How do you cut an opening or a section out of concrete?
Concrete cutting in Edmond means using a diamond saw to make straight cuts and square openings in a slab or a wall, or a core drill for round holes. That way you can take out a damaged piece, run a pipe or drain, or make room for new work without breaking up concrete that's still good.
Most calls start with one piece of concrete that has to go, a line that has to get under a slab, or a wall that needs an opening, while the rest is fine. What moves the price is how many feet of cutting there are, how deep the saw has to go, what's inside the concrete and whether you want the pieces hauled away. The schedule mostly turns on whether the cut sits near the street, because that can bring in a city permit, and we check on permits with the city before anything starts. I'll measure it and put your own figure in a written estimate that spells out what's included. We're based in Edmond and work across the cities around it.
How do you know it's time to cut concrete instead of tearing it all out?
One bad driveway panel
One section has sunk, broken up or tipped while the rest of the driveway sits fine. That usually means the ground gave way under that one piece, and cutting it out on straight lines lets you replace it alone. If you wait, water gets in under the broken edges and the soft spot can spread to the panels beside it.
A line that must cross
A new drain, water line or electrical conduit has to get from one side of a slab to the other. A clean trench cut or a round core is the way through, because breaking a hole with a hammer cracks the concrete around it. Putting it off just means the job you need that line for waits too.
New work needs an opening
You're adding a door, joining a new walk to an old slab, or cutting back a patio to make room for something bigger. A saw cut gives the new concrete a straight, solid edge to meet. Breaking it out rough leaves a ragged edge that the new pour never sits right against.
What our concrete cutting work involves
I start before the saw ever comes off the trailer, because I want to know what might be inside the slab and whether you need the pieces hauled off. That way the quote covers the whole job, and you know exactly what's in it. On the day, our crew marks every line, sets up the saw that fits the surface, cuts to the depth the concrete needs, then breaks out and loads the pieces if hauling is part of the job. We leave clean, square edges so whatever gets poured against them later has a straight face to meet.
Cutting is often the first half of a bigger job. Once a broken stretch is out, we can pour the new section as part of concrete driveway building, or cut back a worn slab and form the new one through concrete patio construction. Either way, we dig out and pack the subgrade, the ground the new piece sits on, instead of raking it smooth, because loose dirt under a patch is what lets it sink like the old one did.
Flat sawing for driveways, patios and floors
A walk-behind saw cuts flat slabs like driveways, sidewalks, patios and garage floors. It's the right tool for taking out a damaged panel or cutting a straight trench for a drain or a line.
Wall sawing for openings in walls
A wall saw runs on a track mounted to the wall, so it can cut walls and columns where a floor saw can't work. It suits a new opening in a concrete wall.
Core drilling for round holes
A diamond core bit cuts a clean round hole for a pipe, conduit or drain. It gets a line through without cracking the concrete around the hole.
Cut and haul, or cut only
If another trade is digging right after, cut lines may be all you need. If you want an opening ready for new concrete, have the pieces broken out and hauled off too.

What happens when you call us about concrete cutting in Edmond?
From your first call to the last walk-around, you deal with me and a small crew, and you'll know what's being cut and what it costs before we start.
Call or send the details
Call (405) 285-3167 or use the form and tell us where the cut is and what it's for. We'll set a time for me to come look.
I come out and measure
I measure the cuts, look at what might be inside the slab and listen to what you're after. You get a written estimate that spells out the cutting, any hauling and what's left out, so you're not guessing at the price.
We line up permits and date
Once you say go, we check with the city on permits and set a day. When Edmond issues a permit for the job, it also wants a meeting with the contractor before any work begins, so that goes on the calendar first.
We cut, then walk it together
Our crew makes the cuts, breaks out and loads the pieces if that's in the job, and cleans up. Then I walk it with you so you can see every line before we leave.
Why Edmond homeowners call Modern Edmond Concrete to cut concrete
The owner walks every job
I come out myself to look over every job and write the estimate, and a small crew I work alongside does the cutting and pouring. The person who measured your cut is the one on site when it's made.
Farm-raised, trained on other crews
I mixed my first concrete on the family farm and spent years on other people's crews before starting this business in 2021. On the farm you fixed a thing once and did it right, and I still work that way.
Licensed and fully insured, every job
Oklahoma's Construction Industries Board doesn't currently require a state license for general contracting, though trade work needs its own license or registration, and the board points you to your city for local rules. We're licensed and fully insured, which is worth asking any contractor before they cut into your property.
On a cutting job, what matters most is knowing what's in the slab and what the price covers before anyone starts. Send us the details or call (405) 285-3167 and I'll come take a look.
Concrete cutting, driveway and sidewalk work near the street in Edmond
A lot of cutting happens where a driveway meets the street or a sidewalk runs across the front of the yard, and that strip usually belongs to the city. The City of Edmond issues a right-of-way permit for any work in the public right-of-way, which covers streets, sidewalks and utility easements, and a separate work zone and lane closure permit when a job closes a lane, the road or the sidewalk. Whether your cut needs one depends on where it falls, so we check with the city before we start. When the city expects the contractor to handle it, we take care of the paperwork and line up the inspections.
Most of the cutting we do around Edmond is on house driveways, patios and walks, so we set up for tight spaces next to cars, fences and flower beds and keep the work area small. It's the same work we do on jobs in Midwest City and Norman.
Questions about concrete cutting in Edmond
How much does concrete cutting cost per foot?
Professional concrete saw cutting across the US usually runs about $3 to $15 per linear foot for the sawing itself. Reinforced or deeper slabs cost more per foot than thin, easy-to-reach ones, so expect those toward the top of that range. For a price on your own job, I'll come out, measure and put it in writing.
What is the best way to avoid hitting pipes when cutting concrete?
Plan a scan of the slab as the first step, before the saw starts. Ground-penetrating radar can find rebar, the steel bars that hold a slab together, along with post-tension cables, pipes and conduit you can't see from the top. If a cut could cross those cables or structural steel, drawings and an engineer may need to be brought in first, so have any building drawings you own ready.
Does a concrete cutting quote include hauling the pieces away?
Not always, because sawing concrete and removing it are two separate pieces of work. Some cutters make the lines and leave the panels sitting right where they were. When you're comparing quotes, check each one for removal before you compare the prices.
Do I need to call 811 before cutting concrete in Oklahoma?
You do if the job involves digging, because anyone digging in Oklahoma has to contact OKIE811 so the utility companies can locate and mark their underground lines. Cutting alone doesn't always mean digging, so ask whether your job includes digging out below the cut. If it does, that call comes before the shovel goes in.
How do I get ready for concrete cutting at my house?
Clear furniture, vehicles, stored things and debris out of the work area before the crew shows up. If your contractor has said they'll use your outdoor outlet and water spigot, leave a clear path to both.
Does concrete cutting make a lot of dust?
Walk-behind saws run wet, with water fed to the blade the whole time they're cutting, which is what keeps the dust down. Expect water around the cut while the saw runs, so move anything nearby you don't want wet.
Work that often follows a concrete cut
When a cut opens up a broken stretch of driveway, a new pour on a packed base fills it in and ties into the slab you're keeping.
If you're cutting back an old patio or making room to add onto one, we can form and pour the new section once the old concrete is out.
