See if the numbers work for your business. Uses your build price, how you price jobs, and your mulch rate.

Tell us how you price and run jobs and this estimates your monthly payment, your profit per load, and how quickly the machine pays for itself. Every box is pre-filled with a typical starting point — change any of them to match your business. All numbers are estimates, not a quote or an income promise.

You charge

$/ sq ft

What you bill the customer per square foot. Pricing varies widely by region, job type, materials, and competition — this is just a default template number, so adjust it to match your own scenario.

Materials cost

$/ sq ft

What the mulch, seed, fertilizer & tackifier cost you per square foot. This varies a lot by mix and supplier — it's just a default template number, so adjust it to match your own costs.

Target net margin (after labor, fuel & overhead)

The share of each dollar you actually keep after labor, fuel, insurance, maintenance & overhead. An industry focus-group poll put many operators around 35–45% — adjust to match your business.

Mulch type

What you'll spray. Wood/BFM is the thick, durable "Sod Quality" mix; paper goes on thinner, so a tank covers more ground but the result is less durable. This sets how much each tank covers.

Typical pace

loads / wk

About how many tank loads you expect to spray in a normal week. Used to estimate monthly profit and payback.

Target application rate lb / acre

1,500 (light)2,000–2,500 (Sod Quality)3,000 (heavy)

How heavily you apply mulch, in pounds of dry mulch per acre. Heavier rates are more durable but cover less ground per load; lighter rates stretch further but hold up less well.

Coverage per load only means something alongside the rate. A thinner rate covers far more ground per load — that's how some sellers advertise big "up to" numbers — but thin applications are less reliable. Heavier wood-mulch rates give the durable, Sod Quality results TurfMaker® is built for.

*Estimates only — not a financing offer, approval, or income guarantee. "Net margin" is the share of revenue you keep after materials, labor, fuel, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and overhead; net profit per load = your charge × margin × coverage. Coverage per load = the model's per‑load capacity for your chosen mulch ÷ your application rate, and varies with mulch type, rate, slope, and technique. Monthly payment uses standard amortization at the rate you enter. Actual terms come from the lender; results vary by market and operator.
