Oh I'm not taking down the garage. When I said I didn't know what to
do with it, I meant the driveway. My garage is going to be a cottage
thing.

If the concrete is in good shape making cracks in it will be a big effort,
probably requiring machinery.


Yeah, I was wondering about that. I was thinking about making the
cracks in a pattern. I have no idea what jackhammering is like.

I am not sure what you mean by this. *Some plants will grow in cracks in
rocks and walls etc but it is no way to set up a garden as in most cases the
very limited room for roots will severely stunt the plant. *Also any plants
that do grow there will risk being sun baked on the concrete.
