I would expect a motivated 2 man crew with a pickup truck to be able to bang this out in a day if they can get the truck close and you get the materials delivered in advance. If they have to haul the dirt and materials a ways or pick up the materials, then it could take 2 days.
so u think its a reasonable estimate? Could be that work is on the slow side these days, so they are pricing it low.
not pp, but if you're using cheap pavers, it seems reasonable to me. There will be no skilled labors - all they have to do is dig out soil, haul it away, put down sand, tamp it and then put down pavers and your pit. It's not hard work.
