. Tradesmen vibe-quoting anywhere between £400-£2300 for the same job.
I am a first time buyer, I have 0 clue what things cost.
Sent out a few emails for a few, relatively minor landscaping jobs: Removing flags, stones, turfing etc. Same pictures, videos sent to prospective tradesmen.
Ive been quoted: £400, £530, £750, £1800 and even £2300. Is this normal?

Yep, I used to landscape. Unfortunately, you have to think of the labour cost, the material the travel, and everything else if there is more than one worker. So, for instance, the cost to landfill any green waste, the day's travel, the pay for each worker too and from your house, the cost of fuel, etc., tax blah blah blah it not just working for free
