Clearing & Demolition

Land Clearing Midland and Permian Basin Sites Need First

Advance Excavating and Paving handles land clearing Midland and Odessa builders start with — brush, trees, stumps, and demolition debris removed so pads, septic, and paving can begin across the Permian Basin since 1996.

Clearing and demolition remove what is in the way of new construction: brush, trees, stumps, old slabs, and structures that must come down before pads, septic, and paving go in. We run mulchers, dozers, excavators, and dump trucks in-house. Debris loads out as work progresses so earthwork does not stall waiting on haulers.

LAND CLEARING

Land clearing removes trees, brush, stumps, and debris so grading or paving can start on a clean surface. On raw acreage or overgrown lots, clearing is usually the first step before pads, septic, driveways, or metal buildings.

Residential: New homes, shops, barns, driveways, and septic fields. Mesquite, cedar, and brush on rural tracts; selective clearing on in-town lots around utilities and property lines.

Commercial: Pad expansions, retail sites, laydown yards, and facility access roads at scale, matched to civil plans and GC schedules.

What land clearing covers:

  • Brush and small timber removal — Mesquite, cedar, and scrub blocking access or pad layout.
  • Tree removal in clear zone — Felling and processing; hazard trees assessed first.
  • Stump and root removal — To depth required for grading, compaction, or foundations.
  • Debris haul-off — Dump trucks run during clearing so the site stays workable.
  • Rough grade after clear — Transition into grading when part of full site prep.
  • Erosion protection — Basic controls on larger or sloped sites during West Texas wind events.

 

TREE REMOVAL

Tree removal takes down specific trees or groups that block construction, threaten structures, or must clear for pads, driveways, and septic fields. We are a construction contractor, not a canopy-trimming tree service. Work is oriented toward build-ready sites: trees out of the footprint, stumps out of the grade, debris off site. Common situations:
  • Trees in the footprint of a home, shop, driveway, or septic system
  • Dead or storm-damaged hazard trees near structures or lines
  • Selective removal on ranch land without full-acre clearing
  • Storm cleanup — fallen trees blocking access or on structures
Includes assessment, felling and processing, stump excavation or grinding, and haul-off. Texas 811 locates when stump work may encounter buried utilities. Need a full tract opened up? Land clearing is the broader scope; tree removal targets defined areas so you are not paying to clear acreage you do not need.

We clear and demo sites across Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, and the wider Permian Basin.

HOUSE DEMOLITION

House demolition is controlled teardown of a residential structure: aging home, fire damage, or obsolete building on a lot you are redeveloping. Utilities disconnected, hazards addressed per regulation, debris hauled, and slab or foundation removed when the new build needs a clean footprint.

What demolition includes:

  • Pre-demolition — Utility disconnects, permits, access plan.
  • Structure demolition — Mechanical teardown to ground or below slab.
  • Slab and foundation removal — When new construction requires virgin grade.
  • Debris haul-off — Site cleared for pad, septic, or new build.
  • Rough grade — When demo leads into site prep on the same contract.

Demolition can be phase one of a single contract: teardown, slab removal, pad, septic, and driveway, one contractor, one schedule.

  3. Clear or demo — Equipment on site; debris processed and hauled continuously.
  4. Site ready — Clean surface for grading, pads, or construction.
