  • I want to level my front garden. At the moment there’s a raised section in front of the bay. What’s the best way to remove the strip of concrete against the render?

  • I can't write a lot as
    a) I don't know what could potentially go wrong
    b) I can't tell how to put right what could potentially go wrong
    I also don't feel a proper picture as to how much ground you want to take out..
    But that ground definitely helps keep up the walls - they probably have 'happy' cracks in them, an additional movement over time of 5mm from dropping the ground (their stability) may make them 'unhappy' ..
    I've definitely seen gas service pipes placed in positions you'd never dream of nowadays.
    However the concrete does look very thin ~1" the corner cracks could be where to start lifting, it may come up in one piece - if it's looking thick I'd stand back and have a head scratch

  • This is on my to do list also. I'll be using a lump hammer and cold chisel.

    Because I can't find my sledge hammer.
