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 Marcellus, Onondaga 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.

Marcellus occupies the Ninemile Creek valley in southwestern Onondaga County, where the creek drops off the Appalachian Plateau toward the Onondaga lowland through a deeply cut gorge. Upland soils are predominantly Honeoye silt loam and Mardin channery silt loam, with Lordstown channery silt loam on the steeper plateau slopes and Palmyra gravelly loam on the outwash benches along the creek.
Ninemile Creek drains north into Onondaga Lake, and its downstream remediation work imposes additional permitting and monitoring requirements on earthwork that affects the creek corridor. Commercial site work in Marcellus regularly involves shallow shale and siltstone bedrock on the plateau-edge parcels, steep-cut stabilization along the gorge walls, and fragipan-driven perched water on the higher silt loam uplands. Stormwater permitting ties into the Onondaga Lake watershed. Frost depth and slope stability both push detail on pavement, utility, and culvert work in and around the village. Projects in the creek corridor routinely require coordination with the Ninemile Creek remediation program. Subsurface investigation is commonly required before grading plans are finalized on plateau-edge parcels.
