Usually, I wouldn't ask a question like this but I kinda don't know, so I'm calling for help.
I've got a customer that's asking to have some mulch done in her beds. There are 4 main areas she wants it done to, with a total of about 700 sq ft. Not real wide beds, but long areas along the sides of her property. I have to also bring in about a yard of dirt to fill in some of the lower areas of the beds, and she wants weed screen down in about 500 sq ft of the beds.
Now, usually I don't do this kind of stuff but she's a good customer and I'm trying to keep her happy and put some change into my pocket at the same time. So, I'm not real sure on the time it's going to take me. Or how much to charge, total. I'm estimating the cost for the mulch, dirt and screen to be around $350 delivered.
So, for those of you who do this kind of stuff more often, how long should this take, and what would your charge be?
Thanks.

PS: I know this might be in the wrong forum, but I didn't think it would get a lot of attention in the landscape forum. If the mods could leave this here for a bit to get some responses, I'd appreciate it.
