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 Clyde, Wayne 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.

Clyde lies in the Clyde River valley in southeastern Wayne County, inside the western Finger Lakes drumlin field. Drumlin uplands surrounding the village carry Honeoye silt loam and Lima silt loam over calcareous till, while the Clyde River floodplain and adjacent Erie Canal lands run through Canandaigua silty clay loam, Lyons silt loam, and organic muck deposits from relict swamp conditions.
The Erie Canal and the Clyde River parallel each other through town, and both strongly influence grading, utility, and stormwater design on any nearby commercial parcel. Site work here often involves managing very flat drainage gradients, dewatering on slab and foundation excavations in the muck and clay loam flats, and imported structural fill where native soils cannot carry commercial loading. The surrounding drumlin crests can produce cobbly, stony subgrades that slow trenching. Projects near the canal fall under NYS Canal Corp permitting in addition to Wayne County stormwater requirements. Frost depth is moderate, reflecting the lake-moderated Wayne County microclimate.
