Some concrete has simply reached the end of the line. Heaved panels, slabs broken into loose pieces, and patios that have dropped away from the house cannot be fixed with patching. Concrete removal clears the way for a fresh start.
In Naples, we remove concrete at homes, small farms, and commercial lots along US-40. We start with a Blue Stakes call, saw cut clean edges where the old slab meets concrete that stays, break the slab out with equipment sized to the job, and haul everything off. Then we grade and compact the base so it is ready for the next step. Basin does not pour new concrete, so once the site is prepped you bring in the concrete contractor you prefer for the new slab.
We work around Naples every week and know its mix of older lots, farm properties, and commercial slabs along the highway.
We bring saws, breakers, loaders, and trucks sized to your job, from a single sidewalk panel to a full shop pad.
If your concrete can still be repaired for less, we will tell you that before recommending a full tear out.
We haul away every piece of broken concrete and rebar, protect nearby surfaces, and leave the site raked and tidy.
Plenty of slabs can be repaired, and we always look at that option first. But some damage goes too deep. If a driveway has split into several chunks that rock when you drive over them, a patio has tilted toward the house and sends water at the foundation, or a sidewalk keeps heaving into worse trip hazards, more patching just buys a little time.
Concrete removal takes care of the problem at the root. It is often the step that makes way for a safer, flatter, better draining slab.
Before any concrete gets broken, we make sure buried lines are marked. Utah law requires a Blue Stakes call through 811 at least 3 business days before digging, and no more than 14 calendar days ahead. Locate tickets expire after 21 days, so the call has to line up with the schedule. Whoever does the digging makes the call, which means we take care of it on our jobs.
Gas lines, water service, power, and irrigation often run right under or alongside old driveways and walkways, especially on Naples properties where additions and outbuildings went in over the years.
No two removal jobs are quite the same. A few things affect how we approach the work and what it takes:
We look at all of this on site so the plan fits your property. On tight lots, smaller machines and more hand work may make sense. On open farm ground, bigger equipment can move a lot of concrete quickly.
Many jobs only remove part of the concrete, like a damaged section of driveway or a broken walkway panel. In those cases we saw cut a straight line where the old concrete will stay, so the edge is clean and square for whoever pours next. That keeps the remaining slab from chipping when the bad section breaks away.
For bigger projects where buildings, foundations, or both asphalt and concrete are coming out, our concrete and asphalt removal service covers larger hardscape tear outs across a whole lot.
Naples has plenty of bigger concrete too. Equipment pads at shops along US-40, old barn and feed slabs on small farms, and loading areas in the industrial parks are often thicker and more heavily reinforced than a home driveway. Those jobs take heavier breakers, more trucks, and careful planning around anything still in use.
Once a large area is opened up, the debris needs to go somewhere. We haul it off as part of the job, and for sites with a mix of broken concrete, block, and other leftovers, demolition debris removal can clear the rest.
The concrete is only half the story. What is left underneath decides how well the next slab will do. We remove any soft, wet, or organic material we find, shape the subgrade so water drains away from buildings, and compact it so the next pour sits on a firm base.
If you are replacing a driveway, our driveway prep service can take the base all the way to ready, including gravel and grading. From there, your concrete contractor can form and pour, and you avoid most of the settling and cracking that ruined the old slab in the first place.
Planning to replace a slab next to a building? Keep in mind that Uintah County requires footings at least 30 inches below grade, so your concrete contractor may want to look at the site before we finish the base. We are happy to coordinate so the ground is ready the way they need it.
We measure the slab, check thickness and access, look for buried lines, and talk through what is going in next.
Your free quote covers saw cutting, breakout, hauling, and subgrade prep, so you know exactly what is included.
After Blue Stakes marks lines, we saw cut, break out the slab, remove rebar, haul debris, and compact the base.
We walk the cleared site with you, confirm the grade and edges, and answer questions before your new pour.
