Demo Patrol is a licensed concrete demolition contractor serving Northern California. Driveways, foundations, retaining walls, sidewalks, patios, pool decks, and flatwork. Broken out with skid steers and hydraulic breakers, hauled by 10-wheeler trucks, and recycled at PRO Aggregate Inc through our direct yard relationship. One crew handles every step from breakout to clean grade.
What We Remove
From a cracked residential driveway to a reinforced commercial foundation. If it is concrete and it needs to go, we have the hydraulic equipment to break it and the trucks to haul it.
Full driveway removal or partial sections. Standard 4-inch residential driveways to thicker commercial aprons. We saw-cut clean edges when removing sections adjacent to concrete that stays.
Residential and commercial foundation demolition including stem walls, footings, and slabs. Foundation removal is common after house demolition or as prep for new construction on an existing lot.
Concrete block, poured concrete, and stone retaining wall demolition. We evaluate soil and drainage before removal to prevent grading issues. Replacement grading included in our scope.
Public right-of-way sidewalk replacement, private walkway removal, and curb demolition. We handle permit requirements for work in city or county right-of-way when applicable.
Backyard patio removal and pool deck demolition. Pool deck concrete often goes into the pool cavity during pool demolition. Reducing fill dirt costs. Standalone patio removal includes grading.
Warehouse floors, garage slabs, barn pads, sport courts, and general flatwork. Thickness and reinforcement determine the equipment and labor required. We assess on site before quoting.
$0 Disposal Cost
Demo Patrol dumps all concrete at a private recycling yard that accepts concrete at no charge. The concrete is crushed and recycled into aggregate for road base and fill material. This means $0 disposal costs on every concrete job we run.
Most demolition contractors pay per-ton tipping fees at transfer stations and pass those costs straight to you. We do not pay disposal fees on concrete, and that savings is reflected directly in your estimate. On large-volume jobs, this is a significant difference.
We dump at a private recycling yard that accepts concrete at no charge. No per-ton tipping fees. The savings go directly to your bottom line.
Concrete is 100% recyclable. The recycling yard crushes and reuses it as aggregate, keeping material out of landfills and reducing demand for virgin quarry material.
Every load of concrete leaving your site is documented with dump receipts. Full transparency on where your material goes.
Project Spotlight
Our largest concrete demolition project: a milk barn in Nicolaus, California. Over 2 million pounds of concrete broken out and hauled away. 30 ten-wheeler trucks running all day, every day until the job was done. This is the kind of large-scale concrete removal that separates Demo Patrol from contractors who only handle driveways and patios.
Our Process
One crew handles everything. From the first saw cut to the final grade. Here is exactly how we remove concrete.
We inspect the concrete. Thickness, reinforcement type (rebar, wire mesh, or unreinforced), total area, and site access for our equipment. You receive a written, itemized estimate.
811 called for underground utility locating before any breakout begins. Gas, water, electrical, and sewer lines are identified and marked to prevent accidental damage during demolition.
Clean saw cuts at the boundary of the removal area. This creates a straight, finished edge where new concrete meets existing. Critical for partial removals, driveway sections, and sidewalk work.
Skid steers and mini skid steers with hydraulic breaker attachments do the work. Rebar and wire mesh are separated from the concrete during breakout. Hydraulic equipment is the reason a 400 sq ft driveway comes out in a single day.
Concrete loaded onto our 10-wheeler trucks and hauled to a private recycling yard that accepts concrete at no charge. Metal and rebar separated and sent to scrap. Every load tracked with dump receipts.
Rough grading and compaction after removal. The site is left clean and level. Ready for new concrete, asphalt, landscaping, or whatever your next phase requires.
Transparent Pricing
Standard concrete runs $4 to $5 per square foot. Reinforced concrete with rebar adds $1 to $2 per square foot, putting reinforced jobs in the $5 to $7 range. Commercial slabs are priced the same or less depending on total volume. A standard 400-square-foot driveway at $5 per foot is a $2,000 job.
Every estimate includes an onsite assessment where we measure the area, evaluate thickness and reinforcement, and assess equipment access. The quote you receive is itemized so you know exactly what you are paying for. Demo Patrol focuses on foundations, driveways, and larger-scale concrete removal where our equipment and crew make the biggest difference.
Standard residential is 4 inches. Driveways and commercial can run 6-12+ inches. Thicker concrete requires more hydraulic breaker time and produces more debris volume.
Unreinforced concrete breaks clean. Wire mesh adds moderate complexity. Rebar-reinforced concrete requires cutting and separating. Significantly more labor intensive.
Volume drives hauling costs. More concrete means more truck loads. Our private recycling yard keeps disposal costs lower than competitors paying third-party tipping fees.
Can we get an excavator to the concrete? Or are we working through a side gate with mini equipment? Access directly affects the equipment we bring and the time the job takes.
$1,000 or 10% deposit, whichever is less. Balance due on completion.
