Concrete & Hardscape
Concrete slab & driveway removal in the Jersey Shore
Tier B · 23 towns covered
Breaking out and hauling away cracked driveways, garage pads, and leftover slabs, with the base regraded.
If this is the job you've got, you're not the first homeowner on the Jersey Shore to need it gone.
What homeowners tend to describe
- Concrete that has settled and become a trip hazard
- A slab left behind by a shed, garage, or pool you have already removed
- Old concrete you want gone before pavers, a new pour, or landscaping
- A cracked, heaved, or crumbling driveway or slab
The usual approach
The crew breaks the slab up with a machine or breaker, pulls the rebar or wire mesh, and hauls the broken concrete off for recycling. Grading the base back out is usually part of the job. Most residential driveways come out in a day.
Concrete is priced by what it weighs and what is in it. Breaking it is straightforward; hauling it is the cost, and reinforced slabs run heavier and slower than plain ones. Clean concrete can often be recycled rather than landfilled, which is worth asking about because it moves the disposal figure.
$500 – $5,000 — typical range, not a quote. What your job actually costs can only be settled by a registered crew that walks the site and looks at it.
