Professional Demolition Services in Mathews
Mathews County is unlike almost anywhere else in Virginia. Nearly encircled by the Chesapeake Bay, Mobjack Bay, the Piankatank River, and a network of tidal rivers and creeks — the East River, the North River, Winter Harbor, Stutts Creek — it is a county that has always lived close to the water. That proximity brings with it an extraordinary natural setting and a recurring reality that Mathews residents know well: flood damage.
Mathews County is one of the most flood-affected counties in the Commonwealth. Repetitive loss properties — homes and structures that have been flooded multiple times — are common throughout the county’s waterfront communities. Structures damaged by hurricanes, nor’easters, and seasonal flooding are a regular feature of the local landscape. And when a structure has been compromised beyond practical repair, demolition is often the most responsible next step — clearing the way for a properly elevated rebuild, a clean lot sale, or a return of the land to a more manageable state.

We bring genuine waterfront and flood-site experience to every Mathews project, and we handle the full permit process through the Mathews County Building Official on your behalf, including any additional considerations that arise from the county’s extensive Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area and flood zone designations.

What Clients Say about our
Demolition Service in Mathews, VA
Mike is very capable of doing all your forestry needs. Cleared property for my garage and i’m very happy with the outcome
I recently hired M.L. Blake Earthworks to dig the foundation and pour concrete for my husbands shop, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise.
They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and truly paid attention to detail throughout the entire process. The foundation was dug precisely to specifications, and the concrete pouring was done flawlessly. The quality of their work is evident, and I have every confidence that my shop is built on a solid foundation.
I recently had M.L. Blake Earthworks install a driveway at my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs.
They took the time to understand what I wanted and offered valuable suggestions that improved the overall design. The quality of their work is outstanding; the driveway looks fantastic and has truly enhanced the curb appeal of my home. Will certainly use them again in the future!!
We have lived on a 20 acre heavily wooded piece of property for 27 years. We have wanted to open it up a bit for a long time. I have been monitoring ads for forestry mulching and contacted Mike Blake if M.L. Blake Earthworks. He responded quickly and came out and gave me an estimate for what I was looking to do. His estimate came in less than what I was expecting.
Mike came out this past week and forestry mulched about 2.5 to 3 acres in front of our home and our two side yards. The result exceeded my expectations and while we still have a forested lot, we now have a beautiful park like setting while preserving a buffer to the street and our neighbors. It was a four day effort.
I also had some logs left over from taking 6 trees down in my horse paddock. I thought I was going to be able to get rid of them as firewood for anyone who needed but had no takers. Mike offered to mulch them up at no separate charge.
Mike did an awesome job and we are extremely happy with our new park like setting. I highly recommend Mike and M.L. Earthworks if you have a similar project.
I’ve worked with Mike and his team for well over a year now, and can’t say enough good things about them. From all our clients new construction site work to some of clients needing minimal work done. Mike always has us covered. From anything from site work, lot clearing, pretty much anything from dirt to trees he has you covered!
I can’t say enough about M.L. Blake Earthworks. Michael and his crew went the extra mile every single day for me. They cleared off 3+ almost 4 acres at my property that was a complete mess, regraded a bad spot from the previous owner that was continuously washing out, and are currently helping with a concrete pad for my new shop. Great communication and definitely priced right and highly recommended them to everyone.
