Clear Land for Your Next Build
Residential land clearing is the systematic excavation and removal of old buildings, concrete decks, retaining walls, and underground utilities to prepare a lot for ground-up construction.
RGD Concrete Services INC holds Contractors State License Board (CSLB) License #994700. You can verify this license directly with the CSLB. Founder Lupe Bañuelos leads a specialized team with over 40 years of hands-on structural experience across Sherwood Forest, Encino, and Malibu. Our crew works safely near power lines, gas mains, and busy streets.
We recycle steel, wood, and concrete. This cuts down on landfill waste. We sort metal from mixed trash on site, significantly reducing dump fees. Local recycling yards process our loads into new sustainable building materials.

We Get the Permit

Santa Monica Full Backyard Project
Dismantling a 1950s swimming pool requires diamond-blade perimeter cutting, structural gunite fracturing, pier foundation drilling, and engineered backfilling with soil compaction.
A homeowner in Santa Monica had an old 1950s house and swimming pool on its lot. Lupe Bañuelos and our specialized team used compact excavators and diamond-blade cutters to dismantle the heavy concrete shell without disturbing adjacent property boundaries.
The job took 50 days. We sorted concrete, metal, and other materials for 100% recycling compliance. We used a quiet truck to keep noise down and swept the sidewalk daily to prevent dust migration.

Video Transcript & Summary: "Welcome to RGD Concrete Services' featured Santa Monica demolition project. In this case study, Senior Contractor Lupe Bañuelos demonstrates step-by-step structural breaking of a 1950s concrete swimming pool and surrounding deck. Using compact diesel excavators, diamond concrete saws, and dust suppression misting, we demolished over 120 tons of reinforced gunite, hauled away all materials for certified local recycling, drilled foundational piers, and graded the site laser-flat in exactly 50 working days."
