Like vangoman we had printed block on our last place and access to important utilities was preserved. I have seen it done on pavements etc as well.

I've since dug the garden borders over, it has a grass centre, removed what mares tail I could find up to now, and if we can't get on top of it, I think we'll bite the bullet and go for a printed concrete...
Cheers HH for the comment about the dog BTW!
Mad as a hatter he is, even though he looks oh so innocent in the photo....
You wont shift mares tail by digging. And when you concrete over it, it will appear at the first open edge, wherever that may be - guaranteed! That said, the preparation for the concrete should go deep enough to shift most of it from the sub ground.
