Demolition Services in Garden City

Garden City has a mix nobody else in the valley quite has: older mobile home parks and small houses along Chinden, sitting right next to industrial buildings turning into breweries, studios and riverfront townhomes near the Waterfront District. That mix shows up in the demolition calls we get here. Sheds and mobile homes on older lots, decks and concrete on homes near the Greenbelt, pool shells on properties being redone for something new.

Mobile home removal works differently than tearing down a shed. Garden City requires its own Manufactured Home Removal/Demo Permit separate from a standard demolition permit, and it comes with an erosion control inspection and capping the plumbing lines through the state plumbing board before the home can come off the lot. If the property sits in the floodplain along the Boise River, which covers a good chunk of the city, that gets reviewed too.

Smaller structures still need paperwork. Garden City's code requires a demolition permit for removing any building structure or doing land-disturbing work, along with a general erosion and sediment control application. That applies whether it's a shed, a deck, a pool, or a slab of concrete coming out - the permit and the erosion control piece go together.

Access and disposal matter as much as the permit. A deck tear-out on a tight riverside lot takes more care than one with room to swing equipment. Pool demolition means breaking up the shell and dealing with what's underneath, and the right approach depends on the pool and the yard around it. If a dumpster needs to sit in the street while the work happens, that's Ada County Highway District right-of-way, not the city, and it needs its own permit.

Debris from any of this heads to the Ada County Landfill at Hidden Hollow, just north of Garden City off Glenwood and Hill Road to Seamans Gulch, or the Boise Transfer Station for smaller loads. Clean concrete, wood and scrap metal are handled differently than treated or painted wood. Top Shelf handles the permit homework, the hauling and the disposal, with a free on-site estimate and a firm price before anything comes down.
