Driveways · Slabs · Foundations
Heaved driveways, crumbling sidewalks, porch slabs going nowhere, and the foundation the last garage left behind — broken out, loaded, hauled, and finished with clean stone or graded fill.
Freeze-thaw is undefeated in Lackawanna County. Water gets under a slab, freezes, lifts it; spring drops it back down crooked; a decade of that and your driveway is a plate collection. Once concrete heaves and cracks through, sealing products are cosmetics — the fix is removal and a properly prepared base for whatever comes next: new concrete, asphalt, pavers, or lawn.
We remove driveways, sidewalks and city walks, patios, porch and stoop slabs, garage floors, retaining walls, and full foundations — including the buried ones that surprise property owners decades after a structure came down. Hydraulic breakers and the right-sized excavator make quick work of it; everything gets loaded and hauled to licensed facilities, and the area is left graded with clean stone or fill compacted in, ready for the next contractor or just a rake and grass seed.
City sidewalk citations land on the owner in Scranton. If the city has flagged your walk as a trip hazard, removal is half the fix — we coordinate schedules with whichever flatwork contractor is pouring your replacement so the open section is closed as fast as possible.
Around Scranton, concrete removal typically runs $1,000–$5,000 for most residential scopes — square footage, thickness, rebar or wire mesh, and access set the price. Small single-slab jobs (a stoop, a walk section) can run less; buried foundations run more and are quoted after a look. Free on-site estimates with a firm written number, always.
Usually — compact machines fit standard gates and Scranton's alley access. Where machines genuinely can't reach, breakers and buggies do it the harder way; access changes price, not feasibility.
Travel paths get protected with mats where ground conditions call for it, and final grading repairs the working area. Expect some evidence a machine visited — expect it gone by the second mowing.
Clean concrete typically goes to facilities that crush it into aggregate — one reason disposal costs stay reasonable and one more reason it shouldn't end up buried in your yard.
We're demolition — deliberately. We'll leave the base prepped to your flatwork contractor's spec and coordinate timing with them, which keeps our removal pricing honest and your bids competitive.
