Rough cost for a hardstanding using road planings

[Hayfields]

We've recently bought a field, and want to put an area of hardstanding on it. Happy to use road scalpings/planings with hardcore underneath, will need to be for a large-ish area 25 x 12 Square metres and will need to be dug down a bit to make level.

Is there a rough going rate per square metre anywhere I can find online? Any pointers gratefully received.

your biggest problem may be the planning permission. If you have neigbours close by who prevent the idea of JDI it could be the largest cost

you probably want some bigger stuff underneath, then top off with plainings
£2000 for materials
A day with a digger
Removal of topsoil??

Put some fabric in before the hardcore, it will save a lot of grief in the future.

When I did a biggish area and wanted to strip the topsoil I ploughed it and then just scooped the loose off with a loader, it was much quicker than messing around with a digger.

Fertiliser bags with the liners removed are similar to terram

But much more fiddle

What you need is quantity surveyor
Who will work it out and costs
I know someone who will do it for a small fee

I wouldn’t put a track down without proper teram. The track will last for years if installed properly, why waste your hard work and bought in materials by using a few fert bags as a shortcut?

I have used fert bags in the past without any problems, done many hard standings with them .

If you get a good lorry driver can save you a lot of time.
