Concrete Breaking up

Most of our 40ft x 2ft back yard is concreted over. There seems to be a drain at the top of the garden for which we are unsure its use.
We don't know who to contact or where to start to dig the concrete up. The cost involved etc.
Does anyone have any ideas?
We would like to eventually pave the garden and build in a water feature and small patio.
Thanks. Janie B

Hi Janie B,

Breaking the concrete is going to be a mammoth task - but it can be done. Better to get building contractors in who have jack hammers to get it done quickly and also clear the materials away...

It is likely that you will then have to bring in sub soil and top soil to replace the concrete - and to give you a good surface to lay a patio on.

Always ask for references and always take them up.
