How We Remove a Blacktop Driveway

We cut clean edges around the driveway, then break up the surface with heavy equipment. The broken material is loaded out and hauled away.

Once the driveway is clear, we grade the exposed base so it's ready for whatever you're doing next.

Why Homeowners Remove Their Driveway

  • Prepping for a full driveway replacement
  • Switching to a different material, like pavers, gravel, or concrete
  • A base that's failed beyond what patching can fix
  • Expanding or reconfiguring the driveway's layout
