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

Can you put up photo? We are say £18-30/m depending on size etc. Aiming for 2-2.5 stakes and binders a meter and you are looking at 6-8 quid in materials alone!

Nice looking hedge to lay and your cuts look good. While we normally do South of England or Midland we have also laid similar using minimal stakes and no binders. Using a stake every 2m(ish) and on alternating sides. Use stakes to hold brash and the odd preacher round the outside if stake to 'lock in'. If that makes sense?
