Removing Your Concrete Driveway
Your driveway is more than just a space to park your cars, trucks, and SUVs. It is an integral part of your overall curb appeal and property value. So, if your existing concrete driveway is cracking, settling, or simply doesn't fit your lifestyle, removing it is the necessary first step toward creating a beautiful, lasting entrance. At Keystone Improvements, our team of certified professionals, who bring the same dedication to excellence to concrete removal as they do to new installations, ensure the initial demolition is handled safely, efficiently, and precisely, setting a flawless foundation for whatever comes next.
Common Reasons for Removing Your Concrete Driveway
- Beyond Repair: When the existing concrete surface is severely cracked, buckled, or has settled significantly, removal may be necessary to correct the underlying drainage or sub-base issues.
- New Design: You may want to convert a straight, vertical driveway into a more elegant and expansive circular drive, or enlarge the surface area to accommodate the additional vehicles of your growing family.
- Material Upgrade: Many homeowners opt to remove an old driveway and replace it with upscale materials, such as concrete pavers, for a sophisticated, high-end look.
- Improper Installation: If a prior driveway was installed without proper grading and is causing water to pool, demolition is typically necessary to correct the drainage issues and prevent future foundation problems.
Driveway Removal Process
The driveway removal process requires specialized equipment and adherence to safety protocols and local building codes. The Keystone Improvements team manages every step from start to finish, ensuring your complete satisfaction:
- Site Assessment and Preparation: We review the driveway’s size, proximity to utilities, and connection points, ensuring that the surrounding landscape, walkways, and irrigation systems are protected.
- Demolition: Using specialized tools and equipment, we carefully cut the concrete into manageable sections before demolition to prevent damage to surrounding areas.
- Debris Hauling and Disposal: All concrete debris is promptly loaded and hauled away, leaving the site clean and ready for the next phase.
- Sub-Base Preparation: Critically, we prepare the soil base, addressing any underlying issues with grading or drainage before the Concrete Driveway Replacement & Installation phase begins.
Whether you are replacing the surface with new poured concrete or switching to paving stones, proper removal and preparation are essential for a final result that is expertly installed and built to last.
