The Memorial Villages are heavily wooded ground just inside Beltway 8. Buffalo Bayou winds through them in its natural channel, Memorial Drive runs as a two-lane road under the trees through Hunters Creek, Piney Point and Bunker Hill, and Piney Point still carries the name of the “Pine Point” rise on a bend of the bayou. West of the villages, Houston’s Memorial neighborhood — Nottingham Forest, Memorial Bend, Westchester — was built into the same heavy woods in the 1950s.
Many of those 1950s homes are now reaching the end of their run, and the lots under them are worth far more than the houses. A Memorial Villages teardown is rarely just a house: there’s usually a pool, a long driveway, outbuildings, and mature trees that the village requires you to protect — or permit before removal. That’s where demolition contractors in the Memorial Villages earn their keep, taking down the structure, breaking out the pool and slab, and clearing brush and approved trees without damaging the canopy that stays.
Right On Time Demolition Team has served Houston since 2017. We handle residential teardowns, pool demolition, tree and brush clearing and full clean-outs in Bunker Hill, Hunters Creek, Piney Point, Hedwig Village and the City of Houston’s Memorial and Memorial City areas — and we work inside each village’s permit process, not around it.
Every service we offer is available in Bunker Hill, Hunters Creek, Piney Point, Hedwig Village and Houston’s Memorial neighborhood. On most village lots we combine several of them into one coordinated job.
Village teardowns come with a checklist. Bunker Hill inspects tree protection, stormwater protection and every utility disconnect before demolition starts. Hunters Creek won’t approve a demo permit until the demolition company has written permission from the city’s Urban Forester. Piney Point wants MVWA approval, a sewer-disconnect permit and stamped letters to your neighbors. We prepare for all of it, then take the house, slab, driveway and outbuildings down cleanly within the protected-tree zones.
Services include:
Large Memorial homes hold a lot of history — furniture, appliances, attic storage, garage workshops. We empty the house before the teardown or after a sale, and we haul construction debris for remodels. Because village construction rules govern dumpsters and site fencing (Hunters Creek, for example, requires containers to be emptied at least twice a week), we keep loads moving so your site stays compliant.
Services include:
Clearing here is surgical. Piney Point requires a permit for any live tree 3 inches or larger and a disposition plan signed by a degreed forester; Bunker Hill protects larger trees and requires 2-for-1 replacement; Hunters Creek charges $500 per inch for an illegal removal. We clear understory brush, approved trees, stumps, old fences and sheds — and only what’s on the approved plan — so the trees that stay are still healthy when your builder arrives.
Services include:
On larger wooded lots along Buffalo Bayou and in Houston’s Memorial neighborhood, forestry mulching clears thick understory and saplings without hauling and with less ground disturbance than pushing brush with a dozer. The mulch layer protects bare soil from washing toward the bayou during heavy rain. We keep equipment out of protected root zones — Piney Point, for example, limits impervious cover to 25% of a protected tree’s critical root zone.
Services include:
Pool removal rules vary village to village. Piney Point issues its own Pool Demolition permit and requires that all pool shells be removed — not just broken and buried — along with MVWA approval and a tree disposition plan. In Bunker Hill, pool water surface counts toward the 55% total lot coverage cap, so taking out a pool can matter for a new home’s design. We drain, demolish, haul and backfill to the standard each jurisdiction requires.
Services include:
Wooded lots along Buffalo Bayou. The villages sit on the bends of Buffalo Bayou, which runs here in its natural, unlined channel, with drainage like Soldiers Creek carrying water from Piney Point across Hedwig Rd to the bayou. Keeping sediment and debris out of those drainage paths matters, and Bunker Hill checks stormwater protection before demolition even begins. The May 2024 derecho and Hurricane Beryl left log piles to clear in Bunker Hill — we know how storm-damaged trees and brush need to be handled.
Roads and access. We reach the villages from I-10 and Beltway 8 and work along Memorial Dr, Woodway, San Felipe, Piney Point Rd, Voss and Gessner, and the residential streets off Bunker Hill Rd, Taylorcrest, Strey Ln and Kemwood Dr. Memorial Drive is two lanes through most of the villages, and schools like Kinkaid sit just off San Felipe, so we schedule hauling and equipment moves around school traffic and within each village’s permitted work hours.
The projects this area produces. West of the villages, the Memorial super neighborhood was built in the 1950s in heavy woods, Memorial City grew up along I-10 around its 1966 mall, and CityCentre now stands on the old Town & Country Mall site at Beltway 8. The common jobs are high-value teardowns: a mid-century home, its pool and deck, a long drive, and brush and approved trees cleared from a large lot so a builder can start.
Five permit offices, five rulebooks. Hunters Creek requires the Urban Forester’s written approval of the demolition company. Piney Point requires a forester-signed Tree Disposition Plan even when no trees come out. Bunker Hill wants 48-inch tree fencing at the drip line and a green construction fence around the site. Hedwig Village reviews every tree removal. Houston’s Memorial and Memorial City areas follow the City’s master-plumber disconnect process. We check the right packet before we quote.
Bunker Hill, Hunters Creek, Piney Point and Hedwig Village each run their own permit office. We prepare the tree protection, utility disconnects and paperwork each one requires, so you're ready for each inspection.
With replacement fees and per-inch penalties on the line, a careless operator can cost you thousands. We keep machines and materials out of fenced root zones and remove only what's on the approved plan.
Village work hours are strict and fines can reach $2,000 a day. We show up when we say we will and work only when the village allows.
Gary served 9.5 years in the U.S. Army and you deal directly with the owner. You get the owner's attention on a high-value lot.
Every estimate is free, pricing is fair and honest, and financing up to $200,000 with 0% APR options is available for qualified projects.
As demolition contractors in the Memorial Villages, we work in every village between I-10 and Buffalo Bayou and in Houston’s Memorial neighborhood west to Hwy 6. Nearby, we also serve:
Cost depends on the home’s size and construction, plus what comes out with it — pools, long driveways, outbuildings and trees. Village requirements add steps too, such as tree-protection fencing, construction fencing and utility disconnects through MVWA. We include those steps in a free, itemized estimate so there are no surprises when the permit is issued.
Hunters Creek requires a site plan, a tree survey and tree disposition plan, disconnects through the Memorial Villages Water Authority, a CenterPoint gas letter and photos of the cut electric lines. The demolition company must also receive written permission from the city’s Urban Forester before the permit is approved, and tree protection is required during demolition even when no trees are being removed. We handle that coordination for you.
Not by breaking it and burying it. Piney Point issues a dedicated Pool Demolition permit, and its application states that all pool shells must be removed. The permit also needs MVWA approval and a tree disposition plan. We remove the full shell, haul it off and backfill the hole properly.
Usually, yes. Piney Point requires a permit for any live tree 3 inches or larger and a disposition plan signed by a degreed forester. Bunker Hill issues tree permits at no cost but protects larger trees and requires 2-for-1 replacement. We clear only trees shown on your approved plan and keep protection fencing in place around the rest.
Often, yes. A mulcher grinds brush and saplings in place, so there’s no burn pile and no hauling, and the mulch layer protects bare ground near Buffalo Bayou from washing away. It handles trees up to about 6–8 inches in one pass — but in Piney Point, any tree 3 inches or larger needs a permit first. It doesn’t grade or pull root balls, so we’ll tell you at the estimate if your builder needs more.
Permitting usually sets the pace: tree surveys, disposition plans, utility disconnects and pre-demolition inspections have to be in place first, and commercial or multi-unit demolitions also need a Texas DSHS notice 10 working days ahead. Once cleared, the on-site work depends on the house, the pool and the trees involved, and it happens only during each village’s permitted work hours. Gary will give you a schedule at the estimate.
Whether your lot is on Memorial Drive in Hunters Creek, off Taylorcrest in Bunker Hill or near Kinkaid in Piney Point, Right On Time Demolition Team is ready to clear the way — by the village’s rules. Estimates are always free, and we serve every village plus Houston’s Memorial and Memorial City areas.
