When I did my PA's, part of the course was working out your exact costings based on flow rate, number of sprays, cost of chem, walking speed etc. Was all this not covered in your course?

 

You need to calculate your exact cost per spray and then add on tax/profit/travel/insurance per job and that will tell you how much to charge.

Hi no working out a price was not I do landscaping works but not sure on this as I don't want to over or under estimate do they charge day rate area to spray I'm green as grass on spraying prices

All my spraying jobs take the day to do. So I charge my daily normal labour rate plus amount of herbicide used plus about 10%.
