Concrete Removal Services

Break it up, haul it out. We handle concrete demolition right.

That Concrete Has to Go

Cracked driveway. Heaved sidewalk. Old patio that's seen better days. Concrete doesn't last forever, especially in Idaho where freeze-thaw cycles take their toll year after year. When concrete cracks, settles, or just doesn't fit your plans anymore, it needs to be removed properly.

Top Shelf provides concrete removal services throughout the Treasure Valley. We break up concrete slabs, patios, driveways, sidewalks, and foundations using professional equipment. Everything gets loaded up and hauled away for proper disposal. We leave your site clean and ready for whatever comes next.

Concrete removal isn't a DIY project. It's heavy, requires specialized equipment, and creates a lot of debris that needs proper disposal. Our crews handle it efficiently while protecting your surrounding property.

Common Questions

What types of concrete do you remove?

Sidewalks, patios, driveways, slabs, footings, curbing, retaining walls, steps - if it's concrete and you want it gone, we handle it.

Do you break it up or just haul pieces?

Both. We can break up concrete on-site and haul it away, or if it's already broken into pieces, we'll load and haul.

How much does concrete removal cost?

Concrete is heavy, so pricing is based on thickness, area, and reinforcement. Rebar-reinforced concrete costs more. Call for an estimate.

Can concrete be recycled?

Yes. We take concrete to recycling facilities where it's crushed and reused as base material for roads and construction projects.
