From old barns and sheds to concrete slabs, Hilliland Contracting removes structures quickly, safely, and responsibly — helping farm, ranch, and residential properties move forward with confidence.
Some structures have done their time. Old barns that are too far gone to repair, sheds and outbuildings that are no longer useful, concrete slabs from structures that have already been removed, collapsing fences — these are things that need to come down safely before a property can move forward.
Hilliland Contracting handles demolition work for farm, ranch, and residential property owners within approximately 50 miles of Seguin. We bring the right equipment to take structures down efficiently and safely, and we address debris and material removal as part of the scope of work.
Demolition is often one piece of a broader site project. You might need a structure torn down before clearing the land for a new building, or you might need a concrete slab broken up and removed as part of a site preparation job. Because we also handle land clearing and land management, we can often take care of the demolition and the next phase of the project without you needing to coordinate multiple contractors.
If you have a project where demolition is only part of what needs to happen, let us know the full scope when you reach out. In many cases we can handle the whole thing.
We offer free estimates on every job. There is no pressure and no guesswork — just an honest look at what your project requires and what it will take to get it done.

We start with a free estimate, which includes looking at the structure, assessing what it is built of, understanding what utilities or hazards may be present, and determining the safest and most efficient approach for removal. We discuss debris disposal during the estimate so there are no questions about what happens to the material after the structure comes down.
We handle demolition projects throughout the Seguin area and the surrounding region — including New Braunfels, Luling, Gonzales, Lockhart, San Marcos, Cibolo, Schertz, and the rural property stretching across Guadalupe, Caldwell, Hays, Gonzales, and Wilson counties. Old barns, outbuildings, and deteriorating structures are a common feature on ranch and farm land across this part of Texas, and bringing them down safely and efficiently is work we do regularly.
Whether the structure is near Seguin’s downtown area on the Guadalupe River or on a back pasture near Luling or Cuero, our approach is the same — come out, assess the structure and the site, and give you a clear picture of what the work involves before anything is scheduled.
Demolition almost always connects to other work on the property. In most cases there is something to be done before the structure comes down, and something to be done with the site afterward. We can handle more of that scope than just the demolition itself.
Before demolition, the area around the structure sometimes needs to be cleared — especially when overgrown brush or trees have grown up around an old barn or outbuilding that has not been in regular use. Our Land Clearing service handles that vegetation removal, and our Forestry Mulching service is often the cleanest way to clear dense brush right up to and around a structure without causing additional site disturbance.
After the structure is down, the site may need to be graded and stabilized. Exposed soil where a building stood is vulnerable to erosion, particularly if the area sits on a slope or in a drainage path — common on the kind of varied terrain we work across in Guadalupe County and the Hill Country fringe. Our Erosion Control service addresses that, whether it is a simple stabilization job or something more involved.
If access to the demolition site is a problem — no road in, a washed-out track, or heavy equipment that needs a clear route — our Durable Rural Driveways & Culverts service can establish or restore access as part of the same project scope, so you are not waiting on a separate crew before the demolition work can even begin.
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction and by the type and size of the structure. In some rural areas of Texas, permits are not required for certain types of demolition, but it depends on your county and whether utilities are involved. We recommend checking with your local county or city office before scheduling work. We do not pull permits, but we can flag potential considerations when we come out for the estimate.
Utility lines need to be properly disconnected and cleared before any structure comes down. We will identify utility concerns during the estimate visit. It is typically the property owner’s responsibility to coordinate disconnection with the relevant utility providers before demolition begins, and we will let you know what needs to happen on that end before we schedule the work.
We discuss debris handling during the estimate. The approach depends on the type and volume of material, whether any of it can be salvaged, and your preferences for how the site should look when we are done. We will be clear about what is included in the job scope before we start.
Yes. Concrete slab removal is something we handle, whether it is a standalone job or part of a larger site project. Slab thickness, size, and reinforcement all affect the scope and cost, which we will assess during the estimate.
A small outbuilding or shed can often be demolished in a day. Larger structures — big barns, multiple buildings, structures with significant concrete — take longer. We give you a time estimate along with the cost estimate so you know what to plan for.
