Education/Credentials After graduating from Texas A&M University, I started a plant-sitting business in Houston to take care of the house plants when people went on vacation. That went on for five years before I moved back to College Station and started several businesses, one of which was a landscaping business specializing in "dry" landscaping.

Question how much does it usually cost to smash down concrete? i want to remove the
cement that was placed in my backyard a few years back. it looks horrible! i
want to destroy the cement floor that was placed there and put in some sod
to make my bakyard look more vernal.
btw, would there be anyway for me to do it on my own o would i have to get
professionals?
Answer Hey, Guy.
I have no idea how much it would cost because I have always done it myself. Which answers the second part of your question: Yes, you can do it yourself.
It's backbreaking and tiring work. It will take a 10-pound sledgehammer or renting an appropriate concrete smasher from Home Depot. Be very careful when you are getting started because you don't know how thick the concrete is or how much rebar is in it. The thicker it is, the more difficult to break up. The more rebar present, the more difficult to break up.
