📞 Call (217) 809-0779 Free On-Site EstimateInheriting a farmstead or an old rural property is half blessing, half headache. The buildings are tired, the sheds are packed with decades of stuff, there's scrap and junk scattered across the lot, and the whole place has grown up in brush. Calling four different outfits — one to clean out, one to tear down, one to haul, one to grade — turns it into a part-time job you don't have time for.
Brohez Trucking LLC does the whole thing as one job. We clear out the buildings, tear down the barns, cribs, sheds, and outbuildings, haul off the scrap and debris, knock down the brush and fence rows, and grade the ground clean. One crew, one contractor, one straight number — from cluttered, grown-over eyesore to clean, workable dirt.
The Komatsu PC150LC-6 and the Cat D6N dozer handle the heavy teardown and the dirt work. The JCB mini and Takeuchi 259D3 get into tight farmsteads and around the buildings. Skid steers and tandem dump trucks haul the junk, scrap, lumber, tin, and concrete straight to the proper disposal site. The teardown side is our demolition and farm building demolition work; the cleanup side is land clearing, hauling, and grading. On an estate cleanout, it's all one pass.
A lot of folks who inherit a place live out of town and just want it handled. We can walk the property, send you a straight number, do the work while you're away, and send updates as we go. When you come back — or when the buyer shows up — the ground is clean dirt, ready to sell, farm, or build on.
Barns, cribs, and outbuildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old siding, roofing, or pipe wrap. It's common on old farmsteads and it's manageable — it just has to be handled the right way, not bulldozed and ignored.
When a building's old enough to warrant it, we coordinate the required inspection and the IEPA 10-day notification, and we don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Every inherited property is different. The basics don't change.
We walk the whole place — house, buildings, scrap piles, overgrowth — talk through what's staying and what's going, and give you a straight number. No pressure.
Most rural buildings don't need a permit. If yours does, we help sort it out, call utility locates, and arrange to kill any power, water, or gas still running to the property.
We empty the buildings and clear the lot. If there's old barn wood, beams, equipment, or metal you want kept, we pull it carefully before the teardown so it comes out usable.
The Komatsu and Cat dozer work each building down in a controlled sequence — barns, cribs, sheds, grain bins, even leaners. Nothing dropped toward the house, the road, or the fence line.
Junk, scrap metal, lumber, tin, concrete, and the foundations all get loaded onto tandem dumps. Metal separated for recycling, the rest to proper disposal. You rent no dumpsters.
We knock down the brush and fence rows, backfill the holes, grade the ground flat, and walk you through the finished property. Clean dirt — ready to sell, farm, build, or seed down.
An estate or farm cleanout bundles the whole job. Here's what rolls into one number.
Houses, barns, cribs, sheds, and outbuildings taken down clean, foundations broken out, the whole thing hauled off.
Corn cribs, hog barns, machine sheds, and pole barns torn down post by post and cleared off the farmstead.
Decades of stuff in the buildings, old machinery, and scrap piles across the lot loaded up and hauled away.
Lumber, tin, concrete, and demolition debris loaded onto tandem dumps and run to proper disposal — no dumpster rental.
Old grain bins and hopper bins on inherited farmsteads brought down safely, cut up, and hauled off with the scrap.
Brush, trees, and overgrowth that have swallowed the property knocked back so the acres come out workable.
Grown-up fence lines and tree rows cleared out so the boundaries are clean and the ground squares back up.
Holes backfilled, ground graded flat, and the whole property left as clean dirt — ready to sell, farm, or build.

Yes. Whole-property cleanouts are some of our favorite work. House, barns, cribs, sheds, grain bins, junk, scrap, and overgrowth — handled in one coordinated job by one crew. We clear it out, tear it down, haul off the scrap and debris, and grade the ground clean. One contractor, one number, start to finish.

We haul it off. Old machinery, scrap metal, junk piles, lumber, tin, and the debris from the teardown all go onto our tandem dump trucks and head to the proper disposal or recycling site. Metal gets separated out for recycling. You don't have to lift a thing or rent a dumpster.
Yes — that's the whole point. The cleanout and the teardown are one job. After we clear the contents, the Komatsu PC150LC and Cat D6N take down the barns, cribs, sheds, and outbuildings, break out the foundations, and we haul it all off. See our demolition and farm building demolition pages for how the teardown works.
Yes. Old farmsteads grow up thick. Once the buildings are down, the brush, tree lines, fence rows, and overgrowth usually need to go too. Our land clearing and fence row clearing roll right into the same job so the whole property comes out clean and workable in one pass.
We take them down. Old grain bins and hopper bins on inherited farmsteads get brought down safely, cut up, and hauled off with the rest of the scrap. See our grain bin removal page for details on how that part of the job is handled.

"We hired Levy for a large demo job and dirt removal. They showed up on time, worked hard, and completed the job faster than I expected. What impressed me most was how clean they left the site afterwards — no mess left behind."
"Great Service and Great Price! They continued working for 3 days to demolish three buildings and removed all the debris to dumpsters that I ordered. Then, they also came in with dirt to fill the whole backyard. Strongly recommended!"
