lol...dynamite also works. (or a few M-80's)


he'd prolly shatter some windows with the stick of dynamite. I'd say several sticks of M80's would be a better suggestion.

Or better yet, go down to your local equipment rental place and rent
a Bobcat backhoe or get either a electric or air jackhammer.

I need more information on why you are trying to remove the rock in the first place. layout of your yard, soil conditions, etc...

i think landscaping around it is a good idea, but if you can remove it, then you might be able to sell it. or you might be able to find a landscape company come remove it for free. large landscaping rocks are worth a pretty penny.

Too funny,

I actually have a practical suggestion, rent a small jack hammer. Lot's of places like
this are available...just linked this one, cause that's what they have in my area.
