Concrete Demolition and Removal

Old concrete removal & demolition (re & re services) covers the full scope of breaking out and hauling away existing concrete. Whether it's a cracked driveway, a deteriorating patio slab, or a failing set of stairs, our crew removes the old material and disposes of it properly so your site is ready for fresh installation. Handling demolition and new concrete under one contract means there's no gap between tear-out and pour day, which keeps your property from sitting as an open construction zone longer than necessary.

Tight-access Excavation

Many Lower Mainland homes have narrow side yards, rear gates, or landscaped areas that full-size equipment simply cannot reach. Our micro mini excavator and tracked dumper operate in spaces as narrow as 4 feet, which means we can excavate behind fences, between houses, and along established garden beds without tearing apart your property to get the job done.

General Excavation and Grading

Excavation & site preparation (including tight-access micro mini excavation) covers everything from digging out subgrade material to final grading. Proper grade control directs water away from your foundation and creates the level base that concrete needs to perform for decades. Our crew uses different sizes of excavators and tracked equipment to match the scale of each project, from a small shed slab to a full driveway replacement.

Dirt and Soil Removal

Excess soil and fill material left on site creates drainage problems and delays the next phase of work. We load, haul, and dispose of unwanted dirt and debris as part of our excavation scope, so your yard isn't left with piles of material waiting for a second contractor to deal with.

Trench Excavation

Utility trenches for drainage lines, electrical conduit, or gas piping need precise depth and width. Our excavation team digs trenches to specification and prepares them for concrete trench restorations & repairs once the utility work is complete. Keeping trench excavation and concrete restoration under one company eliminates the coordination delays that happen when two separate crews need to schedule around each other.

Site Preparation for New Concrete

Gravel base preparation & soil compaction is where long-term concrete performance begins. We compact the subgrade (the native soil beneath your concrete), place and level the gravel base, and verify proper drainage slope before any formwork goes in. Skipping this step or doing it poorly leads to cracking and settlement within the first few years, which is why we handle it ourselves rather than relying on a third party.

How We Take Your Project from Demolition to New Concrete

Every project follows a clear sequence. Obada walks you through each phase before work begins, so you know exactly what's happening on your property and when.

01

On-site Assessment

We evaluate access points, existing concrete condition, underground utilities, and soil type to plan the right equipment and approach for your property.

04

Excavation and Grading

We excavate to the required depth, establish proper drainage grades, and compact the subgrade to create a stable foundation for new concrete.

02

Demolition and Break-out

Our crew removes old concrete using appropriately sized equipment, protecting adjacent landscaping, fences, and structures throughout the process.

05

Ready for Concrete

With the site fully prepared, our crew transitions directly into gravel base preparation & soil compaction, formwork & custom formwork, and steel reinforcement & rebar installation for your new pour.

03

Material Removal and Disposal

Broken concrete, dirt, and debris are loaded and hauled off site the same day whenever possible, keeping your property clean.

DEMOLITION · DECISION GUIDE

Is Combined Demolition and Excavation Right for Your Project

Hiring separate contractors for demolition, excavation, and concrete installation is a common approach, but it's also the most common source of scheduling conflicts, finger-pointing over site conditions, and higher total costs. Here's how to decide whether a single-company approach fits your situation.

Access Constraints

If your project site has narrow gates, tight side yards, or limited equipment access, specialized micro-mini equipment avoids costly manual labour or property damage from oversized machines.

Accountability

With one company managing every phase, there's a single point of contact if questions arise about subgrade preparation, drainage, or final concrete quality.

Project Timeline

When demolition, excavation, and concrete installation are handled by one crew, there are no waiting periods between trades. The same team that removes old concrete prepares the site and pours the new slab.

Budget Clarity

One estimate covers demolition through finished concrete. You won't receive surprise invoices from a second or third contractor for site conditions they didn't anticipate.

When It Fits

You're replacing an existing driveway, patio, walkway, or garage floor and need the old concrete removed before new installation.

Your property has tight access that standard excavation equipment cannot reach.

You want one company accountable for the entire project from demolition through finished concrete.

When It May Not

You only need excavation for landscaping or non-concrete purposes with no concrete installation to follow.

Your project requires large-scale commercial earthmoving beyond residential scope.

If your project involves removing old concrete and installing new, a single contractor with in-house excavation capability is the most efficient and accountable path forward.
