Hockley's Landscaping 2026-2027 Liquids Supply Allocation
Reserve Your 2026-2027 Winter Liquid Allocation
Hockley's used approximately 165,355 L of Premix 10 last season. This page presents a practical 175,000 L base allocation that keeps the program close to current usage while updating delivery to the current Zone 2 service rate.
Why This Allocation Makes Sense
Instead of leading with a 250,000 L threshold commitment, this option starts with a more practical 175,000 L base allocation. It is close to last season's actual volume while still protecting winter supply planning.
The product rate is held at $0.16/L, and delivery is separated at the current Zone 2 service rate of $0.05/L. That makes the full delivered planning rate approximately $0.21/L.
175,000 L Allocation
Estimated total before tax, including product and Zone 2 delivery.
| Premix 10 product | 175,000 L x $0.16 = $28,000 |
| Zone 2 delivery | 175,000 L x $0.05 = $8,750 |
| Estimated total before tax | $36,750 |
| Delivered planning rate | $0.21/L |
250,000 L Threshold
Optional larger allocation if Hockley's wants to reserve additional volume and reach the higher rebate tier.
| Premix 10 product | 250,000 L x $0.16 = $40,000 |
| Zone 2 delivery | 250,000 L x $0.05 = $12,500 |
| Estimated rebate | $3,750 |
| Effective product rate after rebate | $0.145/L before delivery |
September 1 Commitment
To reserve the 175,000 L winter allocation, a 50% pre-buy is due by September 1, 2026. This payment is applied as prepaid credit and drawn down against winter invoices as product and delivery are supplied.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Seasonal allocation | 175,000 L |
| Allocation value | $36,750.00 |
| September 1 commitment | $18,375.00 |
Additional product ordered beyond the reserved allocation will be invoiced at the applicable in-season pricing and delivery rates.

How Billing Works
Hockley's confirms the seasonal planning volume before winter.
The pre-buy payment becomes account credit.
Product and delivery are invoiced as supplied, with prepaid credit applied first.
If volume demand increases, Hockley's can review the 250,000 L threshold option.
What the Allocation Reserves
Confirming a seasonal allocation allows Liquids Revolution to plan product supply, production time, storage, and delivery scheduling before winter pressure begins.
This protects Hockley's from relying only on in-season availability during peak weather periods.
Cost Positioning
Salt can appear competitive at low pricing, but can become volatile and expensive at higher rates. Liquids provide a more stable and predictable product cost profile when the program is planned before winter.
