Concrete Demolition & Removal in Sioux Falls, SD
Driveway removal, patio removal, and slab breaking and hauling to clear the way for your next project.
Before a new driveway, patio, or slab can go in, the old one often needs to come out. Sioux Falls Concrete Inc handles concrete demolition and removal, breaking, hauling, and disposing of old driveways, patios, slabs, and old footings for homeowners throughout Sioux Falls and Minnehaha County. We follow standard South Dakota disposal and recycling practices, so old concrete doesn’t just end up in a landfill unnecessarily.

South Dakota Disposal Rules & Concrete Recycling
Concrete recycling is standard practice throughout South Dakota, and most removed concrete gets crushed and reused as aggregate base material rather than sent to a landfill, which is both the more common and more environmentally responsible disposal path here. We haul removed concrete to approved recycling facilities as a standard part of the job. Rebar and wire mesh embedded in old concrete gets separated out during the breaking process, since metal reinforcement can’t go through a standard concrete recycler and needs to be handled separately for scrap disposal. If your removal project includes an old stump or footing left behind from a removed structure, we can typically clear that as part of the same scope of work.
What Drives Your Price
| Factor | How It Affects Cost |
|---|---|
| Slab size and thickness | Larger, thicker slabs take more time and equipment to break and haul. |
| Access for equipment | Backyard or hard-to-reach slabs may require more manual labor versus machine access. |
| Reinforcement present | Heavily reinforced concrete takes more time to break and separate rebar/mesh. |
| Full vs. partial removal | Removing an entire slab is more straightforward than carefully removing just a section. |
| Disposal/haul distance | Distance to the nearest recycling facility can affect hauling cost. |
Demolition and removal is typically priced as part of a larger project scope, but we’ll give you a clear, itemized estimate whether it’s standalone or bundled with new concrete work.

Concrete Demolition & Removal FAQs
What happens to the concrete after it’s removed?
Removed concrete is typically hauled to an approved recycling facility and crushed for reuse as aggregate base material, rather than sent to a landfill. This is standard practice throughout South Dakota and the more environmentally responsible disposal path.
Is removal included in a new driveway or patio quote, or is it extra?
It depends on the project, sometimes removal is bundled into a full replacement quote, and sometimes it’s priced as a separate line item. We’ll always be clear about which applies to your specific estimate before work starts.
Can you do a partial removal instead of tearing out an entire slab?
Yes, if only a section of a driveway, patio, or walkway needs to come out for a repair or targeted replacement, we can often remove just that section rather than the whole slab.
Can you remove an old stump or footing left from a removed structure?
Yes, this is typically part of the same scope of work if you’re clearing a site for a new project, we’ll assess it during your site visit.
How long does demolition and removal take?
Timeline depends on slab size, thickness, and site access. Smaller residential removals often take a day or less, while larger driveways or commercial areas take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your estimate.
