Cucumbers are scientifically known as Cucumis sativus and belong to the same botanical family as melons (including watermelon and cantaloupe) and squashes (including summer squash, winter squash, zucchini and pumpkin). Commercial production of cucumbers is usually divided into two types.
Some contractors charge a full day minimum even if the job takes less than a day. Manual labor by a landscaping company costs $35 to $70 per man hour. Renting a Bobcat or similar piece of equipment for DIY lawn resloping might cost $175 to $350 per day or more. Additional landscaping services, such as planting, fertilizing, and building terraces, will add to the project cost. Building a small retaining wall cost $750 to $1,500.
In the back that is what I did. One wheel barrel at a time I moved about 12 tons of rock into a pile. did a lot of that in the front also. but most I had removed by a bobcat service. That is the way to go and you will probably spend between 250-400 dollars depending on were you are and how bad they need the work. Look in one of those supermarket magazines like the Supershopper that has all the add s for old cars, handymen, etc. Look for a couple of Bobcat services under the landscaping section.
