Kent Concrete Recovery
Entrepreneurs, concrete contractors, waste haulers, and landscapers consistently turn to Kent Concrete Recovery services, confident of the superior value their product lines provides.
Concrete washout pollutants are an environmental threat and a huge potential liability for builders. They contain exceedingly high pH levels and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mandates that the resulting watery slurry be safely contained and the concrete pouring equipment be promptly rinsed and cleaned. Kent Concrete Recovery, LLC uses OSHA approved products which ensure that these requirements are met expeditiously and efficiently.

Joseph Kent
This business is in Joe's blood. He started working for his father's company, Thomas L. Kent Excavating, at age 13 and carried on the family tradition opening Kent Excavating in 1986, Kent Paving in 1991, and Kent Concrete Washout in 2014. During the past 32 years, Joe has grown the businesses considerably and now employs 67 individuals at his shops in Culpeper and Ashland, VA. Joe is proud of the fact that several of the company's employees have worked for him for more than 20 years, with the longest tenured person coming in at 27 years of service Together, Joe and his team serve home builders such as NV, Ryan, Brookfield, Van Metre, Stanley Martin, and other smaller builders in the Northern Virginia, Richmond and Charlottesville markets. Combined together, the companies touch over 1,500 homes a year. Joe values quality work, honest business practices, fair pricing, and loyalty. Today, Joe's own family is actively involved in both field and office work as he employs two sons, Josh and Justin, sister Stephanie, brother Eddie, and niece Molly. Oh, and let's not forget Henri, the chocolate lab. Joe still loves running the backhoe although he spends far more time in the office now than he prefers.
