Canberra Concrete Removal
Concrete removal in Canberra. We break out and truck away driveways, slabs, paths and footings, locating buried services first.
Concrete Removal Canberra
Concrete Removal in Canberra clears old slabs, driveways, paths and patios safely and efficiently, ready for new construction, landscaping or replacement. Professional removal protects surrounding structures, services and gardens, and saves you the time and effort of breaking out heavy concrete yourself. Proper disposal and sorting keep your project responsible. Tell us the area, thickness and whether it is reinforced, and we will assess access, services and disposal before choosing machinery. Canberra's established suburbs have tight access and mature trees, so careful planning in Kingston, Woden and Belconnen removes concrete cleanly and leaves a level base. Expect a tidy handover.

Canberra Concrete Removal Services
We break it out and cart it off, whether we're repouring or you've got other plans.
Driveways and verge crossings
Old driveways and TCCS verge crossings broken up, loaded and trucked away, with the kerb and nature strip left in one piece.
Slabs and floors
From garden shed slabs to garage floors packed with steel mesh, we'll saw cut where needed and break it all out without the drama.
Paths and patios
Clearing the way for a new garden? Smaller runs of path and patio come out by machine or by hand, depending on how tight your access is.
Footings and old walls
Buried footings, low walls and tired retaining hiding below the surface are dug out and removed, so they won't trip up your next build.
Around a pool
Keeping the pool but losing the deck? We take the surround out carefully, protecting the shell, coping and fence the whole time.
Precision saw cutting
Only want part of a slab gone? We saw cut a clean line first, so the concrete you're keeping ends with a neat, straight edge.
Canberra Concrete Removal Process
Cracking up concrete is the simple bit — the real work is finding what's buried and planning how everything gets out. Sewer, water, gas, power and irrigation lines often run right under driveways and slabs, and clipping one can turn a short job into an emergency callout, so we have everything located before the breaker comes out. We'll also map the exit route: where the machine can reach, which sections need barrowing, and what along the way needs covering. Then we saw cut and isolate the slab, break it up, load it, take it to a recycler wherever possible and leave you with level ground.
Site Check & Service Location
We find out what's running beneath and alongside the concrete, and plan how the machine and trucks will come and go.
Cut & Isolate
When only part of a slab is going, we saw cut it first so the section that stays has a straight, tidy edge.
Break Out & Load
Broken up by machine or by hand to suit your access, then loaded straight onto the truck so rubble stays off your yard.
Cart, Dispose & Level
We truck it off for disposal, grade the ground flat and leave it set for your next stage.
Why Choose Our Concrete Removal Experts in Canberra
Hitting a buried service or cracking a wall are the expensive removal mistakes, and checking first prevents both.
Services located before we start
Pipes and cables are found and marked before we start. Hitting one can make a quick job very costly.
Clean isolation cuts
We saw cut the line between what goes and what stays, so you're not left with a jagged edge to cover up.
Structures protected
Concrete butting your house, pool shell or boundary wall comes out without passing any damage into them.
Access protected
We protect the verge, kerb, paving and lawn along the access route — even more important on tight Gungahlin and Molonglo blocks.
Disposal quoted upfront
Trucking and tip costs are in your written quote. Volume drives the price most, so we measure it before pricing.
Repour available or not
We're glad to just take it out, or to remove and repour in one go. It's entirely your call.
Concrete Removal questions we get asked in Canberra
Quick answers to what Canberra homeowners usually ask us before getting a price.
How do you avoid hitting services?
Sewer, irrigation, gas, water and power lines often run beneath driveways and slabs, so we have them located before breaking anything. Striking one turns a half-day job into an emergency.
Can you fit a machine into a tight backyard?
Usually, and we sort out access as part of quoting. We check where the machine can reach, what needs barrowing out and what to protect along the way before we give you a price.
Where does the concrete go?
Wherever we can, to a recycler that crushes it into road base and fill. That's usually cheaper than landfill, and better too.
Will the ground be left level?
Yes, we grade it and clear it ready for the next stage. If you're building or pouring there later, let us know and we'll leave it at the right finished level.
What affects the cost of removal?
How thick it is, whether it's reinforced, how easily a machine can get in and how far it has to be trucked. A steel-reinforced slab with hand-only access can cost several times a thin slab off an open driveway.
