Concrete Removal & Demolition in Whitby
We break out and haul away old driveways, patios, walkways, steps and slabs across Whitby. Near Port Whitby and the downtown core the ground is a high-water-table shoreline plain. In Brooklin, a widening that reaches the street can need a curb-cut permit from the Town, and we plan the tear-out around it. Quotes are free and written.

Whitby has two kinds of ground. Down near Port Whitby and the downtown core, the land is the Lake Iroquois shoreline plain, where the water table sits close under the surface. Up in Brooklin, the soil firms up into clay-loam till. See our Whitby page for everything else we do in town.
The removal follows our usual method: utility locates before any machine digs, saw cuts where old concrete meets concrete that stays, mesh and rebar cut free, and the old concrete sent to a recycler, not a landfill. The full method is on our concrete removal and demolition page. This page covers what Whitby ground and Whitby homes change about that job.
Old Whitby and Port Whitby: older slabs and steps
The streets toward the harbour hold pre-war brick homes on original foundations, with steps and walks that have moved over the decades. When a slab has heaved or sunk, we break it out and haul it away.
If the work is beside the foundation, see basement waterproofing in Whitby.
Brooklin and the newer surveys: tear-out for a wider driveway
In Brooklin and the newer surveys, a driveway widening can start with taking the old slab out. The Town of Whitby says a widened driveway must follow its Zoning By-law and its Road Occupancy and Municipal Access By-law. If the widening reaches the boulevard, you apply to the Town for a curb-cut permit.
See concrete driveways in Whitby and concrete patios in Whitby for what goes back in.
Booking removal in Whitby
Whitby is on the Durham lakeshore, a long way from our southwest Ontario routes. We group Whitby jobs into planned trips east and give you a real date, not a same-week promise.
A small machine needs about a 36 inch gate. Where it cannot get through, the concrete is broken by hand and carried out, which takes longer. We reply to every request within one business day.
Straight answers
Do I need a permit to take out and widen my driveway in Whitby?
If the widening reaches the boulevard, the Town of Whitby asks for a curb-cut permit application, with a sketch of the curb cut and its dimensions. The widening must also follow the Town's Zoning By-law and its Road Occupancy and Municipal Access By-law.
Can you take out concrete in a backyard with a narrow gate?
Yes. Our smallest machines clear about a 36 inch gate. If there is no machine access, we break the concrete by hand and carry it out. It takes longer.
How much does concrete removal cost in Whitby?
We do not post a flat rate that would only mislead you. You get a free written quote, and the number on the quote is the number you pay unless you change the job.
What happens to the old concrete?
Clean concrete goes to a recycler and is crushed into road base. The mesh and rebar are cut free.
