Myself I would quote £320 a day for two men , including fuel for cutters etc
Do an hourly rate .. £20 easily
And then add a few hours ontop to cover the fuel costs etc
8-4 = £160 x 2 = £ 320 this would include fuel etc and if you feel your mate deserves a bit extra because he's worked hard then there's extra there
However if you feel it'd take say two days , drop your daily price a bit by say £20 a day taking it to say £300 a day . Never be too greedy dropping it by £20 could secure you the job .

I'm quite lucky my local suppliers will not sell to the public only company's until there is enough in stock for everyone .
Some company's forget there regular customers ie tradesmen have bills to pay and without the materials for the job because they've sold them to some old joe off the street which really p****s us off .

The guy I work with normally has a small head and was unable to get a climbing helmet to fit him properly. He got one recently that is better. I think it was a Petzl one he got from a rock climbing place and he's managed to get ear defenders on it but not a visor. But he uses a pair of mesh specs instead.
If you send him a message he'll be able to tell you exactly which helmet he bought. He's "SEAN TYNAN" on here.
Normally has a small head ?! Does it change in the weather ? hehe

Scrape off old turf
Rotorvate if the soil is of good quality and remove any large stones rocks etc
Roller area and remove lumps and bumps
Fluff up the soil with a light raking and scatter a thin layer of sharp Sand over the whole area
Lay your first row of turf
Don't walk over the soil or the new layer turf use a plank of wood or board
Stagger the next row , ie : like when making a wall
Water regularly especially in the warmer weather , a sprinkler is best
Hope this helps mate this is what I tend to do however if I'm wrong someone please let me know

That's transit tipper towing a trailer my tipper doesn't weigh 3520 haha

Use it to coat fence panels etc , wouldn't recommend it at a customers house but at your own will be fine , just remember old oil is cancerous
Or just use it when having fires it will smoke but it's cheaper than petrol

Yes the client wanted to reuse the old boards as they were only up 9 months, all new post and rails though

I usually find customers need to be told what they want
Yeah true that actually , and also wonder why existing panels don't match colour wise with the new .... Say no more :L
-
Isit me or are some of those old feather boards ??

That's the way I do it plus capping rail
Yeah with or without capping , whatever the customer is willing to pay/prefer

Agreed generally 6weeks after flowering is when I tend to go over them , just strim around or mow close to them if need be
