£100 a day - maybe and that would be cash. We did a similar thing recently and had a mini digger in for a full day. I’d guess maybe 10 tons of soil out and 8.5 tons of stones put in. One guy on the digger and two with wheel barrows.
Have you a plan for removal of the soil etc?
TGR-
Oh how I long for a digger! Do they make foldable diggers? Current plan is running through the trommel and taking the graded soil to the allotment where it's needed. Getting about 1 bag of rubble for every 5 of soil, so would probably get a small skip or a 1 ton bag for that. Have been carrying bags through the house but a small wheelbarrow might just fit.

What would be a reasonable hourly rate (Cardiff not London) to offer a labourer to help me dig out my garden? We have no side access other than through the house and it feels like a bit of a mountain to climb at the moment. Planing some kind of deck & shed so need to lower the whole 12x5m area by a decent amount as well as remove a patio.
