Professional Site Clearing Services in Philadelphia, PA
When I started All Around Removal three decades ago here in Philadelphia, I never imagined I'd be clearing the same lots where I once played as a kid near Fairmount Park. Last month, we helped a young family in Fishtown clear their dream lot after years of saving – watching their faces light up when we finished the job reminded me why I love what we do.
Site clearing isn't just about moving dirt and debris. It's about transforming your vision into reality, whether you're building your first home in Northern Liberties, expanding your business in South Philly, or developing property anywhere across our great city. I've seen too many property owners get overwhelmed by the complexity of lot preparation, dealing with permits, underground utilities, and environmental considerations.
As Philadelphia's trusted site clearing contractor, we handle every aspect of your project from initial assessment to final grading. Our family-owned business has navigated the unique challenges of Philadelphia's varied terrain – from the rocky soil near the Schuylkill River to the dense urban lots in Center City. We understand local regulations, work seamlessly with city inspectors, and maintain relationships with utility companies that keep your project moving forward.
What sets us apart isn't just our three decades of experience – it's our commitment to treating every property like it belongs to our own family. When you're ready to transform your Philadelphia property, you'll work directly with local experts who know this city inside and out.

Understanding the value of your time, we offer flexible scheduling, including same-day and next-day services. Our efficient team arrives on time, ready to handle your junk removal or demolition needs swiftly and effectively, ensuring your space is cleared without delay.
Complete Lot Clearing Services
Our Philadelphia site clearing services handle everything from small residential lots to large commercial developments. We begin every project with a thorough site assessment, identifying underground utilities, analyzing soil conditions, and reviewing local permit requirements. Philadelphia's unique urban landscape presents challenges you won't find in suburban areas – narrow access points, neighboring property considerations, and strict city regulations.
Our clearing process includes vegetation removal, debris hauling, and proper disposal of all materials. We're equipped to handle Philadelphia's mature tree canopy, removing everything from small saplings to century-old oaks while protecting surrounding properties. All vegetation and debris are disposed of at certified facilities, ensuring compliance with Philadelphia's environmental regulations.
Land Grading and Site Preparation
Proper grading is crucial for Philadelphia properties, especially given our city's varied topography and drainage challenges. We provide precise grading services that account for Philadelphia's strict stormwater management requirements. Our experienced operators understand how to work with the city's clay-heavy soil conditions and ensure proper drainage to prevent basement flooding – a common concern for Philadelphia homeowners.
We handle rough grading for new construction, fine grading for landscaping projects, and specialized grading for driveways and parking areas. Every project includes soil compaction testing to meet Philadelphia building code requirements. Our team coordinates with city inspectors throughout the process, ensuring smooth approvals for your next construction phase.
Demolition and Debris Removal
As Philadelphia's trusted demolition contractor, we safely remove existing structures, concrete slabs, and foundation remnants. Our demolition services include careful planning to protect adjacent properties – essential in Philadelphia's densely populated neighborhoods where homes often sit just feet apart.
We handle everything from small shed demolitions in South Philadelphia to large commercial structure removal in the industrial corridor. Our team is experienced with Philadelphia's lead paint and asbestos regulations, ensuring safe handling of hazardous materials found in the city's older buildings. All debris is sorted, with recyclable materials diverted from landfills whenever possible.
Utility Coordination and Permit Support
Navigating Philadelphia's utility infrastructure requires local expertise and established relationships. We coordinate with PECO, Philadelphia Gas Works, and the Philadelphia Water Department to ensure safe clearing around existing utilities. Our team uses advanced locating equipment and follows Pennsylvania's PA 811 requirements for all excavation work.
We assist with permit applications through Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections, helping streamline the approval process for your site clearing project. Our three decades of experience working with city officials means we understand the requirements and can anticipate potential issues before they delay your project.
Environmental Compliance and Safety
Philadelphia's environmental regulations require careful attention to soil contamination, stormwater management, and proper waste disposal. We conduct preliminary soil assessments and coordinate with environmental consultants when needed. Our team is trained in handling contaminated soil – unfortunately common in Philadelphia's industrial areas.
We maintain comprehensive insurance coverage and follow strict safety protocols on every job site. Our operators are certified in equipment operation and hazardous material handling. Every project includes safety briefings and regular site inspections to ensure compliance with OSHA standards and Philadelphia safety requirements.
Three Decades of Philadelphia Site Clearing Excellence
Local Experience That Speaks for Itself
Over three decades, we've cleared sites across every Philadelphia neighborhood – from the tight rowhouse lots in Kensington to expansive commercial properties along Columbus Boulevard. Our project portfolio includes residential developments in Mount Airy, commercial expansions in University City, and industrial site preparation throughout the River Wards. This depth of local experience means we understand the unique challenges each Philadelphia neighborhood presents.
We've worked with three generations of Philadelphia families, often returning to clear additional properties for the same homeowners who trusted us decades ago. Our reputation in neighborhoods like Manayunk, Chestnut Hill, and Fishtown comes from consistent, reliable service that treats every property with the care it deserves.

Community Involvement and Local Recognition
As a family-owned Philadelphia business, we believe in giving back to the communities we serve. We've donated site clearing services for Habitat for Humanity projects in North Philadelphia and supported local youth baseball leagues by preparing fields in Fairmount Park. Our commitment extends beyond business – we're neighbors helping neighbors build stronger communities.
Our work has been recognized by the Philadelphia Building Industry Association, and we maintain preferred contractor status with several local banks and credit unions for their construction lending programs. These partnerships reflect the trust financial institutions place in our ability to complete projects on time and within budget.

Customer Success Stories from Across Philadelphia
Last year, we helped a small business owner in Port Richmond clear a contaminated lot that three other contractors had walked away from. Working closely with environmental consultants and city officials, we safely remediated the site and prepared it for their new automotive shop. Today, they employ eight local residents and serve as a cornerstone business in their community.
In Germantown, we cleared a challenging hillside lot for a young couple building their dream home. The steep grade and mature tree canopy required specialized equipment and careful planning to protect neighboring properties. Six months later, they sent us photos of their completed home with a heartfelt thank-you note about how we made their vision possible.
