How do you prepare for soil and grass after removal.
What do people mean when they adveritise, topsoil and sub soil.

Hi Minnie,

Removing the concrete depends on its thickness and how strong it is.

Start at an edge and see how easily it breaks using a lump hammer, my advice would be to try a little bit and see how you get on with it.
When you remove the concrete you will be left with the subsoil underneath.
I removed a concrete yard years ago and all I did was dig over the subsoil and put a six inch layer of topsoil on this.
I then planted grass seed and rolled it once the grass was strong enough.

Hope this helps.
