BEST WAY TO REMOVE CIRCLE PATIO/PAVING STONES

Options
Hi
We have an old patio/paving circle in our garden which is rather dirty looking and uneven.
Rest of that bit of garden we have vegetable beds.
We would like to remove the circle patio with underlay and use it for laying raised vegetable beds.
What/how would be the easiest way to remove them.I dont intend to do it DIY as my backache wont allow me.
Many thanks

    If you can't do it yourself you will need to get a local handyman in to do it.  The paving will need to be lifted and removed, along with any cement used to bed it in.  Then the sub-base may need to be broken up to allow decent drainage.

    If it's uneven it may have been laid on sand. They are not cheap to buy, so you might be able to either sell it cheap or give it away to someone prepared to lift the stones and take them away.

    I hadn't thought of that option.  Facebook has 'Items for sale in your area' and that could definitely be a route worth investigating.
