What needs to be done to get rid of my old driveway/ sidewalk/ patio?

It is best to coordinate with the concrete contractor who is re-pouring the slab. If you are not re-pouring, let us know when we come to bid the job. The price of the job will depend on access, as harder access will require more work. The typical driveway removal for a 4″ thick driveway, with easy access is $1 per square foot. 6″ thick easy access costs $1.50 per square foot. The typical 8″ thick sidewalk will cost $1.75 per square foot. We are happy to work with any concrete contractor, and if you are unsure who to use, we would be happy to recommend several different contractors.
