Demolition and debris hauling in Paradise Hills
In Paradise Hills, debris jobs usually start in a backyard: an old shed coming down for a new one, a cracked patio slab, or a side yard full of things that should have gone years ago. We clear it and haul it off.
Got a complaint about weeds and trash?
In the unincorporated part of Paradise Hills, the Paradise Hills Special Zoning Commission responds to written neighbor complaints, and excessive weeds and trash are among the most common. If you've received one, send it our way. We can clear the debris and weeds together and provide before-and-after photos.
Typical Paradise Hills debris and demolition work
Replacing an old shed
The old one comes down, its floor or slab comes out, and the spot is left clean for the new shed.
Breaking out a cracked patio
Concrete that has heaved or split is broken up and hauled, ready for a new patio or gravel.
Clearing for an addition
Anything in the footprint has to go first. Keep in mind that new construction in the special zoning district needs a commission-approved plot survey before you apply to the county for a building permit.
A rental or estate yard cleanout
Years of stored items, scrap and yard waste are loaded and hauled, with hazardous items kept apart.
Taking down a backyard structure, step by step
- 1
Check which rules apply
Find out whether your address is in the special zoning district or inside Albuquerque city limits, and whether removing the structure needs a permit.
- 2
Disconnect utilities
Any power or water run to the structure has to be shut off and disconnected before demolition.
- 3
Look for older materials
Older structures may contain materials like asbestos that need testing. If we see signs of that, we stop and tell you.
- 4
Demolish, sort and haul
Wood, metal and concrete are separated where practical and hauled off.
- 5
Leave the ground stable
Sandy mesa soil blows once it's bare, so if nothing goes on the spot right away, we talk about covering it with gravel, rock or mulch.
What drives the size of a Paradise Hills job
Most jobs here are modest, but a few things make them bigger.
- Gate and side-yard width
- Narrow access means more carrying by hand to the trailer.
- Slab thickness and footings
- A thin patio breaks up more easily than a thick slab with footings under it.
- How much is mixed together
- Junk tangled with soil, brush and concrete takes longer to sort.
- Hazardous items
- Paint, chemicals, tires and batteries need special disposal and are handled on their own.

Demolition & hauling questions in Paradise Hills
Can you remove an old block wall between my yard and the neighbor's?
We can take out old walls, but a shared wall is a conversation with your neighbor first, and possibly a boundary question. Once you both agree, we break it out and haul the block.
Can you take out a shed slab without wrecking the rest of my yard?
We break out the slab with equipment sized to the yard, load from the closest access point and keep traffic off areas you want protected.
What's left after you remove an old slab?
Bare ground with the old base exposed. We pick up the concrete and debris and can grade the spot level. If something new is going there, your builder will tell you what base it needs.
