Concrete Patio Removal
An old concrete patio can become cracked, uneven or unsuitable for a new landscaping plan. We can break apart and remove unwanted patio concrete so the area can be prepared for grass, gardens, pavers, decking or a replacement patio.
We carefully plan the demolition to reduce unnecessary damage to nearby fences, landscaping and structures.
Concrete Pad and Foundation Removal
Concrete pads are commonly found underneath sheds, hot tubs, greenhouses and other outdoor structures. After the structure has been removed, the slab may need to be demolished before the property can be reused or landscaped.
We remove many types of non-structural concrete pads and small foundations. The thickness, reinforcement, accessibility and proximity to buildings will determine the equipment and removal method required.
Walkway and Sidewalk Removal
Cracked or uneven concrete walkways can become unattractive and create potential tripping hazards. Trash B Gone can remove unwanted sections of residential walkways, garden paths and privately owned sidewalks.
Municipal sidewalks and concrete located on public property may require authorization from the appropriate city or authority before work can begin.
Driveway Concrete Removal
If you are replacing part or all of a concrete driveway, we can provide demolition, loading and hauling services. Driveway removal pricing depends on the total area, concrete thickness, reinforcement, equipment access and distance between the concrete and our truck.
Larger or heavily reinforced driveways may require specialized machinery and additional planning.
Reinforced Concrete and Rebar Removal
Some concrete contains steel mesh or rebar that makes demolition more difficult. Our team can cut, separate and haul reinforced concrete when the site conditions and project scope allow.
Please let us know if you know the concrete contains rebar, wire mesh or embedded structures so we can arrive with the appropriate tools and equipment.
Broken Concrete and Construction Debris Cleanup
Already demolished the concrete yourself? We can load and remove piles of broken concrete from renovations, landscaping projects and construction sites.
Concrete must be kept reasonably free of garbage, soil, drywall, insulation, asbestos-containing material and other contaminants if it is going to be transported as clean concrete. Mixed debris may be subject to different disposal requirements and additional charges.
Our Concrete Removal Process
1. Request a Free Quote
Send us photographs and a description of the concrete you need removed. Include approximate measurements and information about site access whenever possible.
2. Site Assessment
For larger or more complicated projects, we may arrange an on-site assessment. We will review the concrete thickness, reinforcement, access, nearby structures and potential hazards.
3. Demolition
Our crew uses appropriate tools and equipment to break the concrete into manageable sections while protecting the surrounding area as much as reasonably possible.
4. Loading and Hauling
We load the broken concrete and transport it to an appropriate disposal or recycling facility.
5. Final Cleanup
Once the concrete has been removed, we sweep and clean the immediate work area so it is ready for the next stage of your project.
What Affects Concrete Removal Pricing?
The cost of concrete removal depends on several factors, including:
- Total square footage
- Thickness of the concrete
- Whether rebar or wire mesh is present
- Accessibility for workers and equipment
- Distance from the concrete to the truck
- Proximity to buildings, fences and landscaping
- Whether excavation is required
- The amount and weight of the concrete
- Disposal or recycling fees
- Whether the concrete is mixed with soil or other debris
Photos and measurements can help us provide an initial estimate. Larger or more complex projects may require an on-site visit before a firm price can be confirmed.
Preparing for Concrete Removal
Before demolition begins, the property owner or contractor should identify any utilities, plumbing, drainage systems, electrical lines, gas lines or irrigation located beneath or near the concrete.
Utility disconnection, locating services, permits, engineering work, excavation, grading, soil removal and installation of replacement concrete are not included unless specifically stated in your written quote.
Concrete connected to a building’s structural foundation requires additional assessment and may need to be handled by a qualified structural contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you break up the concrete?
Yes. We can provide concrete demolition as well as loading, hauling and disposal. If the concrete has already been demolished, we can also provide debris pickup and removal.
Can you remove concrete containing rebar?
Yes, depending on the size and site conditions. Reinforced concrete generally requires additional labour, cutting and equipment, which can affect the price.
Do you remove concrete driveways?
Yes. We can remove small sections or complete concrete driveways, subject to accessibility, thickness, reinforcement and project size.
Do you recycle concrete?
Whenever practical and accepted by local facilities, concrete is transported to an appropriate recycling or disposal facility. Concrete contaminated with other materials may require different handling.
Can you remove a concrete shed or hot tub pad?
Yes. We commonly remove non-structural pads underneath sheds, hot tubs and other outdoor structures.
Do I need a permit?
Permit requirements depend on the location and scope of the project. Concrete connected to a structure, located near utilities or situated on public property may require permits or additional approvals. Property owners are responsible for confirming permit requirements unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Do you locate underground utilities?
No. Underground utilities and private services must be properly identified before demolition begins. Utility locating or disconnection should be completed by the appropriate qualified provider.
Do you provide excavation or grading afterward?
Concrete removal is generally limited to demolition, loading, hauling and basic cleanup. Excavation, backfilling, soil delivery, grading and landscaping can be discussed separately if required.
How quickly can you remove the concrete?
Scheduling depends on the project size, equipment requirements and current availability. Smaller projects may be completed in one visit, while larger jobs can require additional time.
How do I get a quote?
Send us photos of the concrete along with its approximate length, width and thickness. Please also include photos showing the access between the concrete and the nearest parking area.
