For small landscaping contractors
Turn your material prices, labor, equipment, overhead and production rates into a customer-ready quote—then compare the estimate with what the job actually cost.
Estimating, pricing and job costing. No CRM. No scheduling.
One payment. No monthly subscription.
Example project
Saved locallyRecommended rounded quote
$4,385.00
Materials and on-site wages are only part of a job cost. Check whether the estimate also covers paid preparation time, equipment use, delivery, and a share of business overhead.
Use this list when reviewing the scope. Include each applicable expense once, either as a direct job cost or in the overhead allocation:
The calculation can only include the costs you enter. Review quantities, rates, and site conditions before sending a quote.
Adding 35% to cost does not create a 35% margin.
Example project — true cost $2,850.00, target margin 35%.
35% markup
$2,850.00 × 1.35 = $3,847.50
Actual margin: 25.9%
Looks like 35%. Isn't.
35% margin
$2,850.00 ÷ (1 − 0.35) = $4,384.62
Actual margin: 35.0%
Price required to hit the target.

That's more than 6 times the $79 launch price (regular $99) of Landscape Estimate Pro — in this example alone.
Example only. Your results depend entirely on your own costs, production rates and pricing decisions.
Use your own costs, rates and target margin.
Enter your loaded labor rate, overhead, target margin and minimum price once.
Bundle materials, labor and equipment into services like mulch installation or edging.
Pro expands every assembly for this job and totals the direct cost.
See true cost, the price your margin requires, and any minimum-price adjustment.
Hand the customer a clean document, then log what the job actually cost.
1 of 4 default services meet a 35% target margin — 3 need attention.
Shrub Installation needs the most: $67.50 charged today vs. $75.02 required.
Material scenario
Mulch cost changes from $42 to $50 per yd³.
Margin impact
Estimates and services already priced from the old cost fall short of their target margin until updated.
Suggested response
Update the mulch cost on the Catalog tab before quoting new jobs. Estimates already quoted keep their locked price.
This is decision support, not a prediction — it only estimates the impact of a cost change you enter, without changing your saved data.
Labor scenario
Loaded labor changes from $32 to $36 per person-hour.
Margin impact
Estimates and services already priced from the old cost fall short of their target margin until updated.
Suggested response
Update your loaded labor rate in Settings. Every service priced from production rates recalculates from the new rate going forward.
This is decision support, not a prediction — it only estimates the impact of a cost change you enter, without changing your saved data.
Equipment scenario
Skid-steer cost changes from $45 to $55 per hour.
Margin impact
Estimates and services already priced from the old cost fall short of their target margin until updated.
Suggested response
Update the equipment rate on the Catalog tab. Quotes that already went out to customers are unaffected.
This is decision support, not a prediction — it only estimates the impact of a cost change you enter, without changing your saved data.
Quote assumptions → completed-job actuals → variance → better production rates and pricing on the next job.

Quoted for 8 yd³, 9.5 yd³ actually went in — materials$336 → $399, labor$102.40 → $144 (4.5 hrs). Same locked price, $1,042.00 — see which assumptions need attention before the next similar job.
One payment. Use it on every estimate from here on.
Direct costs plus overhead, calculated automatically — not just materials and labor.
Enter a target margin and Pro solves for the price that actually delivers it.
Use your own production rates or direct crew hours. Pro never assumes a universal rate.
Bundle materials, labor and equipment into one saved service, priced per unit.
Every saved service compared against the rate required to hit your target margin.
Test a material, labor or equipment price change without touching your saved data.
Compare what you quoted to what the job actually cost, and see where assumptions were off.
Print or save a PDF that shows what they're paying for — never your internal costs or margin.
