Depends on the person who is doing the labor. There are no set rates. Labor is a service provided by a person or company and value of the labor is usually determined by their time being spent as well as difficulty of the project, not the size.

Besides, if you do it yourself, it's much cheaper and you'll learn something. It's not hard to lay down some mortar and level off your blocks >_>.

And you'll have to be more specific than "cylinder bricks." Your title is misleading when paired with the word cylinder in front of brick in your post. Split faced bricks are nowhere near cylindrical, lol.

1. You trust a Maplestory forum to provide you with the "correct answer" to a local problem (not to mention that it doesn't have anything to do with MS)?

2. The guy you're working for trusts you to price compare for him?

*Confused*

There is no "average labor charge." Like I said, it depends on the mason and the project. Just tell him to charge what he feels is proper, then if you have a problem with it, just haggle him down. Not like he's going to turn down a job if you say "Sorry, I don't know any average labor charge."


But, if you want a random labor charge, I was charged $40 labor to get my car's odometer replaced, with the cost of the item being $130 as well as an oil change which run like $15 at a lot of places. So, the labor charge itself was like around 25-30% of the parts cost for 3 hours of labor.

If this guy is just doing basic work like laying down mortar, stacking, and leveling with no special requests like "leave an opening here with x dimensions" then go around 15% of the project cost @ x number of hours. If x=3 hours then if he works for 6 hours, pay him 30% of project cost. etc. If the size of this wall is around 4'h x 7'w x 6"d then I'd say that's about a few hours of work, assuming he's not a failure with mixing and applying mortar.
