Concrete Removal and Excavation

What happens here

With the project planned, the next step is to remove the existing concrete walkway and courtyard. This typically involves breaking up the concrete using a sledgehammer or jackhammer, depending on its thickness and size. Once broken into manageable pieces, load the concrete debris into a wheelbarrow and transport it to a designated disposal area. After concrete removal, excavate the area to the required depth, which should accommodate the sub-base, base layer, bedding sand, and the thickness of the pavers themselves. For the drainage system, ensure the trench for the drainage pipe is dug with a consistent downward slope (pitch) from the central drain to the final discharge point, such as a daylighting outlet in the yard.

Goal: Clear the area of old concrete and excavate to the correct depth for new pavers and drainage.
