Speaking to a hedgelayer mate just now and he reckons the styles were just the product of a very unglobalised world. You’d marry a girl from the next village and might see a hedge there, but no further afield. Still not a full answer.

Hedge laying cost per metre (South Of England style)

True how ever the were some that were very good at it , like foresters and tree surgeons , -
Ouch. In case you have not experienced cracked ribs before, don't be alarmed by the pain getting worse over a few days, that's the normal pattern. I have done it twice.

I used to do it for fun , with a fiskars billihook, axe and bahco 10" bowsaw way before I was allowed to use a chainsaw , I cant remember metre rates now alot of it depends on where you are in the UK i guess. Whats the max diameter of stems u think is in the hedge -
Volunteers can do open heart surgery. Doesn’t mean they’re going to do a good job.

Following with interest. I put over 30m of young easy going this morning and was planning to stake and bind so it’s vaguely South of England. Had a go with a bit of stuff I cut from a hazel stool. Probably three or four feet between stakes. It looks shit (so shit I’m going to pull it out tomorrow before too many people see it). Spoke to a mate who lays it. No wonder it looks shit. Done properly it uses three stakes and one binder per meter! Anyway. Won’t be cheap. Off the top of my head, pulled out of my arse, back of a fag packet, frankly guessing, £40 a meter? Tell us your quote when a couple more of us have had a guess.

Plenty of volunteers run the London Marathon each year - doesn't make it easy 😁 They're fairly thick stems and it's a long length. I've only laid a little hedge before with much thinner stems -

Got a 90m hedge that needs laying in East Sussex. I'd like to tackle it myself but fear it's beyond me. Had one quote so far but wouldn't mind another one

Kohler command 38 pro efi fueling problems.

They should be able to back probe the injector plug with a NOID light when running and check power to the injector is as it should be. You can't see power at the injector with a traditional volt meter. -

And then there's those people who simply relabel the £30 saw and sell it at a closer price to the £530 saw. the old saying of "you get what you pay for" isn't as accurate as it once was.
