Should I just rent a jackhammer and do it? Or could I rent a bobcat without renting the jackhammer? Do I need to rent any type of saw to cut the edge along my driveway?

I wouldn't mess with jackhammer, just peel that junk up. Do you have a plan for disposing it? Pickup truck to take it to the dump? Bet you can't just put it out with the trash.... __________________ If I could only remember to THINK about what I was doing before I did it.
