Some concrete is past fixing. When a driveway has broken into loose pieces, a patio has sunk toward the house, or a farm pad is crumbling under equipment, patching just delays the inevitable. Removing it the right way protects the lawn, fences, and buildings around it, and it sets up the next project on solid, well drained ground.
Our concrete removal service in Myton covers the whole job: planning access, breaking the slab into manageable pieces, pulling rebar and mesh, loading and hauling everything away, and leaving the subgrade smooth. We don’t pour new concrete, so once the old slab is gone, you’re free to hire whichever concrete contractor you like. Our job is to hand that crew a clean, level site.
We plan around Myton's irrigation ditches, farm access lanes, and frozen winter ground so trucks and equipment get in and out cleanly.
Skid steers with breakers, excavators, saws, and dump trucks let us handle a small walk or a thick shop pad.
If your slab can still be repaired, we'll say so before recommending removal, even though removal is the bigger job.
We haul every piece of concrete and steel, sweep nearby paving, and leave the work area graded and neat.
We’ll always tell you if a slab can be saved, but there’s a point where repairs stop paying off. Around Myton, the most common reasons people call for concrete removal are driveways broken into rocking sections, patios that tipped toward the foundation, walks lifted by tree roots, and old pads left behind from sheds, tanks, or outbuildings that are long gone.
Where roots did the lifting, pulling the stumps and roots keeps the same problem from heaving the next slab. Russian olive along ditches is a frequent culprit.
Some of these slabs have been around a long time. Myton’s townsite was surveyed in 1905, and older lots can have layers of concrete from different eras, sometimes poured on top of each other. We check thickness and look for buried surprises before we start so the plan matches what’s really there.
Breaking concrete often means digging into the base below it, and buried lines can run right under a driveway or patio. In Utah, whoever is doing the digging calls Blue Stakes. The call has to be made at least 3 business days before work starts and no more than 14 calendar days ahead, and the ticket expires after 21 days.
When we’re the ones digging, we make that call. Marked utilities only cover public lines, so we’ll also ask you about private lines like sprinkler mains, power to a shop, or lines to a well or septic tank.
Every slab is different, but the process stays consistent:
Residential jobs in town tend to be driveways, walks, and patios, where the big concerns are protecting lawns, fences, and the house itself. Out on farm ground along the river, it’s more often thick shop pads, old feed slabs, and equipment aprons. Those can run deeper and carry heavier steel, so they take more breaking time and bigger loads to haul.
For larger jobs that also involve asphalt or full structures, combined concrete and asphalt breakout handles both in a single mobilization. That way one crew, one set of trucks, and one trip covers everything on the list.
Myton is a long way out on our route, so we plan removal jobs carefully. That means scheduling the breaker, loader, and haul trucks together, timing the Blue Stakes call, and confirming access before the trip. Gates, overhead lines, and soft ground near irrigation ditches all affect how equipment gets in. A few photos of the slab and the route to it help us bring the right size machine the first time.
Removal can happen most of the year, though frozen ground in the dead of winter makes cleanup and grading harder. Late winter and early spring are popular, since it leaves the site ready for a concrete contractor once pouring weather arrives.
Once the slab is gone, what’s underneath matters. We clean out loose base, check for soft or wet spots, and grade the area so it drains away from buildings. If you’re planning new concrete or asphalt, driveway base and subgrade prep builds the compacted foundation the next surface needs.
Duchesne County’s frost depth is 30 inches, which matters if your next project includes footings or posts. Your concrete contractor will handle those details, and we’re happy to coordinate so the site is set up the way they want it when they arrive.
We measure the slab, check thickness and access, and ask about private lines, sprinklers, and what you plan to build next.
Your free quote covers breaking, hauling, saw cuts, and grading, along with the date we'll plan our trip to Myton.
We call Blue Stakes, saw cut keep lines, break and haul the concrete, and rough grade the ground underneath.
We walk the cleared area with you, confirm drainage and edges, and make sure it's ready for the next crew.
