View Full Version : Tree installation charge

We have been charging $10-$15 per foot when installing trees (plus $15 for stake kit, if needed) Is this in line?

I don't understand why you would charge per foot when it matters how big the root ball is. I charge based on how long it will take my guys.
dunno how u guys think of your formulas :dizzy:

Time + Materialas + Markup + labor + any equipment used.

we usually double the price of the tree retail price. that has always been sufficient to cover the labor and stakes etc. even by your math, that is not too bad a price though after looking at some figures i did. maybe a little low sometimes, but not bad.

double the price of smaller trees, triple the price for larger ones

Homeowner purchased trees themselves. We would need to pickup and plant. Six trees re 1-2 inches in diameter. Therefore, basically I understand time and materials ,just a guess of my part. That is why I wanted to see a rule of thumb.
