Sanford's concrete comes in three ages
Sanford was incorporated in 1877 on the south shore of Lake Monroe, rebuilt after a fire in 1887, and after the Great Freeze of 1894–95 ruined the citrus crop, farmers turned to vegetables; celery, first planted in 1896, gave it the name Celery City. The Sanford Residential Historic District, listed on the National Register in 1989 with more than 400 historic buildings, comes with old concrete of its own: narrow walks, porch steps, and slabs under detached garages and carports. Farther out are neighborhoods from later decades, and along SR 46 west toward I-4 newer subdivisions have pavers and fresh pours. Thickness, rebar and access vary from one slab to the next, which is why the rate is a range rather than one number.
What to tell the office about a Sanford slab
The rate turns on thickness, rebar and access, and none of those can be read off the age of a house. These are the details worth sending with a quote request.
| Part of Sanford | Worth mentioning | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Historic districts around downtown | Whether the house is in a local historic district, and the width of any side strip or alley | Access and thickness |
| Neighborhoods between downtown and I-4 | Measurements, and the thickness if you know it | Thickness and rebar |
| Subdivisions along SR 46 | Pavers or poured concrete, and whether the HOA has approved the new driveway | Rebar and access |
Historic-district houses: small slabs, narrow access
On an older lot, the concrete behind the house may be reachable only down a narrow strip beside the porch or from an alley. Give the width when you call, since access is part of what sets the price. If the house is in one of Sanford's local historic districts (the Residential, Downtown Commercial or Sanford Avenue district), the city requires a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work, site work included, begins; ask the city's historic preservation staff before the old slab comes out.
Doing the breaking yourself: the box rules
The rubble from a Sanford slab goes in the 10, 15 or 20 yard only, and each one is loaded to half the box at most, since a fuller load is more than the truck can lift. There is no handling charge in the 10 ($375); the 15 ($450) and the 20 ($495) each add the $150 handling charge. The 30 and the 40 don't take concrete, brick or block. Historic tear-outs often mix old brick, plaster and tile in with concrete; the weight guide explains how that weight adds up, and the 10 yard size page shows the box.
The apron, the HOA and the county seat
Where a Sanford driveway meets the street, the apron commonly sits in public right-of-way, and depending on the address that is the City of Sanford or Seminole County; check with them before replacing it. If a newer subdivision off SR 46 has an HOA, check whether it must approve driveway and paver changes in advance. The concrete removal service page has the full service description, including the before-and-after photos.

Questions from Sanford
How much does concrete removal cost in Sanford?
$1.50 to $2.00 per square foot, including break-up, loading and haul-off. Rebar, thickness and access set where a job lands.
Can you reach a garage slab behind a historic house?
Tell the office the width of the side strip or alley and send a photo. Access is part of what sets the price.
Do I need approval to replace a driveway in the historic district?
Likely. In Sanford's local historic districts, exterior work, site work included, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city before it starts. Ask the city first.
Can old brick go in the same box as the concrete?
Yes. Brick is heavy debris too: 10, 15 or 20 yard, half full at most, no handling charge in the 10 and $150 in the 15 or 20.
Why not a 30 yard for a whole backyard of concrete?
The 30 and the 40 don't take heavy debris; a full box of concrete is more than the truck can lift. Use more than one smaller box, or have the crew do it.
