Serving Brentwood · Los Angeles County

One Operator for Brentwood Demolition and Dirt Work

Brentwood sits on the Westside of Los Angeles, between the 405 and the Santa Monica city line. The 90049 ZIP runs from Wilshire Boulevard north into the canyons below Mulholland Drive. This is Brentwood in the City of Los Angeles. It is not the town by the same name in Contra Costa County. South of Sunset Boulevard the lots are mostly flat. North of Sunset the ground climbs into ridges and canyons fast. We work both halves of Brentwood. San Vicente carries most of the traffic in, past the coral tree median. From there the canyon streets run up into Kenter and Mandeville. Every job here answers to the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, or LADBS. Southwest Hauling has run demolition and hauling out of Los Angeles since 1994.

Greg started Southwest Hauling in 1994 and still runs the jobs himself. We hold California license #792182, and three crews run out of our South Bay truck yard. In 90049 we take on house demolition and strip kitchens and baths in interior demolition. On sloped yards we handle rough grading and haul the spoil off the site. Our skid steers load the trucks, so a small crew can move a big pile fast.

Backyard Lot Work and Rough Grading in Brentwood

Brentwood is built out, so a new house here almost always starts with a teardown. The demolition and the hauling come first, before any framing. Older homes in 90049 often sit on pads that were cut decades ago. Those pads settle, and few of them still read level.

On a recent backyard project in Brentwood, the yard sloped hard from one side to the other. Our lot cleanup crew stripped it first, then cut about two feet off the high side. Rough grading brought the whole pad down to level. That let an adjacent lot tie into the main property as one usable yard.

Canyon Access and LADBS Permits in Brentwood

North of Sunset the streets get narrow and steep. Mandeville Canyon Road runs miles up a dead end, with one way in and one way out. We size the truck to the street, so a tight canyon lot may take more trips with lighter loads. Hillside Brentwood also sits in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so cleared brush has to leave the site.

LADBS issues every demolition and grading permit in Brentwood. For 20 years we have held City of Los Angeles contracts to clear out vacant and foreclosed property. Hillside grading over 1,000 cubic yards needs haul route approval from the Board of Building and Safety Commissioners. Check your own conditions with LADBS, then call us at 310-546-4855 to plan the haul.

Brentwood FAQ

Questions From Brentwood Property Owners

A few of the questions we hear most around Brentwood. Don't see yours? Call us and ask.

Call (310) 546-4855

What drives the cost of a demolition or hauling job in Brentwood?
Volume is the biggest driver, since debris is priced by how many truckloads leave your lot. Concrete and dirt weigh far more than framing lumber, so heavy material costs more to move. Access matters in Brentwood too. A narrow canyon street may need smaller trucks and more trips than a flat lot near San Vicente.
Do I need a permit to demolish a house in Brentwood?
Yes. LADBS issues demolition permits for Brentwood, since 90049 is inside the City of Los Angeles. If the original building permit is more than 45 years old, LADBS notifies abutting owners. The permit then waits 30 days. Hillside grading carries its own permit and haul route rules. Check your address with LADBS.
Can your trucks reach the narrow canyon streets in Brentwood?
Usually, yes. We match equipment to the street width and the driveway grade. A tight Brentwood lot may get a smaller truck and more runs. Our skid steers load from spots a full size machine cannot reach. Estate work here is often under an NDA, and we keep it quiet. Call 310-546-4855 for a free estimate.
