Hey guys I am bidding on a mulch job.....101 yards is how much it will take, Mulch costs $18.90 per yard i will not have enough room in the driveway to get it all del. at one time, so i will have to have 5 del made....del cost to be $65.00 per trip....how much would you guys charge to do this job?
Thanks

Withe the delivery charge you cost would be 22.12 per yard. $6300 as long as their wasn't much prep to do.

around $6000, don't forget your preemergent.

what type of mulch is it? a root mulch, double shredded hardwood? I assume its for a large estate if "driveway" is the limiting factor. If you had a trailer dump it, they could deliver up to 80 yards at a time and you cou8ld prob. get the mulch cheaper.

On one property. I would do for a little less than $6k. Quantity discount

[WeatherMan]

6k :D

[polecat63]

Quantity discount? Why? Do you do less work with quantity?

I really appreciate the input.....I was going to bid it at$4800,but after seeing this i think i will turn it in like $5800...once again thanks guys...

$5800 seems pretty close to what i would bid.

[NCSULandscaper]

I would have gone $6500. I try not to do the quantity discount thing because thats more work for less money.

Hey Glan, I cant believe you gave a price. LOL

I came up with $6,800. This is based on material & delivery cost marked up 25% and $40/yd for installation.
