well after the down payment for materials it cost me about $300 an acre. which isn't bad considering all the wear an tear on the equipment plus all the labor and extra effort he put into it. If i was able due to injury i would have helped the man out. He spent the entire morning hand raking my entire 1/2 acre plot because it wasn't accessible by any equipment. DOwn to earth great guy to work with and goes the extra step to ensure you a tremendous looking plot! It gives me goose bumps to think about this years bow season!
