Twin Cities Concrete Demolition handles demolition, concrete removal, and asphalt tear-out across Bloomington. From the postwar ramblers of East Bloomington to the lake-side homes around French Lake and Bush Lake, we tear out the aging concrete and asphalt that's reached end-of-life and leave your property ready for the next phase.
A huge chunk of Bloomington was built between the 1950s and 1970s, which means a massive number of driveways, garages, and patios in the city are now 50–70 years old. That concrete is at the end of its useful life — cracking, heaving, and starting to fail. The good news is most of these homes have open suburban lots with great access for our equipment, so removal is fast and clean.
We've torn out concrete and asphalt all over Bloomington — driveways near Penn Lake, garage slabs in Old Cedar, commercial pad demos along American Boulevard and Lyndale. Most residential jobs finish in a single day. Same-day estimates, same-week scheduling, licensed and insured for all of Hennepin County.
Whatever the job is — driveway, garage, patio, slab, full site — we tear it out, haul it off, and leave you with a clean property. One call, one crew, done.
Bloomington is one of the easier metro suburbs to work in — most properties have open lots, wide driveways, and direct equipment access. We can usually drive a skid steer right up to the work. That said, a lot of the original 1950s–70s concrete has unknown thickness or was poured in stages over the decades.
We start with a site walk to check slab condition, look for visible reinforcement, and identify the cleanest equipment path. If any partial cuts are needed — for example, preserving a section near the garage or sidewalk — a concrete saw scores the break line. From there, a skid steer with a breaker attachment chunks the slab fast. Bloomington's open lots mean material loads directly into our dump trailer without extra hauling.
After the slab is out, we do a final sweep for rebar, aggregate, and stray pieces. We can grade and level the subbase if you need it. Older Bloomington driveways sometimes hide soft spots from decades of seasonal shifting — we flag what we see so your concrete contractor knows what they're walking into for the new pour.
Everything hauls off the same day in our own dump trailers. No dumpster cluttering your property, no piles on the lawn. Most residential Bloomington jobs are completely cleared in three to six hours.
Most residential demolition and concrete removal in Bloomington runs $3–$8 per square foot for concrete or $2–$5 per square foot for asphalt. A typical two-car driveway falls between $1,200 and $2,400. Residential garage demos run $1,500–$3,500 depending on size, slab condition, and whether reinforcement is present.
Slab thickness drives a lot of the cost. The original 1950s and '60s concrete in Bloomington is usually 4 inches with light wire mesh, which breaks out fast. Driveways that were used as parking pads for heavy vehicles or commercial trucks sometimes turned out to be 6 inches with proper rebar, which slows the work and pushes toward the higher end of the range.
Access in Bloomington is almost always favorable. Wide open suburban lots, paved driveways, and direct skid-steer paths to the work area keep jobs moving fast. Tight cases — for example, a hot tub deep in a fenced backyard — cost more because the material has to be hand-loaded out. We walk every site before quoting so the number you get reflects the real conditions.
For most concrete or asphalt removal on private property in Bloomington, no permit is required from the city. You're removing existing material — the demo itself doesn't trigger permitting. The exception is anything that interfaces with the public right-of-way: the apron where your driveway meets the street, sidewalks the city maintains, or any change to the curb cut.
If your project involves removing a garage, an outbuilding, a deck, or anything with a foundation, the City of Bloomington Building & Inspection Division will typically require a demolition permit before work begins. The fee is modest and the turnaround is usually a few days. We can coordinate with your contractor or handle the application directly depending on the job — let us know during the estimate.
Bloomington also requires a Right-of-Way permit through Public Works for any work that affects the apron, sidewalk, or curb. If you're widening or relocating the driveway, that permit attaches to the new construction (your concrete or asphalt contractor pulls it). For straight removal-and-replacement in the same footprint, you generally don't need it.

Yes — this is one of the most common jobs we do in Bloomington. A lot of the original mid-century concrete is at end-of-life. Older slabs sometimes have inconsistent thickness or hidden reinforcement, but our equipment handles all of it. Most are out in a single day.
Yes. Every garage demolition we do includes the slab unless you ask otherwise. We tear down the structure, break out the foundation slab, and haul everything off the same day. You're left with bare graded soil ready for the next build or a backfill.
We minimize impact on grass and landscaping. Our skid steers run on rubber tracks rather than wheels, which is significantly gentler on turf. Some minor edge disturbance is normal. We leave the site as clean as possible and flag any concerns during the walk-through.
Yes. We do commercial concrete, asphalt, and structural strip-outs across Bloomington — including office, retail, and light industrial sites. We can scope by section so part of your property stays operational during demo if needed.
