Would like to remove this platform in the garden - looks like about 10cm combined slabs/concrete laid on mud. Is it advisable to break it up with a sledgehammer or would a proper breaker be required?

I've always found breakers to be unnecessarily slow and loud on that sort of stuff.

Pickaxes just ping bits into your face.

Stitch drilling the joins would make it easy top split it into liftable chunks.

Using a bolster & lump hammer would keep all the bits together, and save on cleanup faff.

Stitch drilling

That's the phrase I was after.
