Hedge laying cost per metre (South Of England style)

[spandit]

Sounds like the quote I've had is reasonable (just under £2,000) but I'd like to see if can get a grant to help with the cost. I'm happy to pay a proportion of it

That's about £22/metre. It's may or may not be cheap depending on the cost of stakes and binders, but it's not a micky take either. What you could do is go on the UK coppice products website below and see what the going rate is for stakes and binders in you area. You need 180 of each. I haven't bought any down south for four years since moving north but I imagine the days of a £1 a stick down there are long gone.
