Fuel is a significant cost of business for landscape maintenance companies. To carry out services, Blue Ribbon uses approximately 12,000 gallons of fuel each year.

But unless fuel prices climb above $3 per gallon, we do not assess a fuel surcharge.

When gasoline or diesel costs rise above $3/gal, we assess a fuel surcharge as follows:

$3.00-$3.50 per gallon = 1.25% fuel surcharge
$3.51-$4.00 per gallon = 2.5% fuel surcharge
$4.01-$4.50 per gallon = 3.75% fuel surcharge
$4.51 per gallon or more = 5.0% fuel surcharge

Since many companies pass on fuel charges to their customers at a lower threshold than $3/gal, or even when gas prices fall below average, we can confidently say our policy is “at” or “better than” industry standards.

By setting the threshold of $3/gal, we are only recovering additional fuel costs, allowing us to keep our regular service price structure even in times when others are raising overall prices.

We know that fuel surcharges can be a toucy subject, so we monitor gas price averages and our fuel surcharge policy very carefully to make sure we are never giving the impression of “exploiting high gas prices.” If you’d like further information, please don’t hesitate to call  us: 208-466-5656.
