Common demolition projects
Driveway and approach tear out
Remove cracked, sunken, or oil-soaked slabs and street approaches. We protect curbs and utilities and stage haul trucks to keep the street open.
Patio and walkway removal
Clear old or uneven surfaces and tree root damage. We separate at steps and thresholds and prep for a new layout.
Garage and house slab sections
Targeted removal for failed panels, plumbing repairs, or remodel tie-ins. We cut clean edges and protect framing, walls, and posts.
Commercial flatwork and pads
Demo loading areas, dumpster pads, and damaged sections. We plan access routes so trucks do not disturb compacted subgrade you want to keep.
If the surface is sound but ugly, the Surface Repair and Overlays page shows options to refresh without full tear out.
Our demolition process
Plan
We meet on site, review the scope, flag utilities and keep zones, confirm access, and set a safety plan. You get a written scope and timeline.
Protect
We set barriers, plywood, or mats where needed. We shield nearby glass, mark edges to keep, and plan equipment paths that avoid irrigation and soft ground.
Demo and remove
We saw cut where needed, break concrete in controlled sections, separate steel, and load out debris. We keep the site organized and traffic moving.
Prep for the next step
We rough grade and compact disturbed areas, backfill edges, and leave the site ready for base work, forms, or inspection.
If weak soils show up during demo, we can add base, geogrid, or compaction steps before you rebuild.
Safety and environmental care
- Utility checks and careful digging near known lines
- Controlled drop zones and spotters during loading
- Dust control where practical
- Recycling of clean concrete where facilities allow
- Traffic and pedestrian safety in open sites
Permit needs vary by city and scope. We follow local rules and coordinate with your builder when permits or inspections are required.
What to expect
- Line item estimate with clear pricing
- Start date and daily updates from your project lead
- Respectful teams and a tidy job site
- Final walkthrough and clear next steps
FAQs
Can you demo only part of a slab
Yes. We saw cut clean lines, remove the bad section, and protect the area to keep. This is common for panel replacement or plumbing access.
Will demolition damage my yard
We plan access to minimize ruts and use mats where needed. We backfill and rough grade when we are done. If you want finish grading, we can include it.
Do you handle haul off
Yes. We remove concrete, steel, and debris and take it to the proper facility. Clean concrete is recycled where available.
How long does demolition take
Small tear outs can finish in a day. Driveways and patios are often one to two days depending on access and thickness. Commercial sections can take longer. We confirm timing before we start.
What affects cost
Access, slab thickness, reinforcement, saw cutting, haul distance, protection needs, and final grading. Your estimate shows each line so you can see where the cost comes from.
