CONCRETE REMOVAL AND DEMOLITION IN OAKLAND COUNTY, LIVINGSTON COUNTY AND WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN
Before new concrete can go in, the old material has to come out. All American Cement handles complete concrete removal and demolition for driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, and slabs throughout Oakland County and Wayne County. We break it up, haul it away, and have the site ready for the new pour. You deal with one company for the entire job, from demo to finished product.
Old Concrete Removed Right
Concrete removal is labor-intensive work that requires the right equipment and proper disposal. All American Cement handles the full process: breaking up the existing slab, loading it out, and hauling it off your property. We do not leave debris on-site or ask you to arrange your own disposal. When the demo work is done, the area is clean and prepped for whatever comes next.
What We Remove
All American Cement removes the following types of concrete for residential properties throughout Oakland County and Wayne County:
Concrete driveways and approaches
Concrete patios and slab areas
Concrete sidewalks and walkways
Concrete steps and stoops
Concrete slabs, pads, and foundations
Old garage floors and interior slabs
If you have a concrete structure you need removed and are not sure whether it falls into one of these categories, call DuWayne will give you a straight answer.
Full Removal, Hauling and Site Prep Included
A lot of homeowners are surprised to find that some contractors will remove the concrete but leave the debris for the homeowner to deal with. That is not how All American Cement operates. Our removal service includes:
- Full breaking and demolition of the existing concrete
- Loading and hauling all material off your property
- Site grading and sub-base prep if a new pour is to follow
- Cleanup of the work area before we leave
If you are replacing your driveway, patio, sidewalk, or steps, we handle the removal and the new pour as a single project. You get one estimate, one crew, and one company responsible for the outcome.
Why Proper Concrete Removal Matters
Skipping or rushing the removal process creates problems down the line. Concrete that is not fully removed, or a sub-base that is not properly graded and compacted after removal, leads to uneven settling, drainage issues, and premature cracking in the new slab. All American Cement treats the removal and site prep as the foundation of the entire project, not as a step to get through quickly.
That attention to what happens under the slab is part of why concrete work done by All American Cement holds up for decades instead of failing within a few years.
Do You Need Concrete Removal Before a New Pour?
In most cases, yes. While it is sometimes possible to pour new concrete over an existing surface, this approach is generally not recommended for driveways, patios, or sidewalks. Pouring over existing concrete without addressing the base can lead to cracking, heaving, and poor long-term performance. A full removal and fresh pour gives you a clean foundation and a result you can count on.
If your existing concrete is in an unusual situation, DuWayne Fulcher will assess it during the estimate visit and give you an honest recommendation on the best approach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Removal
How much does concrete removal cost in Oakland County?
Concrete removal pricing depends on the size of the slab, the thickness of the material, the accessibility of the site, and whether additional grading is needed after removal. All American Cement provides free written estimates. Call or text (248) 224-6051 to schedule yours.
How long does concrete removal take?
Most residential concrete removal jobs are completed in a single day. Larger slabs or projects with difficult site access may take longer. We give you a clear timeline during the estimate visit so you know what to expect before work begins.
Can you pour new concrete the same day you remove the old concrete?
In most cases, removal and the new pour happen on separate days. After removal, the sub-base needs to be inspected, graded, and compacted before forming begins. Rushing that process risks problems with the new slab. All American Cement will give you a full project schedule upfront that accounts for removal, base prep, and the pour.
Do you remove concrete from tight or difficult-to-access areas?
Yes. DuWayne Fulcher will assess the site access during the estimate visit and plan the removal approach accordingly. If the area is narrow, enclosed, or difficult for larger equipment, we adjust our process to get the job done without damage to surrounding areas.
What happens to the concrete after it is removed?
Concrete debris is loaded and hauled off your property as part of our standard removal service. Old concrete is typically recycled as aggregate material. You do not need to arrange disposal separately.
