Default Concrete walkway removal for pond extension

On 10 Apr 2003 21:14:01 -0700, (Eric Hanson) wrote:

Hello,

I am planning on extending my pond in the coming weeks. The current
pond is about 22' x 7'. I want to dig an extension to make it an
L-shaped pond. The problem that I am having is that I would have to
"dig" through a 6" thick concrete walkway. And I have no idea how to
remove it safely and with a low cost. I quickly tried to pound it with
a sledgehammer, but it did little to the concrete. Not even a crack. I
quickly stopped because I was worried about the fish and vibrations.

Does anyone have any suggestions/comments?

Please see my site for images to get a better understanding of what I
am trying to do. I look forward to ANY responses. Thanks for your time

How about sawing it into smaller pieces, rental yards have diamond
saws for that purpose. Cement that I have broken up seemed to be a
lot weaker if I could get it upside down and break it from the bottom.
No idea why that would be, just seemed that way.
