South Coast Demo is a CSLB-licensed demolition contractor providing demolition and site clearing across Orange County, California. Site clearing is the work of stripping a lot back to clean, buildable ground: taking down structures, breaking out concrete and hardscape, clearing debris and overgrowth, then grading and hauling everything off. Whether you are prepping for new construction, an ADU, or a full rebuild, we leave the site clean, compacted, and ready for the next crew.
What Site Clearing Includes
- Structure demolition: garages, sheds, outbuildings, and small homes taken down and removed.
- Concrete and hardscape removal: driveways, slabs, patios, walkways, retaining walls, and pool decks.
- Pool removal: partial or full pool demolition with engineered backfill and compaction.
- Debris and vegetation clearing: brush, overgrowth, old foundations, and accumulated debris removed.
- Grading and haul-off: the lot leveled, compacted, and all material hauled to proper disposal.

Orange County Permits and Site Prep Considerations
Demolition and site clearing permits vary city to city across Orange County, and any ground intended for future construction usually needs engineered compaction and a soils report. We check the local rules before we bid, pull the permits, and coordinate the engineer reports when they are required, so the cleared site actually passes inspection for what you plan to build next.
