Re: how expensive or easy is it to remove concrete in yard
Is the whole yard concrete, or just portions?
I'm not going to sugar coat it- it's backbreaking labor (think sledge hammers, pickaxes, shovels, and wheelbarrows) if you do it yourself.
It would cost $400-$600 where I'm at depending on how big of a slab, and how much fill dirt is needed to level the yard.
How big is the slab? The whole yard? How thick is it? The price will vary greatly based on those factors.
To do it yourself, its a lot of work. You'll also need a truck to haul it away and you'll likely have to pay to dump it.

Thanks ladies! Thank goodness it's a small area of concrete in the backyard I'll probably end up paying someone to remove it..
the previous owners used the area as a patio floor...
If its just a small area, it probably wouldn't cost much more to have someone do it once you factor in any equipment rentals, trucks, dumping, etc, and it will save you a lot of work!

the best way would be find someone to break it and take it away.
We broke ours up ourselves (sidewalk) and LUCKILY found someone on craigslist that needed broken concrete/scrap pieces to fill in something. Otherwise it would have been expensive to get rid of it
