Concrete Demolition & Hauling

Get the Old Concrete Out of Your Crew’s Way

Before the next pour or site improvement, the existing concrete needs to go. Demolition includes more than breaking it up—debris needs loading and hauling to clear the work area.

Lucas Excavating handles concrete demolition and hauling throughout Sterling Heights and Metro Detroit. Contractors can bring us in for removal alone or include grading and replacement work, keeping those connected stages under one scope.

Concrete Removal That Supports Your Next Step

Driveways, patios, sidewalks, slabs, and leftover foundations each present different removal needs. Concrete thickness, below-ground sections, and equipment access affect how the work is approached. A site visit helps establish what needs to come out and how the area should be left. That gives your crew a defined starting point for its own work.

Concrete Breaking & Removal


Demolition of unwanted concrete surfaces, slabs, and foundation remnants to clear the project area. Removal limits are planned around what needs to stay and what comes next.

Concrete Loading & Hauling


Loading and hauling of demolished concrete so your crew isn’t left arranging a separate debris-removal job. Hauling can be coordinated with recycling through Mound Road Crush Concrete.

Grading & Concrete Replacement


Ground preparation and grading after removal to prepare for the next phase. Formwork and replacement pouring can also be included when Lucas is handling the new concrete.

Concrete Recycling Through Mound Road

Lucas Excavating works closely with Mound Road Crush Concrete, a sister business that processes demolished concrete into recycled aggregate products such as 21A and 1×3.

For contractors handling their own hauling, Mound Road offers concrete drop-off and recycled base material pickup in the same visit. That combines removing the old material and collecting supplies for the next stage into one stop.

Know What’s Included in the Removal Estimate

Square footage and concrete thickness affect the amount of material to break up, load, and haul. Foundations or rat walls extending below ground can add excavation and removal work beyond the visible surface.

Equipment access and the required cleanup also shape the scope. A firsthand review helps identify those needs, while we research permit requirements for the project and location.
