Professional Driveway Removal in San Dimas, CA
Driveway removal is a volume game: breaking the slab is often faster than loading and hauling it. A standard two-car asphalt driveway can produce five to eight tons of material, while a comparable concrete driveway with rebar reinforcement may produce twelve tons or more at a higher density. C&S Demolition scales equipment to the job — a skid-steer with a hydraulic breaker attachment on a wide driveway, hand equipment near garage aprons, landscaping, or utilities where precision matters. The goal is always to leave the sub-grade clean and at the right elevation for the new pour or pave, not just to clear the surface.
Key cost factors include total square footage, thickness (four-inch residential versus six-inch or eight-inch commercial-grade slabs), reinforcement level (wire mesh versus rebar grid), sub-base conditions, proximity of landscaping or underground utilities that require careful hand-work, and whether site access allows a truck to pull close for direct loading. Asphalt and concrete recycling options are available and can offset disposal costs on larger projects.
Properly permitted driveway removal is often required when the work connects to a public sidewalk or curb, as the city wants documentation that the public right-of-way is protected during work and restored afterward. Your written bid states which permits the job needs and who pulls them; permit fees are the owner's unless the bid says otherwise. Most driveway removals complete in one to two days, leaving the surface graded and ready for your paving or concrete contractor.
