it's about 150 sq feet. i have no tools, but there's a rental place down the
street. there's a fence that divides the driveway and i've got about 1/3 of
that on my lot. i can't take up the entire driveway so i'd like to just
split off what comes onto my land. i'm hoping there are industrial saws
available that are designed to cut into asphalt so i can get a good clean
cut along the fence line. you're saying there are such saws?



i am considering building a raised garden on part of the asphalt, but
there's a strip that runs along the side of the house where it would be too
narrow to go that route, so i'm definitely committed to removing at least
some of the driveway.

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
