Growth regulator pricing

[Brando CalPankian]

Those of you who sell a bit of growth regulator drenches, how do you price the different growth rates of trees? Lost my ass on a category f drench today at 1500ml @$5 an inch (I was blanket pricing). Thanks!

I don't have a great pricing formula...I look at how much I'll use and add labor costs.

An ex big box green manager told me they charged $15-$25 / DBH Inch

I have generally been much cheaper unless it’s an individual tree and I have to make the trip worth while. But I do need to start raising my prices significantly!

If I’m doing multiple other services on the same property like pruning, etc., I’ll usually throw in a good deal for the growth regulator, especially if the bottle has already paid for itself a couple times over.
