Prices would be dependant on how much stone cover you wanted, as a guide round here stoned up to topsoil level would be around £5.80 per meter

Sounds quite expensive to me for the rate without stone, would be a lot cheaper than that done with a trencher round here, not a big fan of trenchless tbh unless you know where every existing drain is in the field as you can't see when you've cut through somethin.
£3k for gravel cover sounds pretty cheap tho, Is that just to put a shallow cover on?

£1000/acre without stone.
Mate has had a contractor in to do a 9acre field and that is what he was charged.

We charge around £1700/ acre for 80mm, 800mm deep at 10m spacings with gravel to plough depth.
