Hi all

I was wondering if I could pick your brains. I've tried google but my fu
seems weak on this one.

I've been asked to come up with a guideline price preferably per m2 for
planting small tree saplings/whips of fast growing native species. It's not
for carbon offsetting as such more an idea for temporary brownfield
regeneration.

Does anyone know of some good online resources they could point me at.

Thanks

Tim

The problem with your request that there are a lot of things to take
into account,
Are you providing the whips or are they small saplings?
Can you plant by slit planting?
Do you have to provide / fit tree guards?
Do you have to stake them?
Is the soil good or stony?
If you are having to price per m2, what density are you having to
plant?
Are you doing all the work yourself or will you have to employ someone
to help you?
How much traveling will be involved every day?
I once had to price to supply and plant 10,000 mixed whips, got under
priced on the job, the person who got the job went bust around 6
months later.
