Austin, We're in the Neighborhood

Zilker / Barton Hills (The Tree Zone)

"In the Zilker neighborhood, we successfully demolished a 1950s ranch house while protecting a massive 24-inch Heritage Live Oak. Using the TORA (Tree Ordinance Review Application) process, we hand-dug the utility disconnects within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ). Not only did we avoid a $10,000+ city fine, but we also ensured the builder’s new foundation was approved without a single tree violation stop-work order."

East Austin (The Older Home Specialist)

"East Austin demolition projects now require strict compliance with the 2026 TDSHS Asbestos Survey rules. For this project near Holly St, we managed the 10-day state notification and safely abated the siding before structural removal. We delivered a clean, graded lot that was fully compliant with the Austin Resource Recovery C&D Ordinance, diverting 60% of the materials for recycling."

Tarrytown (The Luxury Site Prep)

"Demolishing a luxury property in Tarrytown meant strictly managing Erosion and Sedimentation Controls (ESC). We installed COA-spec silt fencing and protected the neighborhood’s storm drains from runoff. By capping the sewer lines at the main per Austin Water code, we provided the homeowner with a build-ready site that was cleared of all subsurface concrete and ready for immediate new construction.
