What's included
What our concrete removal service includes
Every concrete removal job we quote includes breaking, loading, hauling, and disposal. You do not need to rent equipment or arrange a dumpster. Here is what is covered on a standard residential job, and what we can add if your project needs more.
Breaking and cutting
We break slabs, patios, walkways, and footings into liftable pieces using sledgehammers, pry bars, and shovels. Thicker reinforced slabs get cut first. A standard patio takes two to three hours to break up, depending on thickness and rebar.
Loading and hauling
Broken concrete goes into our dump truck using hand trucks and furniture dollies. We lay tarps to protect grass and landscaping. A cubic yard of broken concrete weighs about 4,000 pounds, so we load in stages to keep the truck legal and safe.
Licensed disposal
Every load goes to a licensed concrete recycling facility in the MD area. We can provide a disposal receipt if you need one for a permit or a property sale. Concrete does not go to a landfill or an empty lot.
Site cleanup
We sweep the cleared area and rake the ground where the slab sat. Stray chunks get picked up before we leave. If you want the space regraded for sod or gravel, we can quote that as an add-on before we start.
Metal separation
Rebar, wire mesh, and metal edging get pulled out and sent to a scrap recycler separately from the concrete. That keeps the concrete clean for recycling and keeps metal out of the waste stream.
Optional regrading
After the slab is up, the ground underneath is usually uneven. We can bring in fill dirt and rough-grade the area so it is ready for sod, gravel, or a new pour. Ask for this when you book so we bring the right equipment.
Service overview
What Concrete Removal in Balitmore, MD actually involves
Concrete Removal in Balitmore, MD is the process of breaking up, loading, and hauling away hardened concrete from a residential or commercial property. That covers driveway slabs, patio pads, walkway sections, foundation remnants, and old footings. We start by cutting or breaking the slab into manageable pieces, then lift them into a dump truck with a hand truck or furniture dolly where the ground allows. A 10 by 20 foot driveway slab weighs roughly 6,000 to 9,000 pounds, so this is not a wheelbarrow job. We bring the pry bars, sledgehammers, and ratchet straps to move it safely.
Most Balitmore homeowners call us after a renovation, a failed patio pour, or a storm that cracked a walkway beyond repair. The freeze-thaw cycle here is brutal on old concrete, and a slab that was fine in 2019 can be a trip hazard by 2026. If you need same-day concrete removal Balitmore near me, we can usually have a truck at your curb within a few hours. We also handle concrete hauling Balitmore, MD for contractors who need a site cleared before the next pour.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How our concrete demolition Balitmore service works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Phone quote
You call +1 410-526-6999 and tell us what you want gone: a driveway, a patio, a shed pad, a set of steps. We ask for rough dimensions and how close a truck can park. Most quotes take under ten minutes. If the job is unusual, we schedule a free on-site look.
On-site confirmation
For larger slabs or tight access, we walk the property with you before we start. We check for rebar, utility lines, and whether the concrete sits on dirt or over a basement. That is when we lock in the final price and the start time, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Breaking and loading
Our crew arrives with sledgehammers, pry bars, shovels, and a dump truck. We break the slab into liftable pieces, then load them using a hand truck and furniture dolly. A standard two-car driveway takes four to six hours. We lay tarps to protect grass and keep dust down.
Haul and dispose
Every load goes to a licensed concrete recycling yard, not a landfill. We sweep the area and rake the ground where the slab sat. If you want the space regraded for sod or gravel, tell us before we start and we will quote that as an add-on.
Final walkthrough
Before we leave, you walk the site with our crew lead. We point out the cleared area, confirm nothing was missed, and take payment. You get a receipt and a disposal record. If you spot a stray chunk later, call us and we will come back.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use for concrete removal
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Sledgehammer
Used to break slabs and pads into liftable pieces. We match the head weight to the thickness of the concrete, usually an 8 to 12 pound head for residential patios and driveways.
Pry bar
Lifts slab sections and separates concrete from rebar, footings, and the ground. Essential for getting under a broken piece without crushing your fingers.
Hand truck and furniture dolly
Moves broken concrete from the backyard to the truck when a wheelbarrow will not fit. Critical for narrow rowhouse alleys in Pigtown, Highlandtown, and Fells Point.
Dump truck
Hauls the broken concrete to a licensed recycling facility. Our trucks handle 10 to 15 cubic yards per load, which covers most residential driveways and patios in one trip.
Shovel and broom
Clears loose aggregate, dirt, and small chips after the slab is up. We sweep the area before we leave so the site is ready for the next step.
Ratchet straps and tarp
Secures loads for the drive to the recycler and protects your lawn and landscaping from dust and falling debris during the job.
Work gloves
Standard on every job. Broken concrete has sharp edges, and our crew does not handle it bare-handed at any point.
Use cases
When Balitmore homeowners call us for concrete removal
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Pigtown patio removed through a narrow alley
A rear patio slab in Pigtown had cracked and settled, creating a trip hazard by the back door. The alley was too narrow for a truck, and two other companies declined the job because of access. → Our crew hand-carried every piece to the street using hand trucks and dollies. The patio was gone in four hours, the alley was swept, and the neighbor's fence was untouched. The owner put down gravel the same weekend.
White Marsh warehouse slab cleared for new tenant
A commercial suite in White Marsh had a reinforced concrete floor slab left over from an old tenant. The landlord needed it gone before a new lease started in ten days, and the slab was too thick for a standard dumpster. → We cut and broke the reinforced slab over two days with a larger crew and a dump truck. The suite was cleared on schedule, and the landlord received a disposal receipt for the property file. The new tenant moved in on time.
Problems we solve
Concrete problems we solve in Balitmore
Broken concrete does not fix itself, and it does not get lighter. Here are the situations we get called about most, and what happens if you leave them alone.
Cracked driveway slab that is a trip hazard
We break the slab, load it, and haul it to a recycler. A standard two-car driveway takes four to six hours. You get a clean, level surface ready for a new pour or gravel, and the trip hazard is gone the same day.
Old patio pad left after a deck tear-out
We remove the deck footings and the pad in one visit. Our crew uses pry bars and sledgehammers to break the pad, then loads it with hand trucks. Most deck pads come out in two to three hours, and the yard is ready for grass.
Construction debris and broken concrete after a renovation
We clear the whole site: concrete, construction debris, scrap metal, and packaging. One truck, one trip, one price. We can usually schedule within 24 to 48 hours of your call, and we leave the site broom-clean.
Storm-damaged walkway or retaining wall
We run emergency dispatch for storm damage. We break and haul the failed concrete, and we can clear yard waste and storm debris on the same visit. Call +1 410-526-6999 and we will tell you what is possible today.
Pricing process
What concrete removal costs in Balitmore
$350 - $1,200 for most residential jobs; larger commercial slabs quoted per project
Square footage and thickness
A 100 square foot walkway is a different job than a 500 square foot driveway. Thickness matters too. A 4-inch patio breaks faster than a 6-inch driveway with rebar. We ask for rough dimensions on the phone to give you an accurate range.
Rebar and wire mesh
Reinforced concrete takes longer to break and separate. We pull the metal and send it to a scrap recycler, which adds labor but keeps the concrete load clean. Expect a reinforced slab to cost 15 to 25 percent more than an unreinforced one.
Truck access
If a dump truck can back up to the slab, the job is faster and cheaper. If we have to hand-carry broken concrete down a narrow alley, the labor goes up. We tell you on the phone which category your property falls into.
Customer reviews
What Balitmore customers say
★★★★★
“I had a 12 by 24 foot driveway slab that was cracked in three places and I could not get anyone to call me back. Haul Away quoted it over the phone in ten minutes and had a crew out two days later. They broke it up, loaded it, and swept the whole area. Four hours start to finish. Price was exactly what they said.”
★★★★★
“We manage several rowhouses and one had a collapsed backyard patio that was a liability. The access was terrible, just a narrow alley. Their guys used hand trucks and dollies to get every piece out by hand. No damage to the fence, no complaints from neighbors. I have used them three times since.”
★★★★★
“I run a small remodeling company and I use these guys for concrete hauling on my jobs. They show up when they say, they do not tear up the lawn, and they take the debris to a real recycler. I have never had to call them back for a missed piece. That is worth more than saving fifty bucks.”
