  • £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?

  • 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.

  • This was approx. 8.5m x 4m. I could not imagine taking it through a house. Are there no other means of access? Basically we were flat out for a full day with two wheel barrows. Sifting soil is time consuming as I did it for another section of the garden - maybe 2 tons of it.
