Large Area Hydroseeding

[SOUTHERNGREENSCAPES]

Do any of you guys do large area hydroseeding? I have an opportunity to do some with a subcontractor of mine for a subdivision and wanted to see what the going rate was for large areas (3acres+). Thanks for any help. My cost from the sub is $1,500/acre for a rye/fescue mix with everything including tacfier.

i dont know what it works out to but we have a guy in michigan that does it for 4 cents a square foot. i think thats right or maybe it was 4 cents a sq yard. i would have to punch it in on a calculator to find out.

[SOUTHERNGREENSCAPES]

Sqft Is Probally Right. My Guy Is Quoting Me .03cents Per Square Foot. So With The Regionaly Different Prices, That Should Be Right.

What Do You Charge When You Resell It?

Add a penny if you can get your money fast and if he wants to use you as a bank 5.5cents.

Good Info. I Upchagred 1.5cents Per Foot. For The Whole Job That Would Be An Upcharge Of $2,780.00 (4 Acres)

1500 per acre is a very good price almost so good idk how hes making money... i would say if your paying .03 then go up to .05 and you should still be able to get the job...

The Company I Am Subing Out To Is A Sod Farm That Is About An Hour Away That Has A Local Office. Keep In Mind A Lot Of Stuff Is More Expensive Up There In Jersey. Plus, This Is For A Fescue And Rye Mix. Not Straight Fescue Spray.

I don't understand how they do it. I get that using my hay blower spreading mulch hay and usually get more than .03 cents a foot.

Take that qoute and run. That is a great price from a sub. Not saying I couldnt match that but I'd happen to sharpen my pencil. Homeowners I am generally in the .10 area for moderate raking and hydroseeding on jobs from .5 acres to 1 acre.

just lost one to a guy who was doing it for $900/ acre... not sure what he was doing but thought I'd let you know what's going on in the area. i don't know how you can do it for less that 4¢

My materials are close to that for an acre, and I'm not using super high end seed and mulch.

In my area it .06 -.10 but I usually find that the ones that are cheaper usually have a weak blend leaving a lot of bare ground, better off paying a little more and make sure sub uses good mix. my 2 cents

I can do over an acre for $.04-.05 a sq. ft. but I prefer to make at least $.06-.07. Most of our smaller jobs I get over $.09 a sq ft. You can still achieve good results selling it that cheap but I prefer to get paid well for my work. Especially if it's a big area where you need a lot of hose extensions and the truck has to be moved around to hit all areas.

I just recently left a company that charged .06 for commercial and .10-.16 for residential. .03/sqft. is ridiculously cheap even with bad seed.
