Break-up + haul-off
Breaking out old concrete without breaking the yard
Site inspection, break-up, haul-off for recycling and cleanup, for homes, commercial and industrial sites.
What the old slab has been sitting on
Nobody knows exactly what is under a driveway or patio until it comes up. Cheryl Badger had her driveway removed and replaced, and a fairly significant water leak turned up when the old concrete came out. She wrote that the crew was responsive and agile when the issue appeared, and that the new driveway is absolutely beautiful.
That is why removal at Albert Cruz Jr Concrete starts with a site inspection instead of a swing of the hammer. Albert looks at the slab, what it touches and where the water runs, then calls you to set a time to see the property. No two slabs are alike, so no two quotes are, and none are published.

Break-up, haul-off and recycling
After the inspection, the work is demolition, waste disposal and cleanup, handled as one job. The old concrete is broken up, loaded and hauled away, and it goes for recycling instead of sitting in a side yard waiting for someone to deal with it.
The same crew takes out slabs at homes, at commercial properties and at industrial sites. A cracked patio in Encinitas and a bigger commercial pad follow the same order of work: look first, take it out cleanly, haul it off and leave the ground ready for whatever comes next.
Taking the slab out and leaving the yard in place
Demolition is heavy work, and the ground around it is somebody's lawn, planter beds and sprinklers. Protecting the yard and landscaping is part of how the removal is planned, not something patched up afterward.
Customers notice the cleanup. Scott, who had a large patio and sidewalk with drainage poured, wrote that the crew cleaned up after themselves, and Titus Reed called them hard working and always on time. Those are pour jobs, not removals, but they describe the same crew.
When a slab or a hillside can't wait
Andie Goode's Google review tells the short version: Albert came out the same day, bulldozed a hill to get to a broken pipe and fixed it. That is one customer's experience, not a promise of a schedule, but it shows how the company moves when something is urgent.
Albert holds California CSLB license #601184, a C-8 Concrete Contractor license issued in 1990, and the company is insured and bonded. If you have a slab to take out anywhere from San Marcos to Oceanside, call (760) 716-4142, Mon-Sat 7am-5pm, and describe what you are looking at.

What goes down once the old slab is gone
★★★★★
“Albert was awesome. He came out the same day to bulldoze a hill to get to and fix a broken pipe. He saved the day plus was super affordable.”
Once the old concrete is gone, most people want something poured in its place. See how driveways and patios get formed and finished, or describe your project and Albert will call you back.
