In Central Wisconsin, old barns and sheds are part of the landscape—but they don't last forever. Whether it’s a timber-frame dairy barn that’s starting to lean, a collapsing machine shed, or a concrete silo that’s become a hazard, there comes a time when the structure needs to come down safely.
Here at A&C Excavating Equipment, we specialize in structural demolition and farm cleanup across Medford, Wausau, Marshfield, and Merrill. We don't just knock buildings down; we handle the entire process from the first safety check to the final grading, ensuring your land is clean, safe, and ready for whatever comes next.



An abandoned or rotting outbuilding isn't just an eyesore—it’s a major liability. Insurance companies often require the removal of dilapidated structures to maintain coverage, and a collapsing roof is a danger to kids, livestock, and equipment.
Demolishing a building—especially a tall barn or heavy silo—is not a DIY job. It requires the right heavy iron and experienced operators to bring the structure down efficiently without damaging nearby buildings or power lines. We bring the excavators, dump trucks, and expertise needed to remove the structure completely, including the concrete foundation and debris.
Our Demolition Services Include:
Barn Demolition: Safely dropping timber-frame, pole, and dairy barns of all sizes.
Silo Removal: Expertise in bringing down concrete stave and block silos without damaging adjacent structures.
Outbuilding & Shed Removal: Clearing old garages, machine sheds, corn cribs, and granaries.
Concrete & Foundation Removal: Breaking up and removing slabs, walls, and footings so you aren't hitting concrete with your plow later.
Debris Hauling & Site Cleanup: We separate metal for recycling and properly dispose of non-burnable debris.
Fire Cleanup: Clearing dangerous debris after a structure fire to prepare the site for rebuilding.
We are locally owned and understand the specific needs of Central Wisconsin landowners. We know that on a farm, you can't have nails, glass, or jagged concrete left behind in the dirt where tractor tires or livestock will be.
Unlike some crews that just "crunch and run," we take pride in our finish work. We focus heavily on site remediation—meaning once the building is gone, we excavate the foundation, fill the hole, and grade the site so it drains properly. When we leave, you’ll have a clean slate that can be returned to pasture, planted over, or used for a new building.

Demolishing a building in Central Wisconsin requires more than just a big machine. It requires understanding how these old timber-frame barns and concrete silos were built—and how they come apart. We know how to read a compromising structure to predict how it will fall, ensuring it stays within the drop zone and away from your home, power lines, or active livestock areas.
When you hire A&C Excavating Equipment, you aren't just getting a demolition crew; you're getting a partner who respects your land. We understand that a farm is a working environment. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily operations and take the extra time to ensure the ground is magnetically swept and graded smooth, so you don't find old nails in your tractor tires next spring.
Site Assessment: We evaluate the structure, identify hazards (power lines, nearby buildings), and determine the safest drop zone.
The Demolition: Using heavy excavators, we systematically dismantle the structure. We don't just push it over; we control the collapse to keep the debris pile manageable.
Material Sorting: We separate scrap metal (tin, steel beams) from wood and refuse to minimize landfill costs and maximize recycling.
Foundation Removal: We dig out the footings and break up the slab. If you have a basement, we can fill and compact it to prevent future sinking.
Final Grading: We spread topsoil and grade the area to match the surrounding terrain, ensuring no low spots hold water.
Don't let a dangerous barn or rotting shed create a headache for your property. Whether you are cleaning up a family farm or preparing a commercial site for development, we have the equipment to handle the job.
