I would figure out how long it was going to take and go from there.

Two thirds materials should work. But make sure you know your labor costs beforehand to make sure it works out correctly.

why would you charge 2/3 the cost of supplies for labor,

[JNyz]

I think he was trying to write two times the cost of labor, which also would be too low.

Ya, I was wondering what the heck does material cost have to do with what is charged for labor.

For sure bid labor and materials. Very seldom are the two related in my experience. Case in point mechanics, they say shop rate is x per hour regardless how expensive the part is. The problem from there is how well you can estimate how long it will take you

10' wide and 4' high is not a realistic dimension for an earth berm. Be careful.
