"Good Morning Christine,
I hope you are doing great today. Kindly read out the detials.

Planting 22 Photinia Red Robin pleached trees (6-8 cm stem) along a fence would take 1 to 2 days, depending on ground conditions and access.

Well-prepared soil? 1 day
Hard/compact ground? Up to 2 days

The process includes digging, planting, staking, and watering for healthy growth. Let me know if you’d like a quote or more details!

"Hi, it's dependent on how many you think to plant and how long is that fence. And do you got prepared place ore ned to prepare it. If need to prepare takes longer but I think should be easy to do in one day."

"It depends on what the soil is like. If it has to be dug over is it good or poor soil. In the worst case scenario it could take a day in the best just couple of hours"

"We have carried out many jobs similar to this and with a team of 2 it would usually take around 4 hours if the soil has already been refreshed and turned over"
