For the last 12 months I’ve been slowly clearing all the overgrown trees and shrubs and getting an idea of what we want to achieve in our backyard
Behind that shed on the left in a 4x8m patch there were 7 trees all fighting to survive. If that gives you an idea of what I’ve been working with.
One of them was a mop top and I’ve been poisoning and ripping out all the suckers that have been shooting up and think I’m getting on top of it.
You can’t see it from this picture, but Behind that patch of overgrown shrubs is a 4m2 of red bricks.
I want to remove them without damaging them but they’ve been concreted in.
What’s the best method for doing so?
I want to lay turf there so my toddler can run around without falling onto bricks.
I want to keep the bricks for a future job I have in mind.
I’ve pulled up a brick path before, I could do it with a pick and crowbar. But I need some guidance first the best way to tackle this job?
