What Is Landscaping Estimating
Landscaping estimating is the process of pricing the planting and site finishes on a project. It covers trees, shrubs, ground cover, sod, seed, mulch, planting soil, irrigation, landscape lighting, erosion control and tree protection.
Plant schedules list many species in different sizes, and each size has its own price and labor. We count every plant symbol from the landscape plans in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and match it to the schedule, then measure lawn, mulch and irrigation areas, so your bid matches the drawings.
