Cost Drivers

Equipment for Concrete Demolition

Backwell brings:

For larger commercial concrete demolition, we coordinate specialty cutting subs (wire saw, slab saw, concrete grinding) when scope requires precision cutting we don't self-perform.

Concrete Recycling

Clean concrete is recycled at licensed concrete recycling facilities — crushed for use as base material on roads, parking lots, and other construction. Recycling typically reduces disposal cost vs. dumping concrete in C&D landfills, which we pass through to homeowners as cost savings.

Mixed concrete (with metal, painted, or contaminated) goes to mixed C&D disposal at higher cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to remove a concrete driveway?

$3–$8 per square foot for typical residential driveways. A 600 sf driveway runs $1,800–$4,800.

Can you remove just part of a concrete pad?

Yes. Saw-cut to define the removal area, break and haul the section, leaving the remaining concrete intact. Useful for partial driveway replacements or expansion projects.

What about really thick or reinforced commercial concrete?

Yes. Equipment pads, factory floors, structural slabs with heavy rebar — all in scope. Cost scales with thickness and reinforcement.

Do you handle the disposal?

Yes. Loading, hauling, and disposal/recycling at licensed facilities included in standard scope.

Can the old concrete be recycled and reused?

Yes. Clean concrete is recycled into base aggregate at concrete recycling facilities. Where the project budget supports it, we can return crushed concrete to the property for use as base under new pavement.

How long does concrete demolition take?

Typical residential driveway: 1 day. Patio: half-day to 1 day. Pool deck: 1–2 days. Commercial slab: project-specific.
