  • average cost

    What is the average cost per thousand per season for a 5 or 6 app program on cool season grass.

    I have heard that it depends on the turf and region you are at. I use currently as an average .015 per square foot . A 3000 sq ft property would be 45 dollars. Hope this helps

      $3.85-$4.00/ thousand sq ft + $25.00 stop charge.

        I am looking more for material cost, not what is charged to the customer.

        I know it will vary greatly, but if your charging $4 per thousand, how much of that is average material cost.

          Depends what you are putting down. A cheap fert will have a different price than something like a fert with grub control or fungicide.

            Ok, i'll try this a differant way.

            If somebody is charging $4 per thousand, what is the yearly material cost per thousand average out to be.

            I am assuming that if the price is $4 per thousand, 6 apps would be $24 per thousand per year is what the customer is charged.

            What % of $24 is material cost?

            Or what is the material cost per thousand per year.

            I know the material cost will change for each app based on what is put down, that is why i want to know the yearly cost.

              I could not imagine charging 4.00 a thousand not worth the time to start the truck up. our drop dead rate 10.25 per k on six apps a year we try for 14.00+ a k.

              your cost to put it down is different in each metro area. depends on how much your stuff cost. a 50lb bag of fert around here a few months ago was @ $33. a bag 46-0-0 enough to spray out 46k at 1/2 lb of nitrogen per thousand. that same bag one year ago was 12.00. if finally dropped to 20.50 two weeks ago.but at the 33.00 per bag your cost per thousand was .45 per thousand. One job we just got uses an expensive chemical. we got 67.00 a thousand to put it out on a 30,000 sq ft property this week.
