We have a raised bed in our garden that we want to remove and level. Got a quote for doing that and paving 2 drives but it was very expensive. We also now need the roof replacing at some point so don't have the cash to pay a landscaper . In view of this, I wondered how feasible it is to hire a mini digger and skip and shift the soil ourselves.
How easy are they to use? How long would it take to dig out a bed that is 30ft long, 6ft wide and a foot deep? It is just top soil, not rocks or clay. Access is good.
Anyone done this at home? Any tips? I know BB does this type of work and Frazerruss mentioned he had done similar. How easy is it for someone who has never used this type of equipment before?
