Does anyone know a good company to remove a slanted parking pad/driveway?

I live in petworth and have a slanted driveway that is too steep for my car.  I want to remove the concrete and expose the dirt underneath for flowers or a garden.  The end result would be to dig out the dirt and have a submereged patio.  I'm looking for a contractor that would remove the cement first though.

    You should look into the RiverSmart Homes program - one of the options they offer is to pay some of the cost of removing concrete from your yard. you can get up to $1000 to defray the cost of removing the impervious surface.  green dot dc dot gov slash riversmarthomes .

      We know about the RiverSmart homes program. My question wasn't how to get funding, but rather who to hire with that money. Thank you for your input though!

    I had a handyman remove the concrete pad from the back of my yard.  He and another guy did it with some sledge hammers (I had expected it to be a more involved process than it was.)  His name is Gustavo (240.468.2030) and he's very reliable.

    If you still haven't found anyone (sorry for the late comment!), maybe try Action Junk Removal: http://trash-removal-washingto...nbsp;
    I can't vouch for them first-hand, as we haven't used them yet - I found them on Yelp.  We did get in touch with them to talk about estimates for concrete demolition and haul-away, and they were very responsive. (Ultimately we decided to wait a while longer, for reasons having nothing to do with them - but I'll be calling them again when we do need their services!)
