Nice efforts, but I think you assumed a location. For instance your site must be by the side of quarry in other to get granite at of 20 tons at 50k or may be u mean gravel.
2000 blocks for pillars then I think the pillars must be at every 2 feet. I will rather advise OP to do a direct contacts with professional in the house and get a valuable advise before you will start a project and get stuck half way.

Good observation @aventure.
More so what is the height of the fence he qouted 4500 blocks for bcs OP didn't mention the height here also how many openings, what is the condition of the land all this need to put into consideration before given qoute. ...and 2000 block for the columns.
You better go for professional to give you better and accurate qoute that can finish your project as A venture

Depends on What? Its standard. You dont Quote for anything without knowing the Condition of land. The guy just Put Round figures, High and Low.

U should have first of all asked about my location & number of course which i proposed for the fencing before studiously & subtly condemning my post. He gave 100ft by 200ft land size. U do the calculation, using 3blocks as columns for 10 course fencing @ a spacing of 3m & see the no of blocks u will get for fencing. I clearly stated the figures are subject to change regarding location & i was never expecting the op to use it as his final post, but to serve as a guide. If u have got something better & closer to his post, u should have posted it.

I see no reason making a mountain out of a mole hill, majority of people come here so as to have a clue as to what they are about to embark on. It is now left for whosoever is concerned to ask questions that will corelate idea shared here to his post. Lets not deter people from sharing the little they know one way or the other. It is an open space for all, if u think someone is wrong, drop a counter post & educate the house. The thread is all about debate.

@bold Wrong!!!
Sir 2000blocks for that size of land for columns is not much, unless u are envisaging 1 block per column & not the conventional 3 blocks.

No one said visit the land. You only ask certain Questions before giving information. So that you dont give wrong/incorrect information. Anyway
I see how you love to Benefit from Wrong Information! Nice one!!!

For those of us that have been here, it is only natural to omit certain info when posting on here. We have seen it several times. It is now left for the individual concerned to ask questions.
No one is paying anybody here for the info they dish out, so those who take out their time to post sth should be appreciated, because left for some of u, no one will get any info here without paying for it.
Just completed fencing a plot of land with a similar quote posted by someone recently.
So info as such are very much useful to us....

Planting and maintenance of natural Grass:

Immediately after grass planting, maintenance begins as well. The grass must be watered daily for effective growth, if the grass is planted during the raining season less water would be required as rain water is more effective than using water hose or sprinklers.

New weeds will be coming up and this will be taken care of at least every ten days interval till the grass is fully grown. Newly planted grass will take about five to six months to become fully grown with total care and maintenance which include constant watering, removal of weeds and replanting of non-survival grass.

Thereafter the mower can then be used over the grass to bring out its hidden beauty.

The lawn will then be ready for use for its purpose.

Thank u sir for hitting the nail on the head at bold.
I don't just get this.
Someone posted a question, none of u so called engineers attended to the query, someone else took his time to attend to it, u all are coming out like a hungry lion, posting lame observations? If u were so concerned, why didn't u attend to the query? Why not ask the necessary questions & attend to the query instead of sounding like a paragon which none of u are? More answers to a query will provide options for the poster. If u can't come up with sth better, don't come here to parade yourself as a paragon.
