I've got bored with a 3mx5m lawn beside my house and want to make it all planted.
What's the likely cost for a man to come in to remove and dispose of the turf, spread 6 bags of grit and 6 bags of mushroom compost and dig over. That's in East Mids BTW.
(Yep I know I could stack the turf and make loam, but I don't have space)

Just a quick search online of the following:
Hire of a lawn cutter varies between £35 - £90 per day.
Hire of Tiller varies between £25 - £50 per day.
Bulk Mushroom compost £60-£80. Spent mushroom compost 40l x 6 £20
Bulk Horticultural grit £60-£80 depends on dry/moist/fine or course. 25kg x 6 £30
Personally I reckon its a half day job upto one day job but I could see them making it into 2-3 days job if they use a spade instead of machinery.
Garden labour £12-£25 per hour or £100-£150 per day.0
