Job i'm working on now. Previous landscapers laid these chips on top of some terram and the bark on top of her garden ornaments. You can see the terram through the bark and the chips looks to be a bulk bag full if that.

They told her the materials cost £400 and charged her £500 on top of that for labour.

Handcrafted bark chips? Lovingly individually carved with the dainty fingers of a fair maiden, in a land far, far away?

That helps. It means the problem isn't at my end. I thought I might have done something stupid like linked to my gallery that is on private or something.

might be the pixel size is too large. You can resize them using Photobucket before you up load.
Cant wait to see them now :laugh:

PS not in 'Last Few Weeks' either :(

Very Bitchy lads, back to the point of the topic. Seems steep, but how much clearance did they have to do first?how much spoil came away? Agree though that there ain't £400 worth of Bark chipping, for that their should be at least 10 cube, and their doesn't look that much.
Looks to me like the lady got done big time, has she got their details? She could complain to fair trading.
