    That's a lot of soil Matt.  Around 10" depth over the area?

    If it's a job to price I'd look at getting some free/cheap screened skip waste soil for first layer and top up with 'real' topsoil ;)

    10-15 wagon loads (depending whether 16/20t)

    Yes, Sorry forgot to mention we have to remove about 120 tonnes as it is contaminated with Honey Fungus so we need 120 just to replace this, then the rest is to level off the remaining area. Any idea of price for good topsoil and cheap infill soil ? thanks matt
