Hi All

I'm giving the driveway & front garden a complete make over.

A new path with slabs will divide the garden from the drive. The plan is
then to break up the concrete drive, dig down about 8", use some of the
spoil as hardcore, compact it and lay 1 1/2" of compacted gravel on top.

The other side of the path is the garden, so the grass will be removed,
earth levelled and the area gravelled over a membrane.

So, what's the best way of doing the job to avoid double handling stuff?

I'll also need to hire a breaker and a compactor and rent a skip.

So, do I break up the drive& temporarily store the spoil on the grass while
I dig down & remove the earth to the skip or should I start on the garden
side?

Rent a mini digger, tripple handeling becomes fun
