Concrete and Asphalt Removal and Site Prep

FG Excavation LLC removes concrete and asphalt surfaces and prepares sites for new paving in Wenatchee, Washington.

Your driveway is cracked and settling, your concrete pad is uneven, or you need to remove an old asphalt surface before new paving can begin in Wenatchee. The work requires breaking up the existing surface, hauling away debris, and preparing a stable base that will support the new concrete or asphalt for years without sinking or shifting. FG Excavation LLC handles removal and site preparation for driveways, walkways, patios, and access roads, working with paving and concrete contractors to keep projects on schedule and built to last.

Concrete and asphalt removal involves cutting or breaking the surface into manageable pieces, loading debris into trucks, and hauling it off-site. Site preparation includes grading the base, adding or compacting aggregate material, and ensuring proper drainage so water does not pool or erode the new surface. FG Excavation LLC coordinates with paving crews and adjusts methods based on job size, access, and whether the project is residential or commercial. The company handles both planned replacements and emergency removal when a damaged surface becomes unsafe.

If you need concrete or asphalt removed and your site prepared for new paving, contact FG Excavation LLC to schedule an estimate and discuss your project timeline.

What Proper Base Preparation Looks Like

Your concrete or asphalt removal in Wenatchee begins with breaking up the existing surface using equipment sized for the job, whether that means a small residential walkway or a larger commercial parking area. Debris is loaded and hauled to an approved disposal site, and the exposed base is inspected for soft spots, drainage issues, or poor compaction that could affect the new surface.

Once the old material is removed, you will see a graded and compacted base, often with fresh aggregate added to correct elevation or improve drainage. The surface is smooth, stable, and ready for the paving or concrete contractor to begin their work. Proper base preparation extends the lifespan of your new driveway, walkway, or pad by preventing settling, cracking, and water infiltration.

FG Excavation LLC uses excavators, skid steers, and compaction equipment to match the scope of your project. The company works efficiently to minimize downtime and coordinates closely with paving contractors to ensure the base meets specifications. Emergency removal is available when a damaged surface poses a safety hazard or blocks access, and debris hauling is included in the service. The company does not pour concrete or lay asphalt but prepares the site so those contractors can deliver a long-lasting result.

Here Is What People Usually Ask

Homeowners and property managers often want to know about timing, cost, and what happens between removal and repaving, so here are answers to the most common concerns.

How long does it take to remove a residential driveway and prepare the base?
Most residential driveways in Wenatchee are removed and prepped in one to two days, depending on size, thickness, and access. Larger commercial jobs take longer but follow the same process.
What happens if the base underneath my old concrete is unstable?
The unstable material is removed and replaced with compacted aggregate, and drainage is corrected if needed. Skipping this step leads to premature cracking and settling in the new surface.
Why is proper base compaction important for asphalt and concrete?
Compaction prevents the base from shifting or settling under the weight of vehicles or freeze-thaw cycles. A poorly compacted base will cause the new surface to crack or sink within a few years.
What should I do to prepare my property before concrete or asphalt removal?
Clear vehicles, equipment, and anything stored near the work area. Mark sprinkler lines or other buried utilities if they run near the surface being removed.
How does FG Excavation LLC handle debris from concrete and asphalt removal?
Debris is loaded into trucks and hauled to an approved disposal or recycling site. The site is left clear and ready for the next phase of construction.
