He charged $450 to lay 400 bricks. It was a small retaining wall and mailbox. We supplied the bricks and the mailbox. I did the concrete foundation myself. The quality was exceptional. He was very friendly too. I will use him again when the time comes to build our back yard retaining wall. I can take a picture of it for you tommorrow if you want. Let me know.
