I’m glad somebody resurrected this thread. I love landscape poo poo!

I’m about to embark on a project of planting a row of 20 apple trees along the side of my house to do an espalier. Gonna be a fun time! :toot:

So for that apple tree espalier thing I mentioned in my above post, we’re looking at removing about 120 to 150 cu ft of dirt from an area roughly 40’-50’x2’-2.5’ and 1.5’ deep, then mixing between 2/5ths and 1/2 of that dirt with a growers mix and putting that mixture back in the ground.

I don’t know if anyone in this thread has ever had professional landscapers remove or put in dirt before, but what is a typical price I might expect to have to pay for this with labor included? I had a guy give me a quote this afternoon and the price he gave me was between ~$600 and ~$850, which is honestly better than I was expecting but I’ve never done this before. Is that a good price range?
