Old Concrete Out, Clean Ground In
Concrete removal services in Adelaide are the first step in almost every resurfacing, rebuild or landscaping project. Before a new driveway can be poured or a new garden can go in, the old slab has to come out properly — cut to clean lines, broken down to a size that can be handled safely, and carted off site rather than stacked in a corner of the yard.
We remove concrete of every kind across the Adelaide metro area: cracked and lifted driveways, tired paths and patios, old shed and house slabs, redundant footings, kerbing and pool surrounds. Every job starts with a proper look at what we're dealing with — slab thickness, how much steel is in it, what's running underneath, and how we'll get machinery in and rubble out. That planning is what keeps removal quick, tidy and free of nasty surprises like a cut water main or a cracked neighbouring slab.
Our Concrete Removal Process
1. Site Assessment & Quote
We inspect the slab, measure the area, check the thickness and reinforcement, and identify any services, pipes or irrigation running underneath before we quote.
2. Cutting & Breaking Out
Clean saw cuts isolate the section to be removed, then jackhammers, excavator-mounted breakers or rock saws break the slab into manageable pieces.
3. Loading & Cartage
Broken concrete is loaded straight into bins or tipper trucks and carted off site, with steel mesh and reinforcing bar separated for recycling.
4. Clean-Up & Base Prep
We sweep the area down, remove loose rubble, and can trim and compact the sub-base so the site is ready for your new pour or landscaping.
What We Remove
If it's concrete and it needs to go, we can take it out. Most residential jobs are done inside a day, with larger commercial slabs staged so the site stays usable throughout.
Driveways
Cracked, lifted or sunken driveways broken out in full, including thickened edges and old crossovers.
Paths & Patios
Old walkways, verandah slabs and patio areas removed cleanly without damaging garden beds or fencing.
Shed & House Slabs
Full slab removal including footings, piers and edge beams, down to clean, workable ground.
Pool Surrounds
Concrete lifted from around pool shells with care taken to protect coping, tiling and the shell itself.
Footings & Kerbs
Redundant footings, kerbing, edging and mower strips cut out and carted away.
Partial Removal
Precision saw cutting where only a damaged section needs to go and the rest of the slab stays put.
Why Use a Concreting Crew for Removal
Anyone with a hammer can break concrete. Removing it without damaging what stays, without hitting services, and without leaving you with a yard full of rubble is a different job — and because we pour concrete as well as remove it, we prepare the site for the next stage while we're there.
Full removal of driveways, paths, patios, slabs, footings and pool surrounds — no job too small or too awkward
Saw-cut edges that leave neighbouring concrete clean and undamaged when only part of a slab is coming out
Reinforced and heavily meshed concrete handled properly, with steel separated and sent for recycling
Tight-access options using mini excavators, hand tools and barrows where trucks and machines cannot reach
Underground services located and protected before breaking starts, so pipes and cables stay intact
Site left swept, rubble-free and ready for the next trade to start straight away
All work is fully insured, waste is disposed of through licensed facilities, and concrete is recycled wherever possible rather than sent to landfill.
