I've had Filson trousers wear through in the crotch in under a year. At that price I'd hope for better. Old Town/Tin House trousers (which aren't really work wear per se but modelled on old fashioned working men's clothes) do far more robust canvas trousers and at a lower price point, although you do have to wait 6 weeks or so for them to get around to your order...
Waxed cotton leggings fastened to my belt have always worked for me, they're waterproof and if you're not kneeling down constantly they last a long time. If you are constantly kneeling, change religion. On wellies, I spend a fortune, Le Chameau neoprene lined at £150 a pop if you're lucky, but I wear them all day every day in winter and they last a minimum of 2 years.
