pairs naturally with pool excavation — remove the old, scan the site, dig the new.

After demo comes clearing and grading. Construction-ready finish for pool builders and infill developers.
