Country Lots, Old Barns and Room to Build
We're Digger Demolition, a demolition and site work contractor based in Frederick. We serve Ijamsville and nearby rural properties in Frederick County. Local roads include Ijamsville Road, Mussetter Road, Green Valley Road and Prices Distillery Road, connecting farms, established homes and newer residential areas.
Ijamsville has a lot of history packed into a small place. The Ijamsville United Methodist Church has stood since 1858. The old B&O Railroad once stopped here, and slate dug from local quarries ended up on roofs in Frederick and beyond. These days you'll also find Whiskey Creek Golf Club, Green Meadows Farm and Friends Meeting School on Green Valley Road.
Rural properties around Ijamsville can include older barns, detached outbuildings and wooded acreage that need clearing or preparation for new construction. Owners call us to take down worn out barns and sheds, clear wooded acreage for a new home, or tear down an old farmhouse and start over.
Meet Digger Demolition
We're a woman owned company founded in 2019, with family roots in the trade. Our Director of Field Operations brings more than 46 years of field experience, and our leadership team has managed more than $1.5 billion in projects.
GCs call us when a job gets too technical or too risky for their own crew. That same care goes into a single barn teardown on a quiet Ijamsville road.

How We Keep Sites Safe
We're licensed, bonded and insured, and we work to OSHA standards. Our safety record has earned industry awards. On a rural job, that means a tight work zone, a crew that knows every machine, and nobody wandering near the swing of an excavator.
Our Ijamsville Service Area
We work on farms, estates and newer homesites all across the 21754 area.
Some of these roads are narrow, with tight turns and low trees. We scout the route before we bring in a lowboy so our trucks don't scrape a mailbox or block a farm lane. You can find Digger Demolition on Google Maps.

Planning a Rural Teardown in Ijamsville
Permits
Ijamsville is unincorporated, so permits go through Frederick County, not the City of Frederick. Most demolition permits involve review approvals, utility shutoffs and final inspections. Bigger clearing or grading jobs may also need erosion and sediment control approval. We work with the county for you.
Marking Utilities
Miss Utility asks for a locate request no sooner than 3 and no later than 12 business days before work starts. Digging can't start until every utility has responded. Maryland also requires the contractor to hold its own ticket. Miss Utility doesn't mark private lines like wells, septic systems or sprinkler lines, so those get located separately on rural lots.
Ground and Building Checks
| Check | What It Means on Your Property |
|---|---|
| Rock in the ground | Ijamsville has a slate quarry history, so hitting hard rock isn't unusual. We bring hydraulic hammers when the dirt turns to stone. |
| Asbestos and lead | Old farmhouses and barns get tested first. If we find hazards, licensed abatement pros handle removal under Maryland rules. |
| Wells and septic | We locate and protect them before any machine moves. |
| Streams and runoff | Silt fence and stabilization keep soil out of creeks and off the road. |
