Driveway removal in Jonestown, PA

Concrete removal typically costs more than asphalt removal because concrete is harder to break, especially when it contains rebar or wire mesh reinforcement. Asphalt is softer and breaks into manageable pieces faster, which affects the overall labor involved for homeowners in Jonestown and across Lebanon County.

We haul all broken asphalt and concrete off your property using our dump trailers. Removed concrete and asphalt can be processed at facilities that recycle them into aggregate or use them as clean fill, which is recognized under Pennsylvania DEP guidelines for uncontaminated concrete and masonry.

Driveway removal is a standalone service at S&A Contracting LLC. Homeowners in Harrisburg, Hershey, and across the region sometimes need the old surface taken out first before deciding on a replacement material or timeline.

Concrete slabs are denser and often contain embedded steel reinforcement, which requires hydraulic breaking equipment and more loading effort before the material can be hauled. Asphalt driveways break apart more readily, though thick or multi-layer asphalt still calls for excavator work rather than hand tools.

Once the surface material is removed and hauled away, the exposed subgrade can be inspected for soft spots, drainage issues, or failed base material that would undermine any new surface installed later. This is especially relevant in Lebanon County, where clay-heavy soil can trap water beneath a driveway and weaken the base over time.
