Hi , the lads where I work get seven a metre . Which includes areas stoned up ,manholes set to correct heights . Pick up , diesel supplied and whacker and still saw and blades supplied . Suppose it all depends how high you are up the food chain . They are 3 rd down the chain .

well the way i would think it is can you and a man average 25-30m2 a day finished?
I know somedays you might do 50 but there wil be 12 m days too
as much as possible is the best answer
