    How much would you guys charge per acre to spray round up on 3 acres? Can I spike my mix with seirea to give it a more quick response I need to kill it and harley rake it to prepare for seeding.

    charge him what your time is worth. For good results, use a gal of roundup per acre as long as its not too dense. As far as an additive for quick burn off, i think it would just delay reseeding. Round up has about the fastest reseeding time of any non selective herbicide.
    don't forget to charge for time to clean out your tank afterward.

    If it's 3 acres, then $8937.60 is our price for everything.
