🏗️ Project Overview: Full House Demolition in Gallia County
The property owner in Bidwell had an aging, vacant home that had fallen into disrepair. Structural damage, mold growth, and foundational instability made renovation cost-prohibitive, so the client opted for complete demolition to make way for a new home build.
📋 Key Project Details:
- 📍 Location: Bidwell, OH (Gallia County)
- 📅 Date Completed: August 5, 2025
- 🏚️ Scope: Full house demolition, debris removal, rough grading
- 🛠️ Equipment Used: Excavator, skid steer, roll-off dumpsters, safety fencing
- ♻️ Sustainability: 30% of materials recycled (concrete, metals)
🛠️ Step-by-Step Demolition Process
At Little’s Landscaping & Excavation, we follow a strict protocol for safe and efficient house demolition, complying with all Ohio EPA, local code, and OSHA regulations. Here's how we completed this Bidwell project:
1. Permitting & Utility Disconnection
Before any demolition began, we secured all necessary demolition permits from Gallia County and coordinated with utility companies to disconnect electric, gas, water, and sewer lines safely.
2. Site Safety & Prep
We set up temporary fencing, marked hazards, and brought in erosion control materials. Safety is always our top priority—for our crew, neighbors, and surrounding property.
3. Manual Deconstruction (Selective)
The roof and hazardous materials (including old insulation and minor asbestos-containing debris) were removed by hand to prevent contamination and allow for proper disposal.
4. Mechanical Demolition
We used an excavator with a hydraulic thumb to dismantle the structure from top to bottom. Debris was sorted into piles: wood, concrete, metal, and general waste.
5. Debris Hauling & Disposal
Over 5 roll-off dumpsters were used to haul away debris. Metal and concrete were recycled locally, and remaining materials were disposed of in accordance with EPA-approved landfills.
6. Final Grading & Cleanup
After demolition, we graded the lot with a 2% slope for proper drainage and spread topsoil to stabilize the ground—making it ready for future construction or landscaping.
💡 Why Choose Demolition Over Renovation?

✅ New home construction
✅ Modular home installation
