How much do you guys charge to install plants? ie) Primula's are like 87 cents, lol.. how much would you charge a customer to install 16 plants? What type of plants are colorful and all year around currently?
Currently, there aren't any good all year around plants. But wait until April and there will be some then.
Depends on the plant. I currently charge 48 a flat of petunias, 64 a flat of zinnia an marrigold, and pansies which are our winter color, (god help us but that is about it) is 50 a flat. This is about 200% above what it costs me, and sometimes if I get motivated several month before when I need the flowers and grow them myself it is over 1000%. I can grow a flat of marigolds for less than a buck.
how much is a flat ? .87cents for primula's at home depot I charged the customer $2.50 for that.. 2.50 x 16 ... .87 x 16
You have to take in to consideration that the beds will have to be cleaned up and cultivated before you plant in them. I haven't fond one were i could just jam flower in and go. So you need to charge for that too
I charge $36 a flat of 36 this is for pansies and most other annuals or perrenials i include a bag of tosoil 98 cents and mulch 1 bag will cover 2 flats at $2.89 per bag the plants cost $6 to $7 a flat is this what your talking about ALPINE.I can plant 10 to 12 flats per hour.
oh okay, Yes Image1.. so let me get this correct; You charge $36 for a flat of 36 plants. Included are; topsoil, mulch ie) woodchips or bark correct?
