Landscaping estimate FAQ
What should a landscaping estimate include?
Materials with quantities (yards of mulch, square feet of sod), plant species and container sizes, site prep and grading, warranty terms on plant material, cleanup and haul-away, and a signature line. 'Six bushes' becomes an argument; 'eight 6-ft arborvitae, planted and warranted one season' does not.
How do I handle plant warranty questions in a quote?
State the warranty window and its conditions in writing — typically one growing season when the customer waters, or longer if you maintain the irrigation. Putting watering responsibility in the signed quote is the difference between replacing shrubs for free and a five-minute reminder conversation.
How do I win landscaping jobs on the first visit?
Walk the property with the customer, photograph the areas discussed, and turn the walkthrough into an itemized quote before you leave. Landscaping is visual — a quote with site photos attached feels like a plan, not a price. QuoteSeal keeps the photos and signature together on the record.
