How to Remove Pavers From a Front Entry Porch

Coat Hanger

• 1

  Cut a wire clothes hanger into two 8-inch-long sections using a pair of wire cutters. If you don't have a wire clothes hanger, go to the hardware store and purchase a piece of wire in a similar gauge.

• 2

  Bend a 1-to-2-inch long finger, using a pair of pliers, onto the ends of each piece of clothes hanger and bend a handle about 3 inches long on the other end of each piece.

• 3

  Slip the finger ends between the pavers on the front entry porch and turn them so they are underneath.

• 4

  Pull up on the paver firmly but gently until you can grasp it.

Pry Bar

• 5

  Place the edge of a pry bar underneath the edge of the first stone on the porch.

• 6

  Push down firmly on the pry bar, lifting the paver.

• 7

  Hold the pry bar down with one hand -- or your foot -- while you lift the paver up and out.
