Concrete & Rock Removal
Breaking Through the Toughest Obstacles in Victoria
From old, cracked driveways to the solid bedrock common across the Island, removing hard materials requires specialized equipment and a precise touch. We offer professional breaking and removal services that turn solid obstacles into a clean, level site ready for your next project.
Our Removal Services Include:
-
Concrete Demolition: Breaking up and removing old driveways, patios, sidewalks, and pool surrounds.
-
Foundation & Footing Removal: Tearing out old concrete foundations or abandoned chimneys.
-
Bedrock Hammering (Hoe Ramming): Using hydraulic breakers to chip away at Victoria’s native bedrock to make room for utility trenches, foundations, or garden beds.
-
Boulder Extraction: Digging out and relocating "glacial erratics" (large buried rocks) that are interfering with your build.
-
Rock Scaling & Clean-up: Clearing loose rock from slopes or preparing a rock face for a retaining wall.
The Right Tools for "The Rock"
Removing rock and concrete in a residential backyard requires a balance of power and precision.
-
Hydraulic Breakers (Hammers): We equip our machines with specialized hydraulic hammers. These allow us to break through reinforced concrete and solid rock far faster and more safely than manual jackhammers.
-
The 17G for Tight-Access Breaking: Most concrete patios are in backyards. Our 17G can fit through your garden gate and break up an old concrete patio right where it sits, saving you the labor of manual demolition.
-
35G / E35 for Heavy Breaking: For thicker concrete slabs or extensive bedrock removal, we use our 3.5-ton machines. They provide the down-pressure needed to break through high-PSI concrete and deep rock veins efficiently.
