Concrete & Slab Removal in Clearwater
This is the job our whole operation is built around: break it out, haul it to our yard, crush it, and sell it back as base material. Our yard is here in town, and we are licensed C-11855 and CUC041521.
Driveway and pool-deck concrete out of Countryside, Skycrest and Morningside makes the shortest trip we run: broken out, loaded, and across town to Keene Rd where it is crushed into base material within the hour. On the Gulf-to-Bay strips the same job is a parking lot and a building slab by the hundreds of tons, and it goes to the same crusher.
This is our home market. The work is block-ranch teardowns for rebuilds, obsolete commercial strips coming down along the Gulf-to-Bay corridor, and obsolete commercial buildings coming off the Cleveland Street district as it turns over. Because the debris comes back to our own transfer station a few minutes away, disposal on a Clearwater teardown costs us less than it costs a contractor hauling to someone else’s gate, and the bid shows it.
Driveways, patios, walkways, pads and footers all come out the same way — saw-cut where a clean edge matters, broken out with a machine, and loaded. The variables are thickness and reinforcement. A 4-inch unreinforced patio is quick work; an 8-inch commercial apron with rebar is a different day.
Rebar and wire mesh slow the breaking and add weight. Post-tension slabs are a different job entirely — the tendons are under load and have to be identified before anyone starts cutting. If you know what is in the slab, tell us; if you do not, we assess on site before quoting.
What it costs
What drives a Clearwater quote
| Scope of job | What drives the number |
|---|---|
| Patio or walkway, unreinforced | Area, thickness, and how far the machine has to travel |
| Residential driveway | Square footage, reinforcement, and saw-cutting at the street and garage |
| Reinforced slab or commercial apron | Thickness, rebar density, and access |
| Footers and stem walls | Depth and what sits beside them |
Every demolition is quoted on site, free. Access, structure and what has to be protected move the number more than square footage does, which is why we walk it rather than price it down the phone.
The yard is in Clearwater, so haul cost is as close to zero as it gets — trucks cycle between the site and our own C&D transfer station on Keene Rd without leaving the city. No bridges, no tolls, and short cycles mean more loads per day and a lower bid.
How it works
What a Clearwater job looks like
Assess and cut
Thickness and reinforcement checked; saw-cut where a clean edge is needed against something staying.
Break out
Slab broken with machine or breaker and loaded — sized to weight, not volume.
Haul and crush
Concrete returns to our transfer station and is crushed into base material.
Grade or rebase
The area is graded off, or crushed concrete base is placed and compacted ready for new paving.
Questions
Concrete Removal in Clearwater — FAQs
How much does concrete removal cost in Clearwater?
It comes down to the structure and the access, not the ZIP code. On patio or walkway, unreinforced, what moves the number is area, thickness, and how far the machine has to travel. What moves it in Clearwater is how short the haul is — the debris goes back to our own gate a few minutes away, so disposal barely moves the bid. We walk the site and quote it, free.
Do you recycle the concrete?
Yes — all of it. It goes to our own C&D transfer station and is crushed into road base, paver base and #57 rock, which we also sell back for the rebuild.
Can you remove a reinforced slab?
Yes. Rebar and mesh add time and weight but not drama. Post-tension slabs are the exception — they must be identified first, and we check before quoting.
Can you put down new base after removal?
Yes — crushed concrete road base from our own yard, placed and compacted on the same job, ready for pavers, asphalt or a new pour.
