Small excavation/ back yard scrape

[blznnp]

I was wondering if anyone here could scrape my back yard? I am wanting to replace about 3 inches of topsoil and put all new sod in my backyard. It is roughly 1100 ft.². If anyone does this and is interested please let me know.

If you rented a skidsteer I can do it on a Saturday. Fwiw I've been told several times I'm probably the best skid steer operator in the state haha.

I would understand if renting a skid steer is not your most desired option here, but it is an option if you can't find anything else.

I need to do something similar, what's it cost to rent a little Bobcat or something for a day?

Kinda depends on the size you need. Average $120-180 per full day. The ones that are less than $120 are likely too small/weak. Unless the material you are scratching down is already fairly loose.

diamond wants $260 i believe, for one with tracks. $220 with tires. I did that last time for my patio and it was fun, but I am by no means a expert. What would you charge me for labor Chocflip?

Fuel reimbursement and pizza. And if I would get to pick I would say Bobcat or John Deere. Not a fan of Case or Cat.

Is that price including trailer rental or delivery? If not it sounds high.

Hmmmm. I need this form my sideyard where our 50' pine came down a few years back in the windstorm. Wife is pretty adamant about getting the fence fixed, and I want that leveled before proceeding.... Trunk was ground down.
