Skip size or grab hire

[scott0904]

He guys, I have a wee job lined up in the summer. This is me just starting to plan it out and organise things. I can't afford to have a landscaper out as I've just finished paying for this garden.

So the question is, I'm going to be lifting the slabs and digging it out back to the original level. Sand and type one and plenty of it is under it. As I never really explained at the beginning, we had the back raised up to door height.

Will a skip be big enough.

The length is 10.5m x 3m and about 20 inches deep.


Cheers

Nope. 10.5 x 3 x 0.5 comes to near enough 16 cubic metres. Grab wagon is cheaper up here.

So is it just sand and aggregate coming out?
You might be able to give it away on gumtree etc, collection only

Just reread the original post- depends what you're doing but it might be worth making 2 piles- 1 of the sand/aggregate & another of the soil. You can reuse the aggregate for base for patio/shed base/whatever
