Provide landscape estimates to clients to earn their trust with your transparency and professionalism. Key sections of a landscaping job estimate include the following:   

• Your landscaping business’ information including any relevant certifications 
• Customer’s information
• Estimate number and date – Track estimates and work with unique estimate numbers. This makes it easier to reference landscaping jobs when communicating to clients.
• Description of landscaping and gardening services – Detail all landscaping and garden tasks like landscape design, installation, maintenance, hardscaping, softscaping and more. 
• Itemized cost estimates including material costs (like plants and hardscaping elements) and labor costs. 
• Any additional services and charges involved in the landscaping work like special treatments, lighting, soil amendment or decorative features.
• Subtotal – Provide subtotal amounts of materials, labor, and miscellaneous fees before adding taxes or discounts.
• Total landscaping cost estimate – List the final amount that a client is expected to pay.  This will likely differ to the actual invoice amount for your landscaping job on an invoice but helps provide your client an idea of costs before work commences.
• Terms and conditions – Include your landscaping business’ payment terms like required upfront deposits, policies for weather-related delays, warranties for workmanship, liability insurance and preferred payment methods. 
• Other notes – Specify the validity date of your landscaping estimate.  List additional information including required site access and expected start date for any landscaping work.
• Signature section for client acceptance – It is helpful to request for your client to sign and date the estimate for record-keeping.
