Landscapers: help us get the numbers right

Estimatey prices patios for homeowners from named-supplier prices and published rates, so anyone can see what a job like theirs should honestly cost. The labour side — day rates, how much a crew lays, how deep you really dig — needs people who actually lay patios, not forums. Five minutes of your time fixes it for everyone, you included.

What we'd ask

• Your day rate for a two-person crew — and which region you work in.
• How many m² of sandstone, and of porcelain, you lay in a day.
• How deep you dig out from lawn before the sub-base goes in.
• The deposit you normally ask, and the guarantee you give.
• Whether you'd use a tool that prices a homeowner's job sheet in five minutes with your own rates and sends a branded quote.

We don't sell leads, badges or placement — never will. If we build something for the trade, it'll be a tool you pay for, not a listing.
