There is no information on the size of each block nor a total quantity of acreage – without that we cannot determine a timeframe for completion of work. The type of terrain and other environmental factors for each block is not provided. The specific chemicals and the rate of application is critical information for a quote. Also, viewing the blocks prior to quoting is absolutely necessary for the type of trucking and equipment we use in such work.
