How it works

What to work out first

  • Materials: use the mulch, gravel, topsoil, sod and paver calculators.
  • Labor: hours by stage, with delivery and cleanup.
  • Equipment: rental or wear on yours.
  • Digging: call 811 before you dig, and say who’s responsible for private lines.

Say what you’ll do if plants die: how long your warranty lasts, and what would void it.

Common questions

What should a landscaping estimate include?
Your business, the address, the plants and materials, labor, removal, the total, how long the price is good for and any warranty on plants.
How do I price a landscaping job?
Add materials at your cost plus markup, labor hours at your rate, equipment and delivery. The calculators above work out the quantities.
Should I charge for an estimate?
Many companies don’t on small jobs, but some charge for design work and take it off the job if the customer goes ahead.
Should I offer a plant warranty?
Many do, because it reassures customers, but it costs you. Say how long, what’s covered and what the customer has to do, such as water.
