Asphalt removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Asphalt deterioration is common in Memphis's humid climate, where cracked, potholed, and sun-damaged surfaces develop quickly. Whether your driveway in Bartlett has buckled from weather cycles or your parking lot in Arlington needs complete removal, EvoNorth Junk Removal uses pneumatic breakers and excavation equipment to extract asphalt down to the base layer. We service residential homes throughout Memphis, Hickory Hill, Raleigh, and Frayser, plus commercial properties in Whitehaven and surrounding suburbs.

Our asphalt removal process begins with site assessment and marking hazardous utilities, then proceeds to breaking and hauling debris to certified disposal facilities. We crush and recycle asphalt materials where possible, reducing landfill impact. After removal, we grade and compact the subbase for new installation or landscaping. Most residential driveways clear in 1-2 days; larger commercial projects in Millington, Lakeland, or Piperton may require 3-5 days depending on square footage.

Our Asphalt removal Process

1

Site Inspection and Utility Marking

Our team evaluates asphalt thickness, underlying base conditions, and marks gas, electric, and water lines before any work begins. Standard inspection takes 30-45 minutes for residential driveways in Memphis, East Memphis, or Cordova.

2

Asphalt Demolition

We deploy pneumatic breakers, excavators, and dump trucks to break and remove asphalt in sections. Residential driveways typically complete removal within 4-8 hours; larger commercial lots in Arlington or Southaven may require full-day or multi-day operations.
