What a landscaping estimate should say
A landscaping estimate states the area, the materials by name, what you haul away and whether the plants carry a warranty. The customer can then match bids.
| Field | Why it matters in a yard |
|---|---|
| Area measured | Square feet or cubic yards let the customer compare two bids. |
| Plant and material names | Sod type, mulch type and size of each plant. |
| Prep work | Say what grading, stripping and soil cost. |
| Haul-away | Say if debris leaves the site. |
| Watering and care | Say what watering you expect for any plant warranty. |
| Tax treatment | Texas taxes landscaping labor, so state the tax line where your state asks for it. |
Estimate, quote or bid: Say what your paper means. Write "fixed price", or say how the price can change. Ask your state board or a lawyer what binds you. See estimate vs invoice.

Landscaping estimate questions
Should I price a mowing contract as one estimate?
Yes. Enter visits as the quantity and the visit price as the unit price. The total shows the full season.
How do I handle soil that is worse than expected?
Exclude it, or give a unit price per cubic yard for added soil. Then you can bill it without a dispute.
Do I need a separate line for delivery?
Add one when the material price does not include it.
Can I ask for a deposit on a landscape job?
Enter the percent on the form. Check the rule of your state first.
