​Professional Demolition & Site Clearing

​Clearing the Path for Your Next Vision

Every great build begins with a clean slate. At D. Benson Trucking and Excavating, we provide controlled, systematic demolition services for residential, agricultural, and light commercial properties across Eastern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. We don't just tear structures down; we manage the entire process—from safety permits and utility disconnects to debris hauling and final site stabilization.

 

Our Demolition Capabilities

Residential & Accessory Structures

Whether you’re making room for a new custom home or removing an unsafe eyesore, we handle small-to-medium scale teardowns with surgical precision.

• Full House Demolition: Complete removal including the foundation and footings.

• Garage & Shed Teardowns: Quick, efficient removal of outbuildings and concrete pads.

• Swimming Pool Removal: Proper demolition, backfilling, and compaction to prevent future sinkholes.

 

Agricultural & Barn Demolition

We specialize in the heavy-duty removal of old farm infrastructure. We understand the complexities of weathered timber, reinforced concrete, and large-scale debris management.

• Barn & Silo Removal: Safely bringing down tall or unstable structures.

• Concrete Feed Lot & Foundation Breaking: Using heavy breakers to remove thick, reinforced slabs.

• Fenceline & Gate Clearing: Removing old wire and posts to prep for new boundaries.

 

Concrete & Asphalt Removal

Removing old driveways, patios, or parking lots requires the right attachments. We break up and haul away heavy masonry so your new sub-base can be installed correctly.

• Breaking & Crushing: Turning old foundations into manageable debris.

• Recycling & Hauling: We prioritize hauling concrete to recycling centers whenever possible.

​

The Benson Demolition Process

• Site Preparation: We ensure all utilities (water, gas, electric) are safely capped and flagged before any machine touches the structure.

• Material Sorting: We separate wood, metal, and concrete to minimize landfill impact and keep your disposal costs down.

• Basement & Void Backfilling: Once a foundation is removed, we fill the hole with structural fill and compact it in "lifts" to ensure the ground is stable enough to build on immediately.

• Erosion Control: We don't leave you with a mud pit. We grade the site for proper drainage and can install silt fencing or seed to keep the soil in place.

Demolition is high-stakes work. D. Benson Trucking and Excavating is fully insured and bonded. We follow strict safety protocols to protect our crew, your property, and the environment. We handle the "dirty work" so you can focus on the construction phase with peace of mind.
