Asphalt removal
Removing failed asphalt from parking areas, roads and driveways.
TEAR-OUTS / REMOVAL / RECONSTRUCTION
Asphalt and concrete tear-outs. Start over on solid ground.
When pavement has failed past the point of repair, it has to come out. Our team removes old asphalt and concrete, corrects the base and gets the site ready for new pavement.

01 / WHEN IT HAS TO GO
Some pavement cannot be saved.
Milling and overlays work when the base is sound. When the base has failed, the cracking is everywhere and patches keep breaking, putting new asphalt on top only hides the problem for a short time. A full tear-out removes the old pavement so the base can be fixed and the new surface built properly.
Our team handles the removal as part of the full project, so the tear-out, base work and new paving are planned by the same people.
02 / WHAT’S INCLUDED
What our team handles.
Every proposal is written for the property. Typical scope items include:
Concrete removal
Breaking out and removing failed slabs, curbs, sidewalks and pads.
Hauling and cleanup
Hauling removed material off site and leaving a clean work area.
Base inspection and correction
Checking the exposed base and correcting soft or failed areas.
Partial or full removal
Removing only the failed sections, or the entire lot, depending on condition.
New pavement
Moving directly into new asphalt or concrete once the base is ready.
03 / GULF COAST CONDITIONS
Wet bases and storm damage.
In a wet climate, a failed base is often saturated and soft. Storms, flooding and heavy trucks after a disaster can also leave pavement beyond repair. Our team checks what is underneath once the old pavement is out, and plans the work so an open excavation is not left exposed to rain longer than it has to be.
Our team brings a combination of 50+ years of experience to that planning.

BEFORE THE WORK
Clear answers.
A defined scope.
How do I know if my lot needs a tear-out?
Widespread alligator cracking, repeated pothole failures and soft areas usually mean the base has failed. Our team will tell you honestly whether an overlay could still work.
Do you only remove pavement?
Our team does tear-outs as part of rebuilding the area, so removal, base work and new pavement are planned together.
Can part of the lot stay open?
Usually, yes. Work can be phased so part of the property stays usable.
What happens to the old asphalt?
Removed material is hauled off site. Ask our team about how it is handled for your project.
Is a tear-out more expensive than an overlay?
Up front, usually yes, because there is more work. But when the base has failed, an overlay often cracks and fails again quickly, so a tear-out can cost less over the life of the pavement. Our team explains the trade-off for your property in writing.
Can you remove concrete as well as asphalt?
Yes. Our team removes failed concrete pads, curbs, sidewalks and slabs as well as asphalt, and plans the replacement for each area.
START WITH THE PROPERTY
Put the right plan
under your pavement.
Tell our team about the property. Photos, an approximate size and your timing help us define the work.
- 01Share the property. Address, property type and what needs to change.
- 02Review the conditions. Our team reviews access, pavement condition, drainage and use.
- 03Define the scope. A clear written proposal with preparation, materials and work limits.
