Uh oh, looks like we got lost and started demoing someone’s front yard… 😬#demoday #outdoorliving
What happens here
A female worker operates a skid steer to aggressively break and remove larger sections of the concrete sidewalk. Subsequently, the focus shifts to the concrete porch steps. Workers use a combination of hand tools, specifically a sledgehammer, and the heavy machinery (likely the mini excavator's bucket) to systematically break down the multi-tiered concrete steps. Large chunks of broken concrete are then lifted and removed by the excavator, clearing the immediate entry area of the house.
Goal: Completely remove existing concrete sidewalk sections and porch steps.
