It works out at about £50 a bay and decent panels are about £25 each trade so plus posts and gravel boards, unless its all wooden posts etc. Try getting a quote around winter time as people dont want as much work done and all fencing/landscaping companies drop their prices quite a bit;).

He's just quoted me for it fencing all the way round...an 80m long garden works out expensive for fencing!! If you was to have a quote for a six foot fence (5 foot panel and 1 foot gravel board) from who I work for you are looking at about £3700 for 80 metres and 4 maybe 5 days work (two of us):D.

	I agree with Stavs, would take you ages preparing the soil and getting it right. Weigh up your options, turf is more expensive but takes no time at all to lay, seed is cheaper but you will need to spend a lot of time doing it

	Dont suppose he covers the bradford area? Looks a damn good job and very cheap.
BigSte	posted on 14th Mar 08 at 15:21
	I can't even see how he would have even made much money out of me cos cheapest I could get turf for my garden was £400 so he may have got it a little cheaper...... soil will have been at least £100 for a wagon to deliver it, then he had to pay his 2 helpers and take some wages for himself. I got two quotes and the second guy wanted £1050....... he made a good job as well!

BigSte	posted on 14th Mar 08 at 13:31
	nope not a typo....came in 2 lots. They dumped it on my front, a massive mound and the blokes had to barrow it all round to the back garden. Those big industrial 8 wheeler type things brought it....my garden is still on a slight slant but much better after the extra soil :lol:
Cosmo	posted on 14th Mar 08 at 13:08
	Ive had 2 tonne of stone delivered before and it was a hell of a alot...so 20tonne of soil would be a huge amount.

	I would recommend turf from personal experience.... I'm not sure if it would be cheaper to get seed or turf cos you would need a fair few boxes of seed to do a full garden.... Had mine done last summer, paid £650 for it including 20 tonne of top soil and it took 3 blokes 3 days to do it... (ps when it was finished round the back of the garage was also done!)

	decent idea!!
Russ	posted on 13th Mar 08 at 21:48
	do both, bad thing about seed is the birds eat it, get some cheaper turf, and lace it with seed once its took

	The house i have moved into has bark everywhere, i hate the stuff!! Want to get rid and have a lawn.... Turf is expensive but if it will work out much less chew i would consider it. anyone grew a lawn from seed? How long till its ready for sunbathing:cool:
