you don't mention what you have on hand to remove the asphalt or your skill
level? How large the area is what condition it is in etc.. You could rent a
saw cut it into squares then take a skid steer rent a dumpster or dump truck
or lots of trips in pickup truck to the dump. or just hire someone to break
it up and haul it away. You will also need to dig down a ways to replace
the compacted " dead" soil with nice top soil for the garden. You might
want to just put in raised beds and keep the asphalt?

hey all

i've bought a property that was severed into two plots and the old
driveway
is now where i'd like to put a garden. somebody told me that asphalt is
too
rubbery to use a jack hammer on. what's the best way to take up an old
asphalt driveway? are their saws i can rent to cut it into small pieces
and
then just shovel out the sections?

tks
