Concrete Driveway Removal

A Seattle driveway usually comes out for one of three reasons: it has cracked and heaved over tree roots, it has settled unevenly against the garage slab, or it is being replaced with pavers or a wider pour. The work is the same either way — saw-cut the perimeter so the break stops where it should, break the slab into liftable pieces, separate any rebar or wire mesh, load it out, and haul it to a concrete recycler. What changes the price is thickness, whether it is reinforced, and whether a truck can get close enough to load directly.
