Old barn teardown, structural demolition, debris removal, and full site clearing. We take down barns, outbuildings, and agricultural structures and clean the site completely.
Backwell demolishes old barns, agricultural outbuildings, and farm structures throughout Clinton, Oneida County, and the surrounding area. Old barns represent a significant liability and safety hazard — collapsing roofs, rotted timbers, and failing foundations are a danger to people and livestock. We take them down completely and efficiently, removing all debris and leaving the site clean and ready for its next use.
Our barn demolition process includes structural assessment, selective salvage of usable materials if desired, mechanical demolition, complete debris removal and hauling, and foundation removal or filling as needed. We work on all sizes of agricultural structures from small outbuildings and equipment sheds to large dairy barns and multi-bay structures. Our equipment is right-sized for agricultural properties with limited access.

Clinton sits in the Oriskany Creek valley in southwestern Oneida County, a landscape of low drumlins rising above a flat valley floor. The village and surrounding commercial parcels are underlain mostly by Honeoye and Lansing silt loams on calcareous till, with bands of Howard gravelly loam on the outwash terraces along Oriskany Creek and Alden silt loam in the poorly drained swales.
Oriskany Creek and its tributaries drain north into the Mohawk River, and the creek's floodplain defines significant portions of the buildable land between Clinton and Kirkland. Commercial site work in the Clinton area regularly involves culvert sizing on the many small tributaries, dealing with seasonally perched water on the silt loam uplands, and the occasional shallow limestone or dolostone outcrop along the higher ground toward Hamilton College. The legacy of historic hematite iron mining can also introduce disturbed subsurface conditions on older industrial parcels near the Franklin Springs corridor. Stormwater design ties into the Mohawk River watershed through Oriskany Creek. Frost depth is substantial given the valley's interior climate.
