Every slab reaches a point where fixing it stops paying off. Around Rangely, you’ll find driveways cracked into loose plates, sidewalks lifted by roots, and pads at shops and yards that have been run over by heavy trucks for decades. Patching them only buys a little time, and at some point the smart move is to take them out and start fresh with a clean base.
Concrete removal in Rangely is more than breaking things up. We cut straight lines where the old slab meets concrete you’re keeping, break it into manageable pieces, load and haul the debris, and leave the base clean and graded. Basin doesn’t pour new concrete, so once the old slab is gone, your concrete contractor can step in and get right to work.
We know Rangely slabs, from decades old driveways to thick oilfield pads, and how to take each one out without trouble.
Concrete saws, breakers, skid steers, and haul trucks let us cut, break, load, and remove slabs of nearly any size.
If your concrete can still be repaired, we'll say so, even if that means a smaller job for us.
We contain dust and rubble, haul it all away, and leave the base raked and the area swept clean.
Rangely has been a town since 1946, and plenty of the concrete around here dates back to the busy oil field years that followed. Some of it has held up well. Some of it has spent decades cracking, sinking, and flaking under hard winters, strong sun, and heavy trucks. When a slab is broken into chunks that rock underfoot, has dropped several inches, or is crumbling all the way through, repairs stop making sense.
Removal is also the right call when you’re changing how a space is used. A patio in the wrong spot, an old pad where you want a garden, or a sidewalk that needs to be rerouted can all come out cleanly. We’ll take out only what you want gone.
We start by saw cutting along any edge where old concrete meets something you want to keep, like a garage floor, a foundation, or a neighbor’s walk. A clean cut keeps cracks from running into the good concrete when we start breaking.
From there, we break the slab into pieces with the right equipment for the job, whether that’s a breaker on a skid steer or smaller tools near the house. Rebar and wire mesh get pulled out as we go, and everything is loaded for hauling. For bigger jobs that include asphalt or mixed paving, our concrete and asphalt removal service covers both.
Taking out a slab often means digging into the base below it, and gas, water, power, and communication lines can run closer to the surface than you’d expect. In Colorado, whoever digs makes the 811 call at least 2 full business days before work starts, not counting the day of the call. When our work goes below grade, we make that call.
That lead time is part of how we schedule. Rangely is at the east end of our service area, so we plan trips over the state line and build the 811 window into the timeline.
Oil field shops and yards often have thick, heavily reinforced pads, old equipment footings, and slabs stained with years of oil and fuel. Those take more cutting and breaking time and produce more rubble, and they may need special handling for disposal depending on what has soaked in.
We’ll walk the yard with you, look at the thickness and reinforcement where we can, and give you a clear plan for getting it out. Phasing the work can keep part of the yard open for trucks while we take out the rest. That way your crews and deliveries keep moving, and the yard never fully shuts down for the job.
Concrete removal is loud and dusty for a while, but it moves quickly once the equipment is on site. Here’s what we do to keep things under control:
Any leftover junk, old forms, or scrap from the site can go too with demolition debris removal.
Once the slab is gone, we rake the base and remove any loose material or chunks left behind. If you’re replacing the concrete, your contractor will want a firm, well drained base, and that’s where site work can help. Our driveway prep service shapes, compacts, and grades the subgrade so the new slab starts on solid ground.
If you’re turning the space into a yard or garden, we can grade it to drain away from your home. Either way, you get a clean site that’s ready for the next phase instead of a pile of broken concrete.
We measure the slab, check thickness and access, look for utilities, and note anything nearby that needs protecting.
Your free quote covers cutting, breaking, hauling, disposal, and any grading you want done once the concrete is gone.
After the 811 call clears, we saw cut, break out the slab, pull rebar, and haul every load away.
We walk the cleared site with you, confirm the base is ready, and talk through what comes next.
