Driveway and patio removal
Set clear limits and protect the concrete or landscaping that will remain.
Removing old concrete is the first stage of many replacement projects. West Palm Concrete Solutions helps define removal limits, access and disposal for driveways, patios, slabs and other concrete areas.
Close property lines, buried services and nearby surfaces can change the removal approach. We discuss what needs protecting and what condition the site should be left in. Hauling away broken concrete does not automatically include preparing a new base or placing replacement concrete.
Confirm the location of utilities and any required approvals before demolition. Equipment access and debris handling should suit the property. Where the work prepares for replacement, define the handover elevation and responsibilities.
Confirm the property jurisdiction and exact scope before construction. West Palm Beach limits its minor-work exemption; structural work and work in flood-hazard areas are excluded, and any applicable exemption needs city approval before work begins.
City permit scope and exemption guidance.
Local context: West Palm Beach airport climate normals and City engineering resources. The airport's 1991–2020 rainfall normal is 61.75 inches a year; actual site conditions vary.
Removal is appropriate when concrete must make way for replacement, utilities or a new layout. Identify the next construction stage so cleanup and base preparation responsibilities are clear.
Confirm what is removed and which adjacent features remain.
Coordinate utilities, equipment routes and debris handling.
Complete agreed hauling, cleanup and any separately specified preparation.
Concrete thickness, reinforcement, volume, equipment access and disposal requirements affect the quote. Replacement preparation should be priced as an identified scope item.

Only when that work is included in the written scope. Demolition, base preparation and new concrete are separate items.
Selected sections can be considered, with removal limits and adjacent concrete protection reviewed first.
Discuss equipment access, vehicles and movable items with the contractor. Utilities and permanent features need planned protection.
The work area, preparation, selected materials or finish, exclusions and return-to-use instructions should be clear. Ask who is responsible for any applicable approvals and inspections.
