Bakersfield Concrete removes and hauls away existing concrete for driveways, patios, slabs, sidewalks, and foundations throughout Bakersfield and Kern County. Concrete removal is handled as part of replacement projects or as a standalone service when a site needs to be cleared before new construction begins.

Removal is where a replacement project actually starts. How the old concrete comes out, what the base condition looks like underneath, and what preparation the ground needs before the new pour all get determined at the demo stage. Bakersfield Concrete assesses the base during removal and builds that information into the plan for what comes next.

What Concrete Removal Involves

Existing concrete is broken up using jackhammers and demolition equipment, then loaded and hauled from the site. The process exposes the base layer beneath, which Bakersfield Concrete evaluates before moving to the next phase of the project.

What the crew finds in the base determines what preparation the new pour requires. In Bakersfield, it is common to find inadequate gravel depth, clay that was never properly compacted, or subgrade that has eroded or settled since the original pour. These conditions get addressed before any new concrete goes down.

Haul-Away and Disposal

Bakersfield Concrete loads and hauls all broken concrete from the site. Property owners don't need to arrange separate disposal or rent a dumpster. Concrete debris is recycled through local disposal facilities where available.

Why Concrete Removal Matters for the New Pour

Skipping proper removal or leaving the old base in place without evaluating it is one of the most common shortcuts that leads to early failure on new concrete. A new driveway poured over a base that wasn't rebuilt after the old one came out starts its life with the same conditions that caused the first one to fail.

Bakersfield Concrete uses the removal phase to do what the original installer may have skipped: assess the ground, remove what isn't right, and build the base the new pour actually needs.

Permits for Concrete Removal in Bakersfield

Standalone concrete removal on private property typically does not require a permit. Removal that is part of a larger permitted project — a driveway replacement that crosses a public sidewalk, for example — falls under that project's permit. Bakersfield Concrete identifies what applies for each job and handles the permit process accordingly.
