Demolition and Site Work for a Growing Urbana
We're Digger Demolition, a demolition contractor based in Frederick. We serve Urbana, a short drive south on Interstate 270 to Exit 26. Urbana sits in southern Frederick County, where Route 80 (Fingerboard Road) crosses Route 355 (Urbana Pike).
You know the landmarks. There's the Villages of Urbana and the Urbana Regional Library on Amelung Street. Urbana District Park sits off Route 355 near Lew Wallace Street, and Sugarloaf Mountain rises to the south.
This area keeps growing, and that's why people call us. Farm fields and wooded lots are becoming new homes. Old farmhouses and barns still stand on bigger rural lots. And commercial land near the Urbana Corporate Center, at Interstate 270 and Route 80, keeps getting reworked.
Who We Are
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 brings 46+ years of field experience. Our leadership has managed $1.5B+ in projects, including the Carroll Creek Flood Control Project in downtown Frederick.
Other crews call us "the contractor's contractor." We take the jobs that are too tight, too technical or too risky for them, and we do them safely.

What to Know Before Demolition in Urbana
Permits
Urbana isn't inside Frederick City limits, so permits come from Frederick County Permits and Inspections, not the city. A demolition permit usually means review approvals, utility disconnects and inspections. Jobs that move a lot of soil may also need erosion and sediment control approval. We coordinate with the county for you.
Utility Marking
Maryland's Miss Utility law requires a call to 811 at least two full business days before digging, not counting weekends or holidays. Near marked lines, digging has to be done by hand within 18 inches. Miss Utility marks public lines only. Private lines like wells, septic systems and buried yard wiring usually aren't marked, so we find those before any machine digs.
Environmental Checks
| Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Asbestos and lead | Older buildings get tested before demolition. If we find them, licensed abatement pros remove them under Maryland rules. |
| Stormwater and erosion | Silt control keeps mud out of streets and streams during and after the job. |
| Recycling | We sort concrete, metal and wood so less ends up in a landfill. |
| Wet ground | Local clay holds water, so we plan grading around the weather. |
