Remove Structures Before Development Begins

Selective demolition services in Port Charlotte, Florida and surrounding areas for site preparation, redevelopment, and land clearing projects.

When you are clearing land for new construction in Port Charlotte, Newport, Punta Gorda or a surrounding area, you might have old sheds, concrete slabs, fencing, or other small structures that need to be removed before grading can start. Leaving these obstacles in place delays the project and complicates site preparation. Jamison Tree Service Inc handles selective demolition as part of land clearing and redevelopment work.


We remove structures that interfere with construction timelines, including small outbuildings, foundations, driveways, and other barriers. The work is coordinated with your site preparation schedule so demolition, clearing, and grading happen in the right order. In Port Charlotte, where redevelopment often involves tearing down old improvements before building new ones, we focus on safe execution with the right equipment and planning.


If your project in Port Charlotte or a neighboring community requires demolition before clearing or grading, contact Jamison Tree Service Inc to discuss the scope and timing.

How Demolition Fits Into Site Preparation

We start by assessing what needs to come down and checking for utilities, hazardous materials, or structural concerns. In Port Charlotte, we use excavators, concrete breakers, and hauling equipment to dismantle and remove structures without damaging surrounding areas or delaying other site work.


After demolition, the site is cleared of debris and ready for grading or additional clearing. You will not see remnants of the old structure, and the ground is prepared for the next phase of development.


We handle demolition for residential lots, commercial properties, and multi-lot developments. Our equipment can break up and remove concrete, wooden structures, chain link or wood fencing, and other obstacles. We do not perform full building demolition or asbestos abatement, but we coordinate with contractors who do if your project requires it. All debris is hauled offsite, and we follow local disposal and safety regulations to keep the project on track and compliant.

Questions that come up during demolition planning

Demolition is often bundled with clearing and grading, but property owners and builders still want to know what the process involves and how long it takes. Here are the answers to the most common questions.

What kinds of structures can you remove?
We remove sheds, carports, small garages, concrete slabs, old driveways, fencing, and similar structures. Larger buildings or structures with hazardous materials require specialized contractors.
How do you handle utilities during demolition?
We confirm utility locations before starting and coordinate disconnection if needed. If active lines are present, we work with the utility provider to ensure the site is safe before demolition begins.
What happens to the debris after demolition?
We haul all debris offsite and dispose of it according to local regulations. Concrete, wood, and metal are separated for recycling when possible, and you are left with a clean lot.
How long does selective demolition take?
Most small structure removals take one to two days, depending on size and material. If demolition is part of a larger clearing project in Port Charlotte, we schedule it to match your construction timeline.
Do I need a permit for demolition in Port Charlotte?
Permit requirements depend on the structure type and size. We help you understand what is needed and provide documentation to support your permit application if required.
