Ive been getting my garden done, slowly at my own pace clearing an area flat, removed around 30 tonne of earth & grass, then started digging out holes for fence posts - thats about as far as I got up to last week.
This week ive been staying at my parents while there on holiday & not really been round mine, returned today to find a hit squad of 5 guys doing next doors garden, a proper landscaping company, must be costing them thousands!! Anyway there doing one of the runs of fencing between the 2 gardens which I was going to replace & have asked me if I want them to do the lot of mine while there at it.
Now he's said £1280 to do the job.
Taking into account:
I priced materials for my job at 900-£1000
Ive already started digging out - infact they have taken off where ive left off.
Im not sure if im getting a good deal or getting shagged here

Is that just to finish off what you started and put up the fence?
If I was you, I'd do it myself. You've got plenty of spare time on your hands and it would save you a few hundred pounds

Im thinking that, basically if I do it myself then it will cost even less than I thought before!!
