Free Landscaping Quote Template
Landscaping quotes cover everything from one-time installs to recurring maintenance — and mixing the two in one vague number is how margins disappear. This template keeps design, installation, materials, and maintenance clearly separated.
What a winning landscaper quote includes
1.Project Summary
Property address, areas covered (front, back, beds, hardscape), and the look the client described. Reference photos if they gave you any.
2.Scope: Installation & Hardscape
Plants with sizes and counts, sod square footage, hardscape materials and dimensions. Counts are your protection when 'a few more shrubs' appear.
3.Materials & Plant Allowances
Nursery stock pricing moves seasonally — set allowances per bed or per specimen tree, and note that substitutions of equal grade may occur.
4.Site Conditions
Irrigation lines, buried utilities (call-before-you-dig), grading, and drainage assumptions. Water problems discovered mid-job are change orders.
5.Pricing
Separate one-time install from recurring maintenance if quoted together. Recurring work gets its own frequency, seasonal schedule, and monthly price.
6.Care & Warranty Terms
Plant warranty conditional on your watering schedule being followed — the single most disputed item in landscaping. Put it in writing.

- ✓Quote maintenance as a monthly subscription (annualized ÷ 12) rather than per visit — smooths your revenue and their budget.
- ✓Price specimen trees and large hardscape with a healthy margin; they carry your real risk (delivery, cranes, dead-on-arrival stock).
- ✓Off-season discounts for install work booked in winter keep crews busy and beat competitors who go quiet.
Frequently asked questions
Should landscaping quotes be itemized?
By zone or feature (front beds, patio, irrigation), not by plant. Zone pricing reads clearly and lets clients trim scope instead of negotiating your rates.
How do I quote recurring lawn maintenance?
Annualize the full season (mowing, edging, cleanups, treatments) and divide into equal monthly payments. State visit frequency by season and what happens in drought or freeze weeks.
What if plants die after installation?
Offer a warranty (commonly 90 days to 1 year) explicitly conditional on the client following your written watering instructions. No condition, no warranty — you can't warranty neglect.
