Clear the Way for Your Next Project

Demolition and site clearing services for residential and commercial properties in Yonkers, New York

When an old garage, cracked slab, or abandoned structure sits on your property in Yonkers, it blocks new construction, hides drainage problems, and creates safety hazards that only get worse over time. Demolition removes those obstacles using controlled methods that protect surrounding structures, utilities, and landscaping while clearing debris so your site is ready for the next phase of work.

A.M.C. Excavation, LLC handles structure and slab demolition, concrete breaking, debris hauling, and final site clearing. The crew uses excavators with hydraulic attachments to break apart foundations, walls, and pavement, then separates materials for recycling or disposal. Once demolition is complete, the site is graded smooth and any remaining debris is removed, leaving you with clean ground ready for grading, utilities, or new construction.

Controlled demolition and debris removal steps

The crew starts by identifying utilities that run through or near the demolition area at your Yonkers site, then isolates those lines to prevent accidental damage. Structures are taken down from the top, with walls and roofs removed before the foundation is broken apart. Concrete slabs are cracked into manageable sections using a hydraulic hammer or breaker attachment, then lifted and loaded into dump trucks for hauling.

After demolition, your site will be free of standing structures, broken concrete, and hidden debris that could interfere with excavation or grading. The ground will be level enough to walk across without tripping hazards, and any soil disturbance caused by demolition will be smoothed out before the crew leaves.

Debris is sorted on-site when possible, with concrete and metal sent to recycling facilities and wood or mixed materials hauled to approved disposal locations. If the project includes removal of asbestos siding, lead paint, or other hazardous materials, the crew coordinates with licensed abatement contractors to handle those items separately. The service does not include interior gut-outs or selective deconstruction, but it does cover full structure removal and site clearing down to bare ground.

What to expect when demolition begins

Homeowners and developers in Yonkers often ask how long demolition takes, what happens to the debris, and whether the crew can leave certain features in place. These questions depend on the size of the structure, site access, and whether utilities need to be disconnected before work begins.

What does site clearing include after demolition?
Site clearing removes all debris, backfills any voids left by the foundation, and grades the surface to a level plane. You are left with clean ground ready for construction, landscaping, or further excavation work.
How do you protect nearby structures during demolition?
The crew uses excavators with precision controls to take down walls and slabs in sections, keeping falling debris away from adjacent buildings, fences, and utilities. Barriers or plywood shields are placed where additional protection is needed.
Why does concrete need to be broken into smaller pieces?
Concrete slabs and foundations are too heavy to haul whole, so they are cracked into sections that fit in a dump truck. Smaller pieces also stack more efficiently and are easier to recycle at the processing facility.
How long does a typical demolition take?
Residential demolition jobs in Yonkers usually take one to three days, depending on the size of the structure and the amount of debris. Larger commercial buildings or sites with difficult access may require more time and equipment.
What happens to the debris after it is hauled away?
Concrete is crushed and recycled as aggregate, metal is sent to scrap yards, and wood or mixed debris goes to landfills or waste-to-energy facilities. The crew tracks disposal to ensure compliance with local regulations.
