Edmond & the OKC metro · since 1994
Thirty-two years on a machine in this metro. Pools, slabs, interiors, brush, storm mess, dirt work. Fully insured, and the estimate is free.
What Mike does
Same operator on the machine every time. No crews you've never met, no subs you didn't hire.
Partial or full. We'll explain the difference before you pick.
Contractor
Gut it clean, haul it out, leave the structure right.
Contractor
Take out exactly what the plan says and nothing else.
Homeowner
Trees down, fence gone, yard full of it. Hauled off.
Homeowner
Brush, scrub, stumps, fence rows. Down to usable ground.

Drives, patios, slabs, footings. Broken and gone.

Pads, slopes, drainage away from the house.

One real job, start to finish
Edmond backyard. Every photo is Mike's own work — no stock, no somebody else's job.
“Mike did a phenomenal job at a fair price. He was flexible, kind, and absolutely was the best operator I have ever worked with. I will call Mike and recommend him to anyone who needs demo or Bobcat services.”

What pulls up at your place
A Takeuchi TL10 on rubber tracks, hauled in on his own trailer. When you call 405-413-4272, this is the rig that shows up.
Straight answer
Nobody in this business likes publishing numbers. Mike is putting real ranges together so you can plan before you ever pick up the phone. Every job gets looked at in person before a real price.
We’re figuring these up now. Mike is going back through the smallest and largest jobs he’s done of each kind — yours will most likely fall somewhere between those two. Ranges go up here as soon as he has them.
The thing nobody tells you
Cheaper, faster, and the usual answer.
The deck comes off, the walls get collapsed into the hole, holes get punched in the bottom so water drains through, and the whole thing is backfilled and graded. Grass grows back and you'd never know.
The catch: there is buried concrete in your yard. That commonly has to be disclosed when the house sells, and it can affect an appraisal, a buyer's financing, or what you can ever build on that spot.
Costs more. No asterisk.
Everything comes out — shell, deck, plumbing, all of it — and leaves the property. The hole gets engineered fill, compacted in lifts, and graded.
Why it matters: nothing to disclose, nothing to explain to a buyer, and you can build on it later.
Mike will tell you which one your situation actually calls for, including when partial is the sensible choice. He'd rather you know now than find out at closing.
Answer it yourself
Measure the narrowest spot the machine has to get through — usually the gate.
Rough numbers, so the dirt and haul-off don't blindside you.
The part you're actually worried about
Everybody's real fear is a machine tearing a path across the lawn to get to the back, and nobody in this trade wants to talk about it.
Mike runs a tracked machine that spreads its weight, lays down mats over soft ground, and puts the access path back — ruts filled, sod down, gate rehung. If the ground's too wet to do it without damage, he'll tell you to wait a week instead of taking your money and wrecking it.
Where he works
Based in Edmond. Most weeks the machine is somewhere between Guthrie and Norman.
Not on the list? Call anyway — if it's a day's work he'll usually make the drive.
Before anybody digs
Oklahoma law requires a utility locate before excavation, and it takes a couple of working days. Mike makes that call on every job. Anybody who offers to dig in your yard this afternoon is telling you something about how they work.
The fastest way to get a number
Stand where the work is, take one photo, send it. That tells Mike more in five seconds than a form does in five minutes — and you'll hear back with a real answer, not a “thanks for your inquiry.”
