Hi, im looking to get a 10 Feet in-ground trampoline installed - the measurements for the hole are 307cm Wide by 72cm Deep.

Does anyone know how much this would cost me? Hole Dug, soil removed, trampoline installed and fitted - I'm based in Scotland.

Thank you!

You need to think it through, you will have a pond under it without drainage. The volume of spoil is three times the volume when dug out.

The water has to go somewhere so some form of drainage or soakaway is needed. The spoil will need to be calculated for removal and hiring a digger would be best depending on access. Much will depend on access, terrain, and soil type.

keep in mind when you get bored with the trampoline, that may be as soon a year or so you have to remove any walls concrete basses and fill the hole

Any time that question is asked the answer is always the same. Although it sounds like a simple question with a simple answer it's not, there are too many variables, type of soil, access to area, storage of spoil etc, then there is the old one of "person A says it will be £100 person B says it will be £250 tops person C says £190+VAT" the question now is who is right, and which one are you going to believe, the answer is none as none have actually been to site and seen what is involved, so the only thing to do is to get 2 quotes from people who have actually visited site.

A customer of mine had one installed , but no point asking how much they paid as firstly it was a couple of years ago and I’m ina different part of the country. I do know it took a little while longer than first estimated as it wasn’t until they started digging that they encountered all sorts of rubbish underground including a metal garage door. Getting the digger in involved removing fences for access. They got me to put plastic grass around it later on. I’m not sure how much they use it but as it’s near some trees they (or me) have to clean it and the surrounding area frequently. I’m sure some of those leaves must make their way underneath.
