FAQ: Contract Gardeners & Landscapers

Do you offer trade or bulk pricing for contractors?

Yes — we work with trade and landscaping customers on volume pricing across our 20L, 200L and 1000L commercial sizes. Contact us on 1300 293 825 or info@microtekorganics.com.au to set up a trade account and get current bulk pricing.

What pack sizes suit a contracting or landscaping business?

Our commercial range (Amino Mate, Garden Multi, Humate, Kelp Cal, Liquid Kelp, Plant & Soil Food) is available in 20L, 200L and 1000L (IBC) sizes, scaling from a single ute-mounted sprayer up to a tanker-fed boom.

Can it be applied through a boom spray or backpack sprayer at scale?

Yes — designed for foliar spray, boom spray and dripper/fertigation application, fitting standard landscaping and maintenance equipment without modification.

How does the cost compare to a standard synthetic maintenance program?

Cost per visit depends on the product, dilution and site size — contact us for a program costed to your typical site sizes.

How quickly will my clients notice a difference after a maintenance round?

Surface results like colour and vigour are often visible within a few weeks; deeper soil-structure and microbial benefits build over a full season of regular treatment.

Can I use the same products across residential, strata and commercial sites?

Yes — suited to all plants and crops throughout their life cycle, so core products can be standardised across site types, with rate adjusted to plant/turf type.

Is it compatible with the herbicides and pesticides I already use on a maintenance round?

Formulated to combine easily with most herbicides, pesticides, copper and sulfur sprays common in landscape maintenance. Jar-test a small batch before a full tank mix.

Can I tank-mix it with other fertiliser products I use?

Often yes, but it depends on the other product. Check its label and test a small batch before a full tank run.

Do you offer a trade account for regular re-supply?

Yes — trade accounts are available for contractors who reorder regularly. Speak to our team about setting one up.

What's a typical reorder cycle for an ongoing maintenance contract?

Depends on site size, product and application frequency — we can help estimate usage based on your round size and frequency.

Can I sell this as a premium add-on to clients rather than building it into my base price?

Yes, many contractors position it as a premium organic soil-health add-on. We can supply product information and spec sheets to support that conversation with clients.

Is there a minimum order quantity for trade customers?

Minimum order requirements depend on your account type and pack size — talk to our wholesale team for current minimums.

Does it hold up on turf under heavy foot traffic, like sports fields?

Yes — turf and lawn applications, including higher-wear areas, are a standard use case. New or renovated turf typically needs a more frequent establishment schedule before moving to standard maintenance.

Can it help a lawn or garden bed recover after renovation or turf-laying?

Yes — commonly used to help new lawns and recently planted beds establish, with a more frequent early schedule (roughly every 6–10 days for new turf) before tapering to standard maintenance.

Do you have spec sheets or SDS I can show clients or keep on site files?

Yes — product sheets and SDS documents are available for all commercial products and can be supplied for your site files or to share with clients.

Can I get advice on application rates for different site types?

Yes — our team can talk through rates for your specific mix of site types, or point you to the right product and dilution for each.

Do you deliver to job sites or depots?

Delivery options depend on your location and order size — contact our team to confirm for your area.
