About Lucas
Lucas zones for space and always has. Most residential districts require one to two acres per lot — an acre minimum in R1, two in R2 — and a lot of properties are set up for horses. The result is wide spacing, big setbacks, and a genuinely rural feel fifteen minutes from our shop.
Like Fairview, that means the jobs out here are bigger and more structural than a typical suburban call.
What comes up in Lucas
Barns, run-in sheds, tack rooms, workshops, pergolas, decks, and old fence lines — this is light demolition country, and we handle the tear-out and the haul-off on the same visit. That's the whole reason to call one outfit instead of two.
Acreage also generates the brush side of the work: limbs after a storm, cleared undergrowth, downed fencing, and scrap metal piles. And when a place changes hands, clearing decades of accumulated equipment out of the outbuildings is usually the first thing that has to happen.
How does light demolition work in Lucas?
Most Lucas calls involve a structure. A leaning run-in shed, a tack room nobody uses, a weathered deck or a pergola past saving.
We take it apart, load every board and panel, and haul it off the same visit. Our light demolition services cover the range, with more on deck removal and shed teardown.
Nothing structural, and nothing needing an engineer or heavy equipment. Each teardown is quoted per job after we've looked at it, and photos by text get that started.
Does Lucas require a demolition permit?
Lucas requires a separate permit for demolition, according to the city's building permits page. The same page requires a building permit for accessory buildings over 200 square feet.
Whoever runs the project, usually the general contractor or the homeowner, normally pulls the permit. If it's needed and nobody else is pulling it, we can usually do it for an added fee that varies by city.
What does Lucas trash service pick up?
CWD collects 2 cubic yards of bulky waste or unbundled brush each week, per Lucas's trash and recycling page. Items and limbs must be 150 pounds or less, and loose limbs 6 feet or shorter.
Bundled brush has no limit, as long as bundles stay within 4 by 2 feet and 50 pounds. Anything beyond that is a paid special collection, quoted by the cubic yard.
For chemicals, Lucas offers door-side household hazardous waste pickup twice a year with 10 business days' notice.
When is it worth hiring a hauler in Lucas?
Two cubic yards a week won't move a dismantled deck or a shed's worth of siding. Teardown debris is better loaded straight onto our trailer as it comes apart.
Outbuilding clear-outs are another reason. When a property sells, the shop and storage buildings usually need emptying first, and our estate cleanouts handle that.
Storm limbs round it out. We haul brush and limbs without bundling, though a big clearing job may need rented equipment and gets scheduled ahead.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars An honest and transparent company to work with. I had a rather unusual task of reorganizing my shop and tooling, as well as moving debris and junk in the process. I plan on doing business again with these guys real soon.
