Tear-out and replace
Cracked, heaving slab? We break it out, grade the base, set forms and steel, and pour new. Most of our jobs start this way.
Free quotes, early starts
Crews are on site Monday to Friday from 6 AM. Call, text or message us on Facebook and we'll come look at the job.
Tear-Out & Replace
Same Driveway, Before And After
Drag the handle. This is a Des Moines driveway Medina Concrete replaced in October 2026: the old cracked, heaving slab came out, the base was graded, and a new driveway went in with a clean broom finish.
Every tear-out job gets the same treatment: forms set to the right grade, steel in the slab, and a finish that grips in an Iowa winter.
Answer three questions about your driveway, walk or patio. You'll get a straight read on whether it's likely a repair or a tear-out, the same way we'd call it on a walk-through.
Has any slab lifted or sunk, leaving an edge you could trip on?
Do cracks run all the way through and keep getting wider?
Is the surface flaking or pitted across a big area?
We come out, measure, talk through thickness, drainage and access for the mixer truck, and give you a price.
02
Tear-out and grade
The old slab comes out and the base is graded so the new concrete sits on solid ground and sheds water.
03
Forms and steel
Form boards set to grade, then a rebar or wire grid in the slab so it holds together through freeze and thaw.
04
Pour, screed, finish
Ready-mix goes in, gets screeded flat, edged and broom-finished. We tell you exactly when it's safe to walk and drive on.
05
Park on it
About a week later your car goes back on a broom-finished driveway that grips through an Iowa winter.

Driveway tear-out and replace
Old cracked slab out, new driveway in, running from the street to a detached garage. "Always a pleasure working with great people," as the crew put it on Facebook.
A large shop slab poured in one go, floated flat, with a matching apron along the side wall. The kind of light commercial pour we do alongside driveways and patios.
Forms and a full rebar grid in front of a three-car garage, then a broom-finished driveway with the apron tied into the street. Prep is where a driveway is won or lost.
Short answers. For anything else, call or text (515) 771-5721.

Do you tear out the old driveway before pouring a new one?
Yes. Tear-out and replace is most of what we do. We break out the cracked or heaving slab, grade the base, set forms and steel, then pour and broom-finish the new driveway.
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Des Moines?
It depends on square footage, thickness, whether there's an old slab to tear out, and how easy the site is to reach with a mixer truck. We look at every job in person and quote it for free, with no pressure.
Call or text (515) 771-5721 or send the quote form below.
How long before I can walk or drive on new concrete?
As general guidance, keep foot traffic off for about 24 hours and vehicles off a new driveway for about 7 days; concrete keeps gaining strength for roughly 28 days. We give you exact timing for your pour based on the mix and the weather.
