I've just started lifting a concrete path in my back garden with the intention of then replacing it with soil & grass.
The concrete path is approximately 8 inches deep which I thought was a bit overkill, but just after starting it I found that there is a drainage pipe no more than 5 inches into the concrete that seems to head off to main road about 200 metres away.
Is it wise to remove the concrete & replace with soil as I'm sure that pipes should be buried more than 12 to 18 inches in the ground?
Or am I going to have to leave the concrete in place & try to lay a thin layer of soil & lay grass on top?
