| Post subject: | Landscaper - Sydney?? |
Hey guys, I know this isn't strictly "MINI CHAT" , but I need some info / help quick!! Is anyone in Sydney a Landscaper, or have any experience with paving, or know someone that is and will work cash in hand?? I need some help with paving our driveway - I have bought the pavers, and can get other materials (roadbase, sand, concrete etc) cheap through work. I just need someone to help me lay the pavers - does anyone know someone who can help?? Thanks. |

I did the drive at my last house. My father in law gave the advice, and I carried out the work. Hired all the right gear too. It was a ripper of a job - but geez my back ached for days afterwards!!!! |

I'm a landscaper by trade, but I'm a fair hike from Sydney.

I have a "MATE" who was supposed to be helping me, but he's only just starting up is business and seems to want to charge me top dollar. He's not that good a mate if he wants me to prop up his business I think. I don't expect things for free, but geez, anyways you guys don't wanna hear about that crap, I just wanted to know if anyone had some suggestions on what to do or who to call. Thanks |

get figjam to quote, it may be cheaper to get him to come up and out him up than to have a sydney guy do it. Cheers Aaron |

Couldn't give you an accurate price Bob, as I've been out of the game for over 10 year's and I'd really have to look at the site. I know the guy's in Sydney charge like wounded bull's, but if you get a few guy's out to quote you should get a rough idea.If you have all the materials and hire the gear, he should quote you an hourly rate.
