Im looking for a reliable cheap gardener to level and returf my back garden and also remove some ive from off the fence. Ive just had a guy out, and he quoted me £450! garden is around 17ft wide, and roughly 20ft long!

its not all grass though, as we are planning on putting a small decking area down ourselves

2 men 2 days plus turf bone meal and skip . £450 doesnt sound too ott

It sounds like a lot of money but likewise I think the pricing is about right. Stripping and levelling is a big job and you need about 40 rolls of turf.

Maybe be better hiring a skip and level the ground yourselves.
Instead of re turfing buy some grass seed and plant it,As for the garden fence .....instead of getting a new one repair the old one and paint it up it will look good as new.
You both will save alot of money.

As I read it, she doesn't want a new fence, she wants some ivy (ive) removing.

Hi fish. I tried to send you a PM but you`re over your limit. Are you available for a garden tidy up? Please?
