Our demolition process includes thorough planning, safe execution, complete debris removal, and site preparation for your next project.

From pre-demolition surveys to final grading, we manage the entire process so you can focus on what comes next for your property.

Comprehensive Demolition Services

Every demolition project is unique, and our approach reflects that. We begin with a thorough site assessment to evaluate the structure, identify potential hazards such as asbestos or lead paint, and develop a demolition plan that prioritizes safety and efficiency. Our fleet of excavators, loaders, and specialized demolition attachments allows us to handle structures ranging from small outbuildings to large commercial facilities. We coordinate utility disconnections, neighbor notifications, and permit requirements to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.

After the structure is brought down, our work continues with complete debris removal and site cleanup. We sort demolition materials for recycling whenever possible - concrete is crushed and repurposed, metals are sent to recycling facilities, and clean lumber is diverted from landfills. This environmentally responsible approach reduces disposal costs and keeps reusable materials out of the waste stream. Once debris is cleared, we can grade the site to prepare it for new construction, landscaping, or whatever your plans may be.

Top 5 Benefits of Professional Demolition

1. Safety First

Demolition work involves significant risks including structural collapse, falling debris, hazardous materials, and heavy equipment operation. Our trained operators follow strict safety protocols on every project, using proper protective equipment and techniques to protect workers, neighboring properties, and bystanders. We carry comprehensive insurance coverage to provide peace of mind for property owners throughout the Memphis and Millington area.

2. Proper Permitting and Compliance

Demolition projects in Tennessee require proper permits and compliance with local building codes, environmental regulations, and utility coordination. Our team is familiar with the requirements in Memphis, Millington, Shelby County, and Tipton County. We guide you through the permitting process and ensure all work meets local standards, protecting you from fines and liability.

3. Complete Site Cleanup

Unlike some demolition contractors who leave piles of debris behind, Modern Shovel LLC includes complete site cleanup with every demolition project. We remove all debris, backfill foundation voids, and grade the site so it is ready for its next use. You are left with a clean, level property - not a mess to deal with.

4. Environmentally Responsible Disposal

We are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of demolition work. Our crew sorts materials on-site, diverting recyclable concrete, metals, and lumber from landfills. This approach reduces disposal costs while supporting sustainable practices. We dispose of all remaining materials at licensed facilities in compliance with Tennessee environmental regulations.

5. Time and Cost Savings

Professional demolition with heavy equipment is dramatically faster and more cost-effective than manual teardown. Our excavators and specialized attachments can bring down and process structures in a fraction of the time, reducing labor costs and getting your project moving sooner. By bundling demolition with debris hauling, grading, and site preparation, we eliminate the need for multiple contractors and keep your overall project costs under control.
