Concrete Driveway Removal & Replacement

Driveway Replacement & Removal — West Metro Twin Cities, MN

Expert concrete driveway removal and replacement that clears out your cracked, sunken slab and installs a durable new driveway built to last for decades.

Homeowners across the region trust our licensed, insured crews to replace failing driveways with clean, level, long-lasting concrete.

• Full-depth demolition and haul-off. We break out the old slab with skid steers and hydraulic breakers, then haul all debris to licensed recycling facilities.
• Proper subgrade preparation. Our crews compact the subbase with plate compactors and add crushed aggregate to prevent future settling and slab movement.
• Reinforced concrete installation. We pour 4,000 PSI air-entrained concrete over rebar or wire mesh, meeting ACI 330 standards for residential pavements.
• Precision finishing and jointing. We float, edge, and broom-finish every driveway, then cut control joints at correct spacing to manage cracking.
• Curing and sealing protection. We apply curing compound immediately after finishing and offer penetrating sealers that guard against freeze-thaw damage and deicing salts.

Why choose Legacy

Concrete driveway removal and replacement demands more than a truck and a trowel. It requires trained finishers, proper equipment, and a contractor who stands behind the pour. Legacy Concrete General Services brings all three to every project.

Our crews carry decades of combined flatwork experience. We hold full licensing and liability insurance, and our finishers train on ACI guidelines for residential concrete. That knowledge shows up in the details: correct slab thickness, adequate slope for drainage, and control joints placed where they belong.

We give you a firm written estimate before work begins. No vague allowances. No surprise charges after demolition. If we find soft subgrade or buried debris once the old driveway comes out, we walk you through the options and price the fix before we proceed.

Every replacement driveway we install carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. We return promptly if a problem tied to our installation appears, and we repair it at no cost to you.

Scheduling stays tight because we run our own demolition and pouring crews. You won't wait weeks between tear-out and pour while subcontractors juggle calendars. Most standard driveways go from demolition to finished concrete in two to four days, with vehicle access restored after a full seven-day cure.

Top-rated reviews, transparent pricing, and qualified finishers. That's the Legacy difference.

Signs it's the right call

1. Widespread cracking across multiple slab sections. Hairline cracks are cosmetic. Cracks wider than a quarter inch that run through several panels signal subgrade failure or an undersized pour. Patching spreads the problem instead of solving it.
2. Slab settlement and uneven panels. When sections sink below adjacent panels, water pools and trip hazards form. Mudjacking can lift a slab temporarily, but recurring settlement points to a failed subbase that only full replacement corrects.
3. Spalling and surface scaling. Freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts flake away the top layer of concrete, exposing aggregate. Once spalling covers more than a third of the surface, resurfacing products won't bond reliably, and replacement delivers better long-term value.
4. Heaving at joints and edges. Tree roots, expansive clay soils, and frost heave push slabs upward and misalign panels. Heaved concrete cracks under vehicle loads and damages tires and suspensions over time.
5. Drainage failures toward your foundation. A driveway that slopes toward your house channels stormwater against the foundation, inviting basement leaks and soil erosion. Replacement lets us regrade the subbase and pour new concrete with proper positive drainage away from the structure.

If your driveway shows two or more of these symptoms, call us for a free assessment. We'll tell you honestly whether repair or full concrete driveway replacement makes better financial sense for your property.

Our process

1. Site assessment and estimateWe measure the driveway, inspect the existing slab and drainage, check for utilities, and deliver a detailed written quote.
2. Demolition and removalOur crew saw-cuts along adjacent structures to protect them, breaks out the old slab with hydraulic breakers, and loads all debris for recycling.
3. Subgrade preparationWe grade the exposed soil, correct soft spots, spread crushed aggregate base, and compact everything in lifts to build a stable foundation.
4. Forming and reinforcementWe set forms to establish final grade and slope, then place rebar or welded wire mesh on chairs so reinforcement sits properly within the slab.
5. Pour and finishWe place 4,000 PSI concrete, screed it level, bull float the surface, and apply a broom finish for traction. Control joints get cut at engineered spacing.
6. Cure and sealCuring compound goes on the same day. We remove forms, backfill edges, and clear the site. Foot traffic resumes in 24 to 48 hours; vehicles return after seven days.

You get progress updates at every stage, and a final walkthrough confirms the work meets our standards and yours.
