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 Hannibal, Oswego 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.

Hannibal lies in western Oswego County on the Lake Ontario lake plain, about six miles inland from the shoreline. The soils across the hamlet and the Route 3 and Route 104 commercial corridors are dominated by Sodus gravelly loam and Arkport fine sandy loam on the rolling drumlin-and-beach-ridge terrain, with Canandaigua silty clay loam and Lyons silt loam in the low, poorly drained swales between ridges.
Drainage flows northward through Sterling Creek and the Little Salmon River toward Lake Ontario, with relatively flat regional gradients and extensive agricultural tile drainage shaping the current landscape. Commercial excavation around Hannibal typically involves managing seasonal high water tables on the flats, trenching through stony, cobbly till on the drumlin crests, and stormwater design that accounts for the limited receiving capacity of small tributary streams. Bedrock is generally deep. Frost heave on the poorly drained silt loam soils is a routine design constraint for pavement, slab, and utility work. Projects along Route 104 often require structural fill importation and enhanced stormwater detention to meet Wayne-to-Oswego watershed standards.
