Landscape Demolition

The Essential First Step to Your Dream Landscape

Every great landscape transformation starts with a clean slate. Whether your yard is overgrown with neglected vegetation, cluttered with crumbling concrete, or simply outdated and ready for a complete overhaul, professional landscape demolition is the critical first step that sets the stage for everything that comes next. At Complete Landscape Management, we handle the heavy lifting so you do not have to, clearing away the old and leaving you with a clean, level surface that is ready for your new landscape vision.

With over 14 years of industry experience and a reputation for clean, efficient work throughout the Phoenix Valley, our family-owned team has demolished and cleared hundreds of residential landscapes ranging from small backyard cleanups to complete front and back yard tearouts. We understand that demolition can feel overwhelming, especially when you are staring at a yard full of dead plants, broken concrete, and years of accumulated debris. That is why we make the process simple. You tell us what needs to go, we give you an honest price, and we get it done quickly and thoroughly with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Complete Landscape Tearout and Removal

Our full landscape demolition service covers everything from start to finish. We remove all existing vegetation, hardscape materials, irrigation components, and debris down to bare ground, then grade the surface smooth and haul everything away. When we are done, your property looks like a blank canvas ready for whatever comes next, whether that is a new desert landscape, artificial turf, hardscape patio, or a complete outdoor living space.

A complete tearout is the best option when the existing landscape is beyond repair or when you want to start completely fresh with a new design. Many Phoenix homes were originally landscaped with plants and materials that are not well-suited to the desert climate, and after years of struggling to keep them alive, homeowners reach a point where ripping everything out and starting over is more cost-effective than continuing to pour water and money into a failing landscape. We see this all the time, and we make the transition as smooth as possible.

What We Remove

No matter what your yard is currently filled with, our demolition crews have the equipment, experience, and manpower to handle it. Our landscape demolition services include removal of:

• Dead, overgrown, or unwanted trees and large shrubs
• Tree stumps and root systems including grinding below grade
• Old natural grass lawns and dead sod
• Worn-out artificial turf and the base material beneath it
• Cracked or heaving concrete slabs, walkways, and patios
• Old pavers, flagstone, and decomposed granite that has compacted or shifted
• Existing rock and gravel including landscape fabric underneath
• Broken or outdated irrigation pipe, valves, and components
• Retaining walls, block walls, and raised planter beds
• Old landscape borders, edging, and timbers
• General yard debris, construction waste, and accumulated junk

Concrete and Paver Removal

Removing old concrete is one of the most physically demanding parts of landscape demolition, and it requires the right equipment and expertise to do it safely and efficiently. We use concrete saws, jackhammers, and skid steer loaders to break up and remove concrete slabs, walkways, curbing, and patio surfaces of any thickness. We can handle reinforced concrete with rebar, stamped concrete, and even thick commercial-grade slabs.

Old paver patios and walkways that have settled, shifted, or become uneven are also common demolition projects. We carefully remove the pavers and the compacted base material underneath, then grade the surface in preparation for new hardscape installation. If the existing pavers are in good condition, we can sometimes salvage and reuse them in the new design, saving you money on materials.

Tree and Stump Removal

Dead, diseased, or overgrown trees are some of the most challenging elements to remove from a landscape, especially when they are close to structures, power lines, or property boundaries. Our team has the tools and training to safely fell, section, and remove trees of all sizes from residential properties. We cut the tree down to grade, then grind the stump below the surface so it does not interfere with new landscaping.

In Phoenix, common removal candidates include dead or dying ficus trees, overgrown oleanders, mesquite trees that have become too large for the space, and palm trees that have grown out of proportion with the property. We also remove the extensive root systems that desert trees can develop, which is important for preventing new growth and ensuring a clean base for whatever you plan to install next.

Debris Hauling and Responsible Disposal

Landscape demolition generates a significant amount of waste, and getting rid of it properly is a critical part of the job. We do not leave debris piled in your driveway or along your curb for you to deal with. Every demolition project includes complete removal and hauling of all materials from your property. Our trucks and trailers are designed to handle heavy loads of concrete, soil, rock, and green waste efficiently.

We are committed to responsible disposal practices. Green waste such as trees, shrubs, and grass is taken to composting and recycling facilities whenever possible rather than sent to landfills. Concrete and masonry materials are delivered to recycling centers that crush and repurpose them for road base and construction fill. We do our best to minimize the environmental impact of every demolition project while keeping your costs reasonable.

Site Preparation for New Landscaping

Demolition is only half the job. Once everything is removed, we prepare the site for whatever comes next. This includes grading the surface to ensure proper drainage, compacting the soil base where needed, and making sure the area is clean and level. If you are planning to have us build your new landscape as well, we coordinate the demolition and construction phases seamlessly so there is no downtime or wasted effort between the two.

Many of our demolition clients move directly into one of our other services such as landscape construction, artificial turf installation, or hardscaping. Bundling demolition with your new landscape build often saves money because we can plan both phases together and eliminate redundant work.
