Driveway Removal done right
A driveway is usually the largest single piece of concrete on a residential lot, and it is the one your family and your neighbors drive over every day. Most homeowners want two things from a driveway removal: it should be fast, and the property should look better at the end of the day than it did that morning.
We saw-cut a clean line where your driveway meets the city approach or sidewalk, break out the old slab, separate the steel, and haul everything to a recycler. You are left with a level, compacted subgrade ready for your concrete or paver contractor — and we can coordinate the timing with them so your driveway is not out of service longer than necessary.
What’s included
- Measurement and thickness check at no cost
- Saw-cut at the street approach, sidewalk, garage slab or walkway
- Break-out of concrete or asphalt including thickened edges
- Rebar and mesh separation and recycling
- Haul-off of all material
- Subgrade leveled and ready for new driveway installation

What affects the price
Every estimate we write is based on measurements, not guesses. These are the factors that move the number most for driveway removal:
- Driveway size and thickness
- Concrete vs. asphalt, and whether there is old asphalt under concrete
- Rebar or wire mesh reinforcement
- Whether the city approach or sidewalk is part of the work (permit required)
- Access for a dump truck or bin
Driveway Removal in Orange County
In most Orange County cities the curb cut and approach in the public right-of-way belongs to the city, and replacing it requires an encroachment permit from the public works department. If your project includes the approach, we will tell you which city office handles it and what they typically require.

FAQ
Driveway Removal questions
How long does driveway removal take?
Most single-family driveways are removed in one to two days, depending on size, thickness and access.
Can I park on the street while the work is happening?
Usually yes, though we may ask for the curb in front of your driveway to be clear for the truck. We will confirm on the estimate visit.
Do I need a permit to remove my driveway?
Removing the private portion of a driveway generally does not need a demolition permit, but work in the city sidewalk or curb approach requires an encroachment permit. We will tell you which applies to your project.
Can you remove a driveway with pavers on top?
Yes. We remove pavers, sand bedding and any concrete or asphalt below them in one job.
