Decades of experience,
protecting your land

Blackline Dirt & Demo was founded by a retired Los Angeles County Fire Department Battalion Chief with more than 35 years of emergency response and wildfire experience. After decades on the front lines of some of Southern California's most destructive fires, our founder saw the same pattern repeat itself: properties that were not properly prepared before a fire started were the ones that suffered most. That experience led directly to the creation of Blackline Dirt & Demo — a company built not to respond after disaster, but to help property owners reduce risk before it arrives.

We operate as an owner-operated LLC, which means our founder is personally on every job. There is no crew sent ahead while the owner stays in the office. When you hire Blackline Dirt & Demo, you work directly with the person who built this company — someone who spent a career making high-stakes decisions under pressure and who brings that same standard of care to every property we touch.

Our equipment reflects that commitment to quality. We run a modern Caterpillar 255 XPS High-Flow Compact Track Loader paired with specialized attachments. That combination lets us handle a wide range of work efficiently and with minimal disturbance to your land. Many projects that would typically require multiple contractors can be completed by our single, capable setup.

We provide land clearing, forestry mulching, fire defensible space clearing, weed abatement, grading, rough grading, finish grading, building pad preparation, pool excavation, road maintenance, driveway demolition and replacement, material hauling and spreading, rock and boulder removal, demolition cleanup, snow removal, HOA common area maintenance, vineyard and orchard clearing, and horse property maintenance. Whether you have received a weed abatement notice, are preparing a site for new construction, or need to reduce wildfire fuel load around your home, we have the equipment and experience to get the work done right.

We serve property owners across a wide stretch of Southern California, including Canyon Lake, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Temecula, Perris, Corona, Norco, Riverside, Fallbrook, Hemet, Escondido, Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Bernardo, Anaheim Hills, San Diego, and surrounding areas in Orange County and San Bernardino County. If your property falls within our service region, we want to hear from you.

Wildfire prevention is not a seasonal task. Defensible space, fuel reduction, and proper vegetation management are year-round responsibilities — and the window to prepare is often shorter than people expect. Our founder spent 35 years watching fires move through unprepared properties. That knowledge shapes every recommendation we make and every project we take on. We will tell you honestly what your property needs and what it does not.

Call us today at (949) 678-6100 or email scott@blacklinedirtanddemo.com to request your free estimate. We are available Monday through Saturday and ready to help you protect and improve your land.

We found Blackline on Facebook and they had great reviews. We have used many other companies over the last several years and none have compared to Blackline. Scott(owner) did everything we asked plus a lot more. Definitely exceeded or expectations and we are so glad we found him. Everything was completed with safety in mind (had a dedicated fire watch person during the entire job) We will definitely be recommending him to our family and neighbors.

DAVID WEIS Google review · August 2026

We had Scott from Blackline Operations LLC (Blackline Dirt and Demo) come out today, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. He spent a significant amount of time walking our entire property, making sure he fully understood my mother's situation before making any recommendations. My mother has a fairly large fire risk around her home, but she also has a limited budget. Scott took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. He walked us through what he could and couldn't do, what we should and shouldn't do, and why. At no point did we feel pressured—just educated and informed. What really stood out was how genuine and caring he was. It felt less like hiring a contractor and more like having a knowledgeable family member come over to help us figure out the best solution. He was honest, fair, respectful, and truly had my mother's best interests at heart. Scott helped us in more ways than one by giving us valuable guidance on managing and improving my mother's property. It's rare to find someone with this level of integrity and customer service. I highly recommend Blackline Dirt and Demo to anyone looking for honest advice, excellent service, and fair pricing.

Angie Google review · July 2026

Scott over at black line operations dirt and demo has had amazing reviews from the customers who we routinely do business with and talk about his work product with me when they come back in for materials. Costumers often say he’s on time he’s one of our best companies we’ve worked with. He’s friendly and always offering to support our company customers. I highly recommend Scott the owner for weed anbatement, material hauling annd land clearing and in the Perris Corona lake Elsinore Temecula areas he has been Fantastic as a referral. If your looking for someone who’s honest reliable and on time and by the way a really nice man. Call Scotty the owner. You will be glad you did.
