Between the Mountains, South of Frederick
We're Digger Demolition, a demolition and site prep contractor based in Frederick. We serve Adamstown, about 10 miles southwest of the city. It sits in the valley between Sugarloaf Mountain and Catoctin Mountain, with Buckeystown Pike (Route 85) on one side and Point of Rocks about 5 miles to the southwest.
Adamstown started out around 1835 as Davis' Warehouse, built by a Quaker miller. In 1840 it took the name of Adam Kohlenburg, the first B&O railroad agent and postmaster. The tracks still run through, and so does a lot of history. A Civil War marker on Route 85 notes the fields here were once part of Carrollton Manor, among the first in Maryland planted mostly in wheat and corn instead of tobacco.
Today Adamstown is a mix. Subdivisions like Hill Manor, Saddle Ridge and Adamstown Commons have grown up since 2000. All around them are horse farms, open fields and businesses like former Lilypons Water Gardens on Lily Pons Road.
Built for the Hard Calls
Digger Demolition is a woman owned company founded in 2019, with family roots in the trade going back to 1941. Our Director of Field Operations has 46+ years of field experience, and our leadership has managed $1.5B+ in projects and completed 47 design build jobs.
We're known as the contractor's contractor. When a commercial teardown or tricky site lands on a GC's desk, we're the crew they call.

Rules That Shape an Adamstown Teardown
Asbestos Notice for Commercial Buildings
This is the step people miss most. The Maryland Department of the Environment requires written notice at least 10 working days before demolition of a regulated facility, even if no asbestos is found. Any asbestos has to be removed by a state licensed abatement company. We build that time into your schedule from day one.
Horse Farm Considerations
On equestrian properties, we keep machine noise and work zones away from paddocks wherever we can. We also talk through fence lines and gates with you before the crew arrives.
County Permits and Site Checks
| Step | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Building inspection | Older structures are checked for asbestos and lead |
| Utility disconnects | Power, gas and water shut off and confirmed |
| Miss Utility ticket | Filed in our company name, and farms aren't exempt |
| Private lines | Wells, septic and barn wiring found before we dig |
| Sediment control | Approval for bigger grading jobs |
Adamstown is unincorporated, so permits come from Frederick County.
