Demolition & Site Clearing in Winnipeg
Garages, old decks, fences, concrete and failed patios removed and hauled away, leaving a site ready to build on.
Most outdoor construction projects start with removing something. An old deck that has reached the end, a garage that is past saving, a patio that heaved years ago, a fence that has been leaning since before you bought the house.
We take those down, haul them away, and leave the site ready for whatever is going in next.
Why This Sits Alongside the Building Work
It is unusual for a landscaping company to offer demolition, and it exists here because the two keep meeting.
When a deck is replaced, something has to remove the old one and pull the footings. When a patio has failed badly enough to redo, the old surface and base have to come out before the new one goes in. When a garage comes down, the pad underneath is usually the next problem.
Having one crew do both means the removal is done with the rebuild in mind. The site gets left in the condition the next stage actually needs, rather than simply emptied.
What We Remove
- Detached garages and sheds
- Decks, including footings and piles
- Fences and retaining walls
- Concrete pads, walkways and old patios
- Failed paver installations, including the base underneath
- Site clearing and vegetation removal before a build
Selective Rather Than Wholesale
Most of this is selective demolition, which means taking out a specific structure while leaving everything around it intact. That is a different job from flattening a site, and it is mostly a question of care and sequencing rather than force.
On a residential lot there is usually a fence, a lawn, a neighbour’s property and a driveway that all need to survive the process.
Permits and Services
Demolition of most structures requires a permit in Winnipeg, and the surrounding municipalities each set their own requirements. Where services run to a structure, there are disconnection steps that have to happen first and in the right order.
We tell you what your project needs before anything comes down.
A Word on Hazardous Material
Older structures can contain asbestos and other hazardous material, and that is not something to take a view on informally. Where there is reason to suspect it, work stops and it gets assessed properly by people qualified to do that.
We do not handle hazardous material removal ourselves. Anyone who tells you not to worry about it on a building of a certain age is the wrong contractor.
Combine It With the Rebuild
If you are removing something in order to build something else, quoting both together is almost always cheaper. The equipment is already on site, the excavation overlaps, and there is no second mobilisation.

Demolition & Site Clearing Questions
Do I need a permit to demolish a garage in Winnipeg?
Usually yes. Winnipeg requires a permit for demolition of most accessory structures, and requirements vary across the surrounding municipalities. There are also disconnection steps where services run to the structure. We walk you through what your project needs before anything comes down.
Do you handle the disposal?
Yes, and it is a real part of the cost rather than an afterthought. Demolition produces a lot of material, some of it heavy and some of it needing to be separated. The quote includes hauling it away and leaving the site clean.
Can you demolish and then rebuild?
That is the usual reason people call us for this. Taking down the old deck, garage or patio and building the replacement with the same crew means one point of contact, no gap between trades, and the site preparation for the new build happens as part of the removal.
What about asbestos or hazardous material?
Older structures can contain it, and it is not something to guess about. Where there is any reason to suspect hazardous material we stop and it gets assessed properly before work continues. That is not a service we provide ourselves, and anyone who tells you not to worry about it is the wrong contractor.
