Concrete Removal · Fayetteville, NC

Old driveways and slabs broken up and hauled off

Concrete removal is part of the excavating work Hollingsworth and Son Construction does around Fayetteville and Raeford. We break up old driveways, slabs, patios, sidewalks and walkways by machine. Old foundations and footings left after a teardown come out too. Then the broken concrete is loaded and hauled off through our debris removal service.

As a demolition contractor in Fayetteville, we take out a slab by itself or with the building on top. Call or text (910) 527-1108, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Driveway removal and slab removal around Fayetteville

Most concrete comes out for one of two reasons. It has cracked and sunk past saving, or it sits where something new has to go. A sidewalk lifted by tree roots is the first kind. A sound patio in the way of a new garage is the second.

We take out whole concrete driveways, along with garage and shed slabs. A slab often outlasts the shed that stood on it. Patios and sidewalks come out the same way, and so do pads on commercial lots ahead of a rebuild.

Old foundations and footings are the deeper part of this work. When a house or a garage comes down, the slab and its footings can stay behind. They come out with the excavator after the house demolition, and the lot is left clear.

What makes one concrete demolition job bigger than another?

Thickness comes first. A thin walkway breaks up fast. A thick shop slab or an old footing keeps the machine busy much longer.

Steel inside the concrete matters next. Rebar or wire mesh holds the broken pieces together, so they take more work to pull apart and load. Plain concrete with no steel breaks into loose pieces that load faster.

Access decides the rest. The machine needs a clear path from the street to the concrete. A back patio behind a fence or a narrow gate takes more planning than an open driveway.

Before concrete removal: NC 811 and buried lines

North Carolina's underground utility law covers demolition as well as digging. Notice goes to NC 811 at least three full working days before the work starts. Weekends and state holidays do not count. The utilities then send locators to mark their lines.

The law sets a 24-inch zone on each side of a mark. Inside it, a machine may break out pavement only to the pavement's depth. Deeper digging by machine waits until the line has been seen.

An 811 ticket does not get private lines marked. Those include the water line from the meter to the house and the propane line from the tank. A private line locator marks those, so tell us what may run under your concrete.

FAQ

Concrete Removal Questions, Answered

Common questions about concrete removal around Fayetteville and the Sandhills. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (910) 527-1108

How much does concrete removal cost?
Size and thickness come first, then any rebar or wire mesh inside. A tight path for the machine adds time, and so does a long haul for disposal. We look at the job and put the quote in writing. Our guide to concrete removal costs in North Carolina covers the published market ranges.
Do you pour the new driveway or patio?
No. New concrete is a job for a concrete contractor. Our part is breaking up the old concrete and hauling it off. If the ground needs backfill or rough leveling after, dozer work can go on the same written quote.
What happens to the broken concrete?
We load it by machine and haul it off the property. North Carolina's solid waste rules list cured concrete as inert debris, along with brick, block, asphalt, gravel and rock. Inert debris cannot carry lead-based paint or chemical sealants, so tell us if the slab was ever painted or sealed. Disposal is part of the written quote.
Can broken concrete be buried on my property?
State rules allow clean concrete as fill to level ground, under set conditions. It needs at least a foot of compacted soil on top and must sit above the seasonal high water table. Digging a hole just to bury it does not qualify, and local rules can add limits. On our jobs, the broken concrete is hauled off.
Do I need a permit to remove a concrete driveway?
It depends on where the concrete sits and who maintains your street. The end of the driveway and the sidewalk can sit in the public right-of-way. Inside Fayetteville, the city runs driveway permits, and a state road brings in NCDOT. Whoever maintains your street answers that question, and we point you there.

We work about 50 miles around Fayetteville, including Raeford, Hope Mills, Spring Lake and the Sandhills towns. Sanford, Lumberton, Laurinburg and Dunn sit inside that range too. Call or text (910) 527-1108 with the address, and we set up a time to look at the job.
