Estimate

This template is great for your first few estimates. But once you're doing 5+ quotes a week, you need something that keeps up.
A professional landscaping estimate is the difference between getting the job and getting ghosted. Homeowners compare 2–3 contractors for every project — the one with the clearest, most professional estimate wins. Here's what every good landscaping estimate needs:
Company name, phone number, email, and license number if applicable. This builds trust immediately. Homeowners want to know they're hiring a real business, not someone who'll disappear after the deposit.
Full name and property address. This personalizes the estimate and shows you're organized. It also helps if you need to reference the quote later.
Break down every service: mowing, mulch installation, paver patio, hedge trimming, tree removal, sod installation, irrigation repair, plantings, retaining walls, landscape lighting. Show quantities, unit prices, and line totals. Clients trust itemized estimates because they can see exactly where their money goes.
Always show the math. Subtotal + tax = total. No surprises. If you're in a state with sales tax on landscaping services, include it. If not, set tax to 0% so the client knows you considered it.
Payment terms (due on completion, net 30, 50% deposit), estimate validity period (usually 30 days), and any scope clarifications. This protects both you and the client.
💡 Pro tip: Speed wins jobs
The contractor who sends a professional estimate first usually gets the job. 54% of homeowners go with the first professional quote they receive. With QuoteCraft, you can send a branded PDF estimate from your truck in 3 minutes — before you even leave the property.
