Driveway, slab, and foundation removal along with excavation work to prep your Bronx lot for what comes next.
Concrete removal covers breaking out and hauling away driveways, patios, walkways, foundations, and slabs that are cracked, sinking, or in the way of a new project. Excavation covers digging and grading, whether that is preparing a footprint for a new foundation, correcting drainage, or clearing a lot after a demolition. As demolition contractors, we handle both on their own or as part of a larger building or interior demolition project across the Bronx.
Every concrete removal and excavation job starts with a look at what is underneath and around the work area. Utility lines, property lines, and soil conditions all affect how a slab comes out or how deep we can safely dig, so that assessment happens before equipment ever touches the site.
Here is what demolition contractors typically walk you through for a concrete removal or excavation project:
We confirm the scope of work and call for utility locates before any equipment arrives, so buried lines are marked and protected.
We file for any required NYC Department of Buildings or Department of Transportation permits tied to the driveway, sidewalk, or curb work.
Slabs, driveways, or foundations are broken out using equipment sized to the job, from compact breakers to full excavators.
Where the project calls for it, we dig and grade the site to the required depth, using shoring or sloping as conditions require.
Broken concrete and excavated material are loaded out and hauled to a licensed facility, leaving the site clean and ready for the next phase.
Bronx property owners typically call in demolition contractors for concrete and excavation work when they run into:
Concrete work that touches a driveway apron, curb cut, or sidewalk in the Bronx typically involves both the NYC Department of Buildings and the Department of Transportation, since the sidewalk and curb are considered part of the public right-of-way. Before any digging starts, New York State law requires a call to 811 so utility lines can be located and marked, a step we handle as part of every excavation project.
The Bronx's mix of glacial till and schist bedrock means excavation depth and soil stability can vary block to block, even on the same street. Trenches or excavations five feet deep or greater require a protective system such as sloping, shoring, or shielding, and we plan for that from the estimate stage rather than after digging has started.
Concrete removal costs depend on the slab thickness, square footage, and how the debris needs to be hauled away. Contact us for a free on-site estimate specific to your property.
Most concrete removal tied to a driveway, patio, or foundation project requires a permit from the NYC Department of Buildings, and any work affecting the curb or sidewalk may also involve the Department of Transportation.
Broken concrete is loaded out and hauled to a licensed recycling or disposal facility. Where possible, we separate concrete from rebar and other materials before it leaves the site.
Yes. We handle excavation for new foundations, additions, and grading work, and coordinate utility locates before any digging begins.
Depth depends on soil conditions, nearby structures, and the project scope. We evaluate each site and follow standard shoring and protective system requirements for anything beyond a shallow cut.
