please give me your man hours and/or cost to do this job. Trench master was not available to rent and my stick edger just doesn't put a prefessional looking deep edge in...so I did it by hand and underestimated the job...I've dont this hundreds of times b4 but yesterday the old body was not working at peak efficiency I suppose...

15 trees, no roots, edges were there b4 but filled in level with turf, edge 3" deep, remove sod and debris, dispose of debris,
Total linear feet = 300
No tan bark added at this point

thanks much

We charge .50 cents a foot for trenchmaster. I"m to old at this point to do it by hand.
