Liquid Confront costs me say $0.50 per 1000.......
I would charge $2.50 per a 1000, but you are way low price wise for that.
$4 per 1000 for cool season weed applications.
$8 per 1000 for warm season weed applications.

 So what are you charging per 1k? $2.50/1k? I assume this is a liquid application?

ejk, im talking about confront w/fert. te, on a property that is 6700 sq ft, u r applying roughly 25 lbs of product. cost of material is around $13, that leaves you $29. this is if u r using granular, at the price i pay for it. personally, i wouldnt play with chemicals for that price, there is too much involved, licensing, record keeping, the extra insurence, liabilty, etc. i put confront with fert down on an 11 k property just yesterday, got $264 for that application.
