Anyone do concrete removal?

[opie011]

Looking to have an RV pad/driveway ripped up and replaced with recycled concrete? The approximate dimensions are 50'x11' Please let me know if you know anyone or can give me a price.

Could do it yourself for cheaper by renting a compressor, jack hammer, roll away dumpster, and maybe a demo saw for the rebar, or a skid steer with a bull prick?

Very true but my schedule is crazy and I don't have the time. I have a buddy with the equipment but as that goes, he'll do it when he has free time.

FYI, recycled concrete SUCKS for a finish surface.

It NEVER stops being dusty adn breaking down. It's fine for subsurface, but for a surface it's terrible. 3/4 granite works super well (albeit much more expensive) because it's angular and locks together making a pretty solid surface to walk and park on.

Crushed brick is even worse

Also comes with 2 flat tires in each load.

Recycled asphalt.

This is my first choice but I believe I'd have to order more than I need to have someone deliver? Not sure as I haven't looked/researched a lot yet. I'm going to park either my 5th wheel on it or one of my work trailers.

At 4" deep just a little shy of 7yds, 6" deep just a little over 10yds. Most tandems are 10+ yds, maybe a few 8's making delivery. Check around, maybe get a neighbor to go in on if load minimums. Outfits like Pioneer may not require load minimums but probable charge a little higher rate per yard or delivery fee. Research recycled materials outfits.

If you get pad busted up and have a way to load, recycler you buy asphalt from may haul away concrete.

recycled asphalt sucks too.
it stinks for years and then one day it finally sets up and you can't ever re-grade it. it's like a really crappy old country paved road.

it's fine for base but not finish.

You're just going to have to pay the piper
either re-concrete it. (why are you tearing out concrete to put something back in? just to park a trailer) or get 3/4 granite. (not river rock, it's round, like walking on big sand)

I'm tearing out the concrete because I had two huge cottonwood trees uproot and break it up. I'm not looking or needing something perfect so pouring a new pad is out of the question and I want a cheap solution for example, something more level than upheaved concrete and I could care less if it stinks.
