About the Project
A homeowner in Western Springs needed a safe and compliant teardown of an older residential structure. Because the property sat in a dense neighborhood and required both Cook County and village approvals, Donegal handled all permitting, safety controls, and coordination.
The project included environmental protection, utility shutdowns, and full restoration to stable greenspace.
Key Project Stats
- Location: Western Springs, IL
- Scope: Demolition, fencing, utilities, permits, restoration
- Permits: Cook County + Village of Western Springs
- Final Condition: Clean, seeded greenspace
- Completion: Delivered on schedule
The Challenge
This residential teardown required careful coordination due to:
- Multiple permits from both the county and the village
- Tight access in a mature suburban neighborhood
- Utility disconnections need proper sequencing
- Protecting sidewalks, parkways, and adjacent homes
- Preventing runoff with proper silt control
Donegal managed it all with precision and professionalism.
Our Approach
1. Permitting & Pre-Construction Planning
We secured all necessary demolition permits from Western Springs and Cook County, coordinated utility shutoffs, and set up a full site safety plan
2. Erosion Control & Site Protection
Silt fencing was installed to prevent sediment runoff, and construction fencing secured the property.
3. Main Disconnects
Sewer, water, and other utilities were safely disconnected by licensed crews following village requirements.
4. Controlled Demolition
Donegal’s operators completed a safe and efficient demolition using modern machinery, dust control, and clean debris management.
5. Return to Green Space
After debris removal, the site was graded, stabilized, and restored with seed to produce clean, natural greenspace.
