notwhere near arb prices mate as voluteers will happily do this kind of work. I charge £110 a day for planting.

[Matthew Storrs]

£110 per person/man day that is,

Is that normal? seems a lot!

[stihllearning]

its normal if your the main contractor but i reckon about £70.00 is about right if your subbed in labour

I think F.C. rate for planting are around 15p per tree

[Matthew Storrs]

Your right £110 is a lot for labour to plant, but its all relative to overheads etc. If your not running a tree surgery buisness than £80 is still good money for work which doesn't cost anything to do.

But £80 is still crap money for anyone who is self-employed and supporting a family. OK though for someone who doesn't bother paying tax and NI and doesn't have bills to pay.
