£120 minimum. Cost half that on materials alone. Depends on what they charge. I'm a gardener and everything is price work. Easily make £20-£100 in an hour.

I was quoted £650 to do this at side of house. I did it myself and just finished it today and it’s cost approx £150 in materials plus I now have a bad back never again!

Thanks Annemarie, I did the pointing in between today so will look better once the mortar has dried. Before it was gravel and hated trying to wheel the bins over it! Hope you get sorted

thankyou! I only need an extra row added to what's there so I should get it much less than the £450 you've done great though-looks perfectly level etc well done! Worth the hard work

I thought about doing that but then checked with the builders and was told no need as it’s below the damp proof course. The rest of the patio and block paving to front all done the same way

Depends on what they charge really. I'm around £30-£100 an hour depending on what the job is and I'm just a gardener.

that's the difference between hourly work and price work. Once the quote is accepted Dosent matter how long your there for. Plus it's all hedge, shrub, tree work and power washing I do for One-Off work. Maintenance aim for £400 a day between 2 just grass cutting.

Hi, It’s my first post, I was after some advice, I am getting some porcelain slabs fitted to my garden (3x3 sq2 area) and wanted some lights to go In to the four corners of the patio/slab area, is it possible to cut in to the slabs and fit the lights within them or would you recommend another way?
