Landscaping Estimating Software

Beds, lawns, patios, walls, and plantings measured from the plan or the yard, priced with your crews and materials, and sent as a proposal that looks the part.

01

What is landscaping estimating software?

Landscaping estimating software measures lawns, beds, hardscape, and plantings and prices materials, equipment, and crew labor. KonBid gives landscape and hardscape contractors plan takeoff, field measurement entry, reusable assemblies, and branded proposals and change orders, all for a flat $79 per month for the whole company.

Landscape jobs often start in a backyard, not on a drawing. KonBid handles both: measure from a landscape plan when you have one, or enter tape measurements from the site visit, including on your phone, and price either the same way.

02

Measure the yard or the plan

Measure lawn, bed, and patio areas on a landscape plan, set depths for mulch, loam, and base material, and count trees and shrubs. With no plan, enter field measurements as a manual takeoff. Quantities flow into the estimate and update when the design changes.

  • Lawns and beds as areas, with depth for loam and mulch.
  • Patios and walkways as areas with base depth for gravel and pavers.
  • Walls and edging as lengths.
  • Trees, shrubs, and lighting as counts.

03

Assemblies for hardscape and planting

Build assemblies for a paver patio, a retaining wall, or a planting bed that include material, base, equipment, and crew labor at your production rates. Apply them to the measured quantity and the estimate prices itself, with markups by category so every job hits your margin.

Update a material price once in the cost database and every new estimate picks it up. Learn more about the construction estimating software.

04

Change orders without the paperwork

Landscape scopes change on site. KonBid builds change orders from the original bid when the customer adds a bed, upgrades pavers, or extends a wall, keeps revision history, and exports clean documents for signature, so extra work gets approved and paid instead of forgotten.

Branded PDF proposals and pipeline tracking from open to won keep the busy season organized.
