Retaining wall and decking costings?

[siriusb]

I am trying to get some idea of what I need to budget for a retaining wall approx 15 foot long and 4-5 courses of bricks high (wall will be straight) and also for 2 decked areas (13 foot by 8 foot / 5 foot by 7 foot).

I know it's a how long is a piece of string question but am still keeping fingers crossed someone can help!

Get the price of materials from your local builders merchant and then add labour at £140.00 per day. I would guess about 7-9 days labour. That will give you a guestimate.

Bloody hell, my garden is weeny! I wasn't anticipating over £1000 just on labour

Maybe I can grow to love shingle....

if i was doing it as a job i would expect to have it done in under a week assuming its a staright forward wall and softwood deck at ground level. Get a few quotes.
