    Unless you have the money for the labourers and want to do it before laying the hall carpet!

    See original post

    Fair point image. If money is no object, have a word with a local ground worker company and ask if they can send a couple of their boys to fill a couple of skips. The skip costs will vary depending where you live and if it has to be on the road (rather than in your front garden or on a private drive) it adds a premium, so expect the thick end of £500 (more if you're in the south east) by the time you've added in the labour cost.

  • ok. thank you very much. I think it's more important than the hall carpet or anything else. I will bite the bullet and get a skip and a ground worker company. No I don't have a drive. It's in hackney. I will look into skip hire. Thank you for everyone's help. So probably about 1000 should cover it - it is a huge pity that developers thought it was a good idea to ship tons of stone to pour all over a garden!

    I live in Leyton, east London!!..

    PM me, as I used some ground workers for a bit of the work in my garden. They were 2 Albanian fellas who speak English and worked for £70 per day + fried chicken for lunch.
