Demolition and debris hauling in Corrales
Corrales properties collect outbuildings over the decades: sagging sheds, old stalls, pipe and wire fencing, an old slab nobody remembers pouring. We take out what's past saving and haul it off without tearing up the pasture.
Village rules, utilities and old materials
The Village of Corrales has its own rules and permits, separate from Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. Taking down a structure can require a permit, so check with the village before we schedule.
Any power, water or gas to the building has to be disconnected first. Older sheds and outbuildings may also contain materials such as asbestos that need testing; if we see signs of it, we stop and tell you before disturbing anything.
Corrales cleanups we take on
Old stalls before a new arena
Worn-out stalls, shade structures and fencing come out so the arena site can be cleared and graded.
Fence lines swallowed by trees
Wire and pipe fencing buried in Russian olive and elm is pulled out along with the brush, and the metal is separated for hauling.
Concrete from a structure that's gone
Slabs and footings are broken out and hauled, and the area is backfilled so it can return to pasture or be built on.
An outdoor estate cleanout
When a property changes hands, decades of outdoor piles, scrap lumber and old equipment parts often need to go. We sort it and haul it.
What makes a Corrales demolition bigger or smaller
Every property here is different. These are the things we weigh when we write the quote.
- Ground conditions
- Land near the bosque or freshly irrigated fields can be too soft for loaded trucks, so timing matters.
- Trees around the structure
- A cottonwood beside a shed means slower, more careful work to keep debris and machines off its root zone.
- Ditches nearby
- Structures close to an acequia or lateral need extra care, and work in the ditch easement typically needs MRGCD permission.
- Mixed materials
- Wood, metal, concrete and roofing sorted into separate loads take more handling than a single pile.
- Trailer access
- Wide gates and long drives built for horse trailers help; tight gates add carrying time.
Nothing goes in the ditch
It's easy for scrap to slide into a nearby ditch during a tear-down. We stage piles away from acequias and laterals and never fill or block one. If a structure sits on a ditch easement, MRGCD's permission typically comes first.

Demolition & hauling questions in Corrales
Can you set aside lumber or metal panels I want to keep?
Tell us what you want before we start. We'll set aside pieces we can remove intact, though some material won't come out of a demolition in usable shape.
Will the trucks damage my pasture?
Soft ground is the main risk. We schedule hauling for when the ground is firm and choose a route across the property with you.
Do you remove old barbed wire and T-posts?
Yes. Old fencing of all kinds is part of the job. Wire and posts are pulled, bundled and hauled off with the other metal.
