Heavy Hydraulic Breakers & Placer County Recycling Directives
Demolishing 6-inch wire-reinforced concrete driveways and poured footing pads in Roseville requires heavy mechanical impact power. Our team breaks thick reinforced concrete cleanly while protecting underground gas and water lines.
Deploying an Epiroc SB302 hydraulic breaker mounted on a Kubota KX057 excavator, concrete slabs are shattered rapidly into loading size. All concrete rubble is transported directly to authorized recycling centers in compliance with Placer County Western Regional Landfill Concrete Recycling Directives, crushing material for aggregate re-use.
Our 3-Step Concrete Removal Process
We manage your site footprint from initial permit application to final soil compaction, providing a completely hands-off experience for the property owner.
Step 1 - Underground Utility Location & Saw Cutting
We mark utility lines and execute perimeter diamond saw cuts to establish clean edge separation.
Step 2 - High-Impact Hydraulic Breaking
Using excavator-mounted hydraulic breakers, we shatter reinforced concrete slabs and footings into transportable chunks.
Step 3 - Excavation, Haul-Away & Subgrade Raking
Heavy excavator buckets load concrete rubble into high-capacity dump trucks, leaving a clean dirt subgrade raked smooth.
Why Roseville & Rocklin Contractors Choose Pina Excavating for Concrete Breaking
Concrete demolition is a deceptively precision-intensive trade. The difference between a clean break that leaves adjacent property structures undamaged and a vibration-induced crack in a neighboring foundation or patio is directly determined by the saw-cutting isolation technique, the hydraulic breaker impact frequency selection, and the operator’s judgment about when to switch from percussive breaking to excavator bucket extraction.
Pina Excavating’s Epiroc SB302 hydraulic breaker system is calibrated specifically for residential concrete demolition in high-proximity environments, dense subdivisions, commercial corridor properties, and backyard renovation projects where adjacent structures are within arm’s reach of the demolition zone. Every concrete breaking project begins with diamond saw-cut perimeter isolation lines that mechanically sever the vibration path between the breaking zone and any adjacent slabs or footings.
Our pricing is written, itemized, and fixed. Placer County Western Regional Landfill tipping fees, recycling processing charges, and end-dump transport costs are all included in your initial written estimate. We do not present invoices with surprise disposal charges, overweight fees, or equipment surcharges after the job is complete. If the scope changes in the field, we notify you in writing before expanding the work.
Is Concrete Removal the Right Service for You?
You are the right client for this service if any of the following apply:
Homeowners Replacing a Cracked or Heaved Driveway
If tree roots, soil movement, or age have caused your driveway to crack, buckle, or become a trip hazard, removal and haul-away is the mandatory first step before any new concrete pour can begin.
Pool Removal Contractors Needing Deck & Coping Demolition
Concrete pool decks, pavers, and coping slabs typically need to be broken and removed before pool shell demolition equipment can access the waterline. We coordinate concrete deck removal as a same-day pre-stage to pool work.
Landscape Designers & Hardscape Contractors Clearing Slabs for New Outdoor Living Areas
If your design calls for removing an existing concrete patio to install pavers, turf, or an outdoor kitchen on grade, we break and haul the old slab with same-day turnaround.
General Contractors Needing Foundation or Slab Removal on Renovation Projects
If your renovation project requires removing a partial or full concrete foundation before structural framing begins, we provide itemized saw-cut isolation and precision removal to protect adjacent slab areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does concrete removal cost per square foot in Roseville?
Concrete removal costs average $5.50 per square foot for standard 4-inch to 6-inch residential driveways and slabs, with total project prices ranging between $1,500 and $7,500 depending on total area and rebar reinforcement.
Do you recycle the demolished concrete?
Yes. 100% of broken concrete material is delivered to Placer County recycling facilities where it is crushed into road base aggregate, keeping waste out of landfills.
Can you break concrete close to my house foundation without causing damage?
Yes. We use diamond blade saw-cutting to isolate the demolition zone, preventing vibration transmission to adjacent house foundations or structures.
How thick can the concrete be and still be broken by your hydraulic breaker equipment?
Our Epiroc SB302 hydraulic breaker system can demolish concrete up to 18 inches thick, including heavily reinforced commercial-grade slabs, post-tension cable foundations, and pier footings. We assess concrete thickness and rebar density during the free on-site estimate.
Is there an additional charge for concrete with wire mesh or rebar reinforcement?
Yes. Standard pricing applies to plain or lightly reinforced 4-inch slabs. Wire-mesh reinforced driveways and rebar-reinforced foundations require additional time for steel cutting and separation. These are itemized transparently in your written estimate rather than discovered as hidden charges after the job begins.
How long does driveway concrete removal take?
A standard 500 to 800 sq ft residential driveway removal takes approximately 4 to 6 hours including saw-cutting, hydraulic breaking, excavator loading, and end-dump haul-away. Larger commercial slab removals exceeding 2,000 sq ft typically take 1 to 2 full business days.
Are Placer County disposal fees and recycling tipping fees included in the quote?
Yes. Our written estimates include all applicable Placer County Western Regional Landfill tipping fees, aggregate recycling processing charges, and legal concrete disposal costs. There are no surprise add-on disposal fees after the job is complete.
Can you break and remove concrete and have the area ready for a new concrete pour in the same week?
Yes. In most cases, we can complete driveway or patio concrete removal and subgrade raking within 1 day, leaving the area ready for a concrete forming crew to start the following day. We can coordinate scheduling with your concrete contractor to eliminate waiting gaps.
