What’s in it
Hardscape, plants, mulch and soil, sod and seed, irrigation, labor, equipment and disposal, with common items listed.
Area × depth gives cubic yards for mulch, soil and gravel, plus an extra percent you set. In Excel, the quantities fill in.
Every line has a description, size or species, quantity, unit and unit price. Excel multiplies them for you.
Add-ons such as lighting, a larger patio or bigger plants, each with a price and a Yes or No to include.
Utilities marked, private lines marked, equipment access, HOA or permit approval, and drainage.
Room for care instructions and any plant warranty, then subtotal, tax, total and signatures.
How to fill it in
FAQ
Multiply the area in square feet by the depth in inches and divide by 324. For example, 300 sq ft at 3 inches deep is 300 × 3 ÷ 324 = 2.78 cubic yards. The 324 comes from 12 inches per foot times 27 cubic feet per cubic yard.
That’s your decision. If you offer one, write the terms in the plant care section, such as how long it lasts and whether it depends on proper watering, so there’s no question later.
Give them their own lines: machine time or rental, delivery, and haul-off with dump fees. Use your actual rental rates and what your local disposal site charges.
List each add-on in the Options table with its price. In Excel, choose Yes for the ones the client wants and they’re added to the total.
It depends on your state and the kind of work, such as irrigation or retaining walls. Check your state in our license guides before you bid.
Measure every area on site, work out bulk materials by the cubic yard, and price plants by size and species. Add labor hours at your true hourly cost, machine time, delivery and dump fees, then your overhead and profit. List add-ons as options so the client can raise the total without a new quote. ECHOPS sends quotes with options as a link with open tracking and e-signature.
For one-time work such as sod, seeding or a spring cleanup, yes: list each service as a line with its quantity, unit and price, and add mulch or soil with the cubic yard calculator. The template is built for install jobs priced once, not for repeat visits. For how ECHOPS runs landscape crews and their day, see landscaping software.
Yes. The free download includes a two-page printable PDF you can use as a landscaping estimate sheet on site, plus an Excel file with the cubic yard calculator, options and totals. There’s no Word version, because the Excel file does the math for you. Print the PDF for the walk and type the numbers in later.
