Concrete Removal & Demolition
Break up and haul concrete throughout Hartford County. Licensed demolition service.
No credit card required. Free estimate. Easy to reschedule.
Concrete removal is heavy, specialized work. Driveways, patios, slabs, sidewalks, pool decks, and partial foundations require licensed demolition expertise, proper equipment, and safe debris handling. TJ's breaks up and hauls concrete away responsibly. All concrete is processed through certified recyclers to minimize landfill impact.
We hold Connecticut's demolition and excavation license. Hartford County's older neighborhoods are full of original driveways and patios from the 1950s and '60s that have finally succumbed to decades of freeze-thaw cracking, and our crew has years of hands-on experience breaking that concrete, managing heavy debris, and coordinating responsible disposal. Fast turnaround. Firm pricing. Professional execution that protects your property and meets environmental standards.
Whether it's a small sidewalk slab or a full driveway removal, we handle the heavy work end-to-end. Your on-site quote is firm before we break ground. The price includes breaking, loading, hauling, and recycling coordination. No surprises. No per-hour billing.
Free on-site estimate. Licensed demolition crew. You approve the price before we start.
What We Remove
How It Works
We inspect the concrete condition, measure the total area, assess thickness and reinforcement, and evaluate site access and removal logistics. We discuss your plans for the space after removal and any site preparation needs.
Based on concrete volume, thickness, reinforcement, access conditions, and debris disposal, we provide a firm upfront price with no surprises. You review and approve before we break ground.
Licensed crew with industrial equipment breaks up the concrete safely and efficiently. Debris is loaded, secured, and hauled to certified recycling facilities. We document the process and final disposal.
The area is cleared, cleaned, and ready for the next phase: new driveway, patio, landscaping, or construction. We focus on removal; site grading is handled separately if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does concrete removal cost?
Cost depends on concrete thickness, total area size, and debris volume. Thin sidewalk slabs (4 inches) cost less than thick driveway sections (6-8 inches). Stamped or reinforced concrete may take longer. We measure the area on-site, assess thickness and conditions, provide a firm price, and you approve before we start.
Do you remove and recycle the concrete?
Yes. We break up the concrete, load the rubble into our trucks, haul to certified recycling facilities, and document the disposal. Recycled concrete is processed and reused for road base, gravel fill, aggregate, and other applications. We divert as much of the material as the receiving facility will take.
Can you remove a partial foundation or slab?
Yes. We can remove partial slabs, sections of foundation, concrete steps, or specific areas without affecting surrounding structure. Full-slab removals are often most efficient, but we work around your project scope and engineering constraints.
How long does a concrete removal typically take?
Most residential concrete removals (driveway or large patio) take 1-2 days depending on size and thickness. We provide a detailed timeline during the on-site quote. Complex jobs (thick reinforced concrete, tight access) may extend the timeline. We communicate upfront.
What happens after the concrete is removed?
The area is cleared and ready for your next project: new driveway, patio construction, landscaping, or additional excavation work. Site grading and preparation beyond concrete removal are not included. We focus on professional breaking and debris removal.
Are you licensed for this work?
Yes. TJ's holds Connecticut's demolition and excavation license. We're fully insured with workers' compensation and liability coverage. We're equipped with industrial breaking tools and heavy machinery for safe, efficient concrete removal that meets all safety and disposal standards.
