Atlas Contracting & Environmental Solutions brings decades of hands-on demolition experience to every concrete removal project in Sheridan, CO and throughout the Denver metro. Whether you need a backyard patio torn out for a new landscape design or an entire commercial foundation demolished ahead of redevelopment, our crew has the heavy equipment, the trained operators, and the safety protocols to get the job done right.
Concrete demolition is not a one-size-fits-all operation. Slab thickness, reinforcement type, proximity to neighboring structures, and subsurface utility placement all factor into the approach we select for each project. Our field supervisors evaluate these variables during an initial site walk so that the plan we execute is matched precisely to the conditions on the ground.
Heavy-Duty Breaking
We deploy hydraulic breakers mounted on excavators and skid steers to fracture reinforced concrete slabs and foundations efficiently. This equipment delivers the tonnage needed to break through 6-inch-plus slabs with embedded rebar while minimizing vibration transfer to adjacent structures. Each machine is selected based on slab thickness and job-site constraints so the work proceeds on schedule without unnecessary force.
Precision Removal
Driveways, patios, sidewalks, and walkways are removed with controlled sawing and sectional breaking to limit impact on surrounding landscaping, irrigation lines, and hardscape features you want to keep. Our operators cut clean edges at the perimeter of the removal zone before breaking interior sections, which prevents cracks from propagating into concrete you are retaining.
Industrial Footings
Commercial and industrial concrete footings often sit deeper and carry heavier reinforcement than residential slabs. Atlas Contracting has the equipment rated for these demands — including excavator-class breakers and concrete shears — and the field experience to handle structural supports, grade beams, and pier caps safely. We coordinate with structural engineers when demolition involves load-bearing elements to ensure sequencing protects the remaining structure.
Dust Suppression
Concrete breaking generates significant airborne particulate. Our crews run continuous water spray systems during all breaking operations, and we use ground-level misting where debris is loaded and staged. These measures protect your property, your neighbors, and our workers while keeping the job compliant with Colorado air quality regulations. Dust control is standard on every Atlas project, not an add-on.
Every concrete removal project begins with a thorough site evaluation. Our field supervisor walks the property, measures the area to be demolished, probes for reinforcement type and slab thickness, and coordinates with Colorado 811 to mark underground utilities. We also document existing conditions — adjacent structures, landscaping, grade elevations — so we can plan equipment staging and debris flow paths that protect your property.
Once the plan is set, we mobilize the right combination of equipment for the job. Skid steers with hammer attachments handle standard slabs. Excavator-mounted breakers tackle thicker reinforced sections. Handheld pneumatic jackhammers are used for detail work near foundations, walls, and utility connections. Concrete saws cut clean perimeter lines before breaking begins, ensuring precise boundaries and preventing uncontrolled cracking.
Atlas Contracting follows a systematic four-phase process on every concrete removal project. This structured approach eliminates guesswork, prevents costly mistakes like severed utility lines or unplanned structural damage, and keeps the project timeline predictable from start to finish.
Broken concrete is loaded directly into our trucks or staged in roll-off containers on site. We transport all material to certified recycling facilities in the Denver metro where it is crushed into aggregate base for road construction and other civil applications. Rebar and wire mesh are separated and sent to metal recyclers. This closed-loop approach keeps demolition waste out of landfills and often reduces overall project cost compared to traditional disposal methods.
After all concrete and debris have been removed, our crew grades the exposed subbase to a smooth, even surface. Whether you are preparing the area for a new concrete pour, asphalt paving, landscaping, or simply restoring a yard, we leave the site ready for the next phase of construction. Proper grading prevents drainage problems and gives your contractor or landscaper a clean starting point.
When you hire Atlas Contracting for concrete removal in Sheridan and the Denver metro, you are working with an EPA Lead-Safe Certified contractor that holds federal credentials including DUNS 117517457 and CAGE CODE 62FR3. We bring the same discipline and documentation standards from our government and commercial projects to every residential job.
Certification No. NAT-F222667 ensures safe handling of older concrete structures that may contain lead-based coatings or adjacent hazardous materials. Our crews follow EPA RRP protocols on every demolition project where pre-1978 materials are present.
We recycle over 95 percent of demolished concrete into reusable aggregate, keeping material out of landfills. Steel reinforcement is separated and sent to metal recyclers. This responsible approach reduces your disposal costs and supports sustainable construction practices in Colorado.
Our four-phase process — assess, break, haul, grade — keeps projects on track. We arrive with the right equipment for the job so there is no downtime waiting on machinery. Most residential driveways and patios are completed in one to two days from start to finish.
Atlas Contracting serves Sheridan, Englewood, Littleton, Lakewood, Aurora, Denver, and communities throughout the greater Front Range. Our equipment fleet is staged for rapid deployment to residential, commercial, and municipal job sites. Whether you need a single sidewalk section removed or a full parking structure demolished, we scale our crew and machinery to match the scope.
Local building departments across the metro have different requirements for demolition permits, utility disconnects, and erosion control. Our project managers are familiar with the specific regulations in each jurisdiction and handle permitting legwork so you can focus on the next phase of your project. We coordinate with Colorado 811 for every job to ensure underground utilities are marked before any equipment breaks ground.

"This is an honest place. There are so many disreputable companies out there in this industry, but Atlas is not one of them. Quick work, proper abatement to prevent contamination, and friendly service all come with the fairly priced Atlas contract. Nobody wants to have this work done because it usually means things have gone sideways in your home. That said, if you do, call Atlas Contracting and Environmental Solutions; the company is ACES!!!"

"We had a roof leak in our kitchen caused by a roofer. Rob came out right away and assessed the issue and worked with myself and the roofer. That day he had made a plan for how the job would go, and began setting up equipment to keep my family safe. He walked me through every step of how the job would go and kept my husband and I informed throughout the process. He made sure that the toddler and newborn in my home would be safe throughout the entire demo process. I cannot recommend this company enough."

Common questions about concrete demolition services in Sheridan, CO and the Denver metro area.
Concrete removal pricing in Sheridan depends on several factors including the total square footage of the area, the thickness of the concrete slab, whether the concrete is reinforced with rebar or wire mesh, and site accessibility. A standard 4-inch residential driveway slab costs less per square foot than a 6-inch reinforced commercial pad. We provide free on-site estimates so you get an accurate figure based on your specific conditions. Our team measures the area, checks for reinforcement, and evaluates equipment access before quoting. This ensures there are no surprise costs once work begins.
The average cost to demolish concrete in the Sheridan and greater Denver metro area depends on the total scope of the project. Estimates include equipment mobilization, labor, debris hauling, and disposal or recycling fees. A small patio removal will run considerably less than a full commercial foundation demolition. We factor in concrete thickness, rebar density, proximity to structures that need protection, and any required dust suppression measures. Contact Atlas Contracting for a detailed written estimate tailored to your project.
Yes, Atlas Contracting provides full-service concrete removal that includes hauling and environmentally responsible disposal. After breaking the concrete, our crew loads the debris into trucks or roll-off dumpsters and transports it to certified recycling facilities where it is crushed and repurposed as aggregate base material. This keeps waste out of landfills and often reduces disposal costs. We coordinate all logistics so you do not need to arrange separate hauling or dumpster rentals.
Absolutely. Our operators are trained in precision concrete removal adjacent to foundations, retaining walls, utility lines, and other structures that must remain intact. We use controlled slab sawing to create clean separation lines and employ low-vibration hydraulic breakers where necessary to prevent damage to neighboring structures. Before starting, we assess soil conditions and structural loads to determine the safest approach. This careful methodology protects your property while still allowing efficient removal.
Most residential driveway removals in Sheridan are completed within one to two days depending on the size and thickness of the slab. A standard two-car driveway with 4-inch unreinforced concrete can typically be broken, loaded, and hauled in a single day. Reinforced slabs or larger areas may extend the timeline slightly. Our crews arrive with the right equipment — skid steers, hydraulic hammers, and dump trucks — so there is no wasted time waiting on machinery. We also handle final grading so the area is ready for new construction or landscaping.
Permit requirements for concrete removal in Sheridan and the surrounding Denver metro area vary by municipality and scope of work. Removing a residential patio or walkway typically does not require a permit, while larger demolition projects involving structural elements, proximity to property lines, or utility relocations may need city approval. Atlas Contracting handles permit research and utility locates as part of our project planning. We coordinate with Colorado 811 for underground utility marking before any breaking begins, ensuring full compliance with local regulations.
Yes, reinforced concrete removal is one of our core capabilities. Rebar-reinforced slabs and foundations require specialized cutting and breaking equipment including hydraulic shears, concrete saws, and high-powered breakers. Our crews separate the steel reinforcement from the concrete during demolition, allowing both materials to be recycled independently. Steel rebar is sent to metal recycling facilities while the concrete goes to aggregate processors. This approach is both cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
Atlas Contracting deploys a range of professional-grade equipment for concrete demolition. Our primary tools include skid steers fitted with hydraulic hammer attachments for medium to large slabs, excavator-mounted breakers for heavy structural concrete, and handheld pneumatic jackhammers for detail work in tight spaces. We also use concrete saws for controlled cuts along expansion joints or separation lines. Dust suppression systems including water sprays run continuously during operations to maintain air quality and protect neighboring properties.
