Our crew specializes in breaking down and hauling away old asphalt and concrete surfaces, leaving behind a clean, stable site that’s ready for new construction or paving. From residential driveways to large commercial parking lots, we have the equipment and experience to handle removal jobs of any size.
Removing old asphalt and concrete isn’t just about breaking it apart — it’s about preparing the ground for whatever comes next. A poorly removed surface can lead to drainage issues, unstable foundations, uneven paving, and costly delays for property owners and contractors. Our crew follows industry-leading practices to ensure every tear-out creates a smooth, compacted, construction-ready base, helping prevent problems long after the paving crew leaves.
We handle everything from the first cut to the final cleanup, giving homeowners, developers, HOAs, and municipalities peace of mind knowing the job is done right the first time.
