what do you charge per 1k sq ft for pre and post emerg

[OKIE LAWNS]

Hey guys, i am new to this site, please be gentle

Just wondered if i could get some feedback.

This is my second year to spray lawns in the oklahoma city metro area. Got my applicator license late in the season last year.. I was just wondering if i am pricing fair, or if i am too cheap/high.. i am getting quite a few lawns, but do not want to be the under cutter (TG)...LOL

I am pricing between 5-6$ per 1k sq ft for 10k and up

i am pricing most city lots 5-7k for about $40.00

am i priced too high?


oh by the way, since this matters i am spraying post and preemergent

$40 covers 0-4,500 sq ft for us. About $8 per thousand on 10K.

You will be when you get into the 10-15,000 square foot range and up.

Bigger lawns go for less per thousand and I don't care what anyone says.

How many applications are you doing per season?
I don't do the granular thing other than ferts, so the number of apps is important to the cost.
For my commercial accounts we do 7 rounds and the resi's without watering systems get 4 rounds.
Our rates are around yours but our cost will not be the same as you. I know that if you are getting above 5.00 per K and better then you are in the right ball park.

Yeah but you'll get laughed off the porch if you quote someone with an acre 215.00

[realist]

$300 - $400 per acre, we don't get laughed at. full program 1 acre $2400 - $3200 depending on terrain and conditions.

Oh bullcrap....lol

Never fails....you guys come along making wild claims and you're just lying through your tooth.

tg's price for an acre here is 220.00, mine is about the same.

[thempikes]

Min is $41.00 for us. See our website - we publish prices.

That is not overpricing - try to get any professional tradesman out to your house and compare the price he charges.

Not to be rude but I'm not buying it.
