          Woo, I ripped my lawn out earlier this year, due to the many issues I had with it, grass didn't thrive, suffered with moss, bone dry in summer and bog in winter with puddles constantly sitting on top...

          When I ripped out the lawn, it wasn't rubble causing the problems, but a patio that was part gravel and part slab, a couple area's of concrete and a concrete fish pond surround, among other bit of rubbish that had been chucked in the fish pond!

          I removed as much concrete as I possibly could, then when I discovered the patio, I did a rethink and calculations of cost, as it would need another skip, a mini digger to get the patio part out in a reasonable spam of time, then top soil... So now I have a lovely court yard effect back garden...

          So I agree with the others, if you leave the path in, you really won't get a lawn only hard work and constant disappointment
