The Concrete Plant City Needs Gone
Plant City properties carry decades of concrete that outlives its use: cracked and heaved driveways, crumbling patios and pool decks, old shed and mobile-home slabs, sidewalks, and small foundations left after a structure came down. Removing it is the step that has to happen before a new drive, a re-sod, an addition, or a clean sale.
Concrete demolition isn’t a junk-hauling job — it’s breaking dense material, loading serious weight, and disposing of high volume. That's why this work takes an operator with a skid steer, a breaker, and a dump trailer — not a pickup truck and a couple of helpers.

What We Break Out & Haul in Plant City
Driveways & Sidewalks
Cracked, heaved, or settling concrete drives and walkways are broken out and hauled, with the base left graded so a new gravel or concrete surface can go in.
Patios, Pool Decks & Slabs
Backyard patios, pool decks, and shed or equipment slabs removed. The 36-inch skid steer reaches backyard slabs through a standard gate without pulling the fence.
Walls & Residential Foundations
Retaining walls, block walls, and residential-scale foundations and footers broken out and cleared. Rebar and mixed materials are handled and disposed of with the concrete.
Post-Demolition Slab Cleanup
When a shed, carport, or small structure is torn down, the slab underneath comes out in the same job, so the footprint is truly clear.
Three Plant City Realities
Concrete Goes to Its Own Disposal Stream
Broken concrete doesn’t go to a household dump — it routes to a concrete-recycling or clean-fill stream and is charged by the ton, which is why an honest quote depends on measuring slab thickness and square footage up front. In eastern Hillsborough County, routing and demolition permits follow the county process, both factored into the on-site number.
Backyard Pool Decks & Patios Behind the Fence
Pool decks and patios in the Turkey Creek and Walden Lake corridors sit behind fences and narrow side yards. The 36-inch mini skid steer, carrying a breaker, reaches them through a standard gate — so the fence stays up and the surrounding yard isn’t chewed up getting to the slab.
Rebar & Reinforced Slabs
Older Plant City driveways, foundations, and pool decks are often wire-mesh or rebar reinforced. That steel has to be cut and separated as the concrete breaks, which changes how the job runs and how it’s priced. Polk Services works with the reinforced material rather than stopping at the first rebar mat.
How the Job Runs & What It Costs
Priced From a Heavy-Material Minimum
Concrete removal is priced from a $500 minimum per 4 cubic yards for dirt and heavy material, with the final number scaled to slab size, thickness, and access. Verbal on-site quote plus a texted written quote before any breaking begins.
The Polk Services Standard
A written quote up front, a 30-minute arrival heads-up, debris hauled the same visit, and a walk of the cleared ground with Donny before he leaves. No sub-crews, no surprise disposal add-ons.
Payment
Cash, check, card, and electronic payments accepted — a 3.7% surcharge on card and electronic, no surcharge on cash or check.
