Concrete Driveway Removal & Replacement

A Fresh Start for Your Driveway

You use your driveway every day. You know where the concrete is crumbling, which edges have broken away, and how long you’ve been meaning to do something about it.

Lucas Excavating removes old driveways and replaces them with concrete. A firsthand site visit helps establish what needs to come out, how equipment will reach it, and what preparation is needed.

Removal Through Replacement, With One Contractor

A new driveway takes more than a concrete truck. The old surface needs to come out, debris needs to leave, and the ground needs preparation before forms are set.

Lucas Excavating handles those stages through pouring the replacement, giving you one contractor to coordinate the work. Removal-only service is also available when your plans don’t call for new concrete.

A New Driveway Starts Below the Surface

Removing the old driveway exposes the ground beneath it. Ground preparation provides a base for the replacement concrete, while grading shapes the area and manages how water moves around it.

A firsthand site review considers the driveway’s layout, surrounding ground, and drainage needs. Those details help shape the replacement plan rather than simply putting new concrete where the old surface sat.

An Estimate Based on Your Driveway

Square footage and existing concrete thickness affect how much material needs to be broken up and hauled away. Equipment access and the preparation needed for the replacement also affect the scope.

Seeing the property firsthand helps identify those details and explain what the estimate includes. We research permit requirements for the project and location.

Your Old Concrete Has Somewhere Useful to Go

Lucas Excavating works closely with Mound Road Crush Concrete, a sister business that recycles demolished concrete.

At Mound Road, removed concrete is processed into products such as 21A and 1×3 aggregate. Material removed from an old driveway can become usable base material for another project.
