Common questions about landscape estimating software

What is the best landscape estimating software for contractors?+
ScopeTakeoff is purpose-built landscape estimating software for landscaping contractors. It includes landscape-specific assembly libraries for planting, hardscape, irrigation, lawn installation, grading, and maintenance — with automated estimate generation from your takeoff quantities. At $100 per person per month it’s built for landscape contractors who need fast, accurate bids without enterprise software complexity or pricing.
How does automated estimating for landscaping work?+
Automated estimating for landscaping works by connecting your takeoff quantities directly to a pre-built unit cost database. In ScopeTakeoff, you enter your site measurements or takeoff quantities, select your landscaping assembly, and the software automatically applies material costs, labor rates, and equipment to generate a fully priced landscape estimate. No manual formulas, no spreadsheet calculations — the landscaping cost estimator does it automatically.
Is ScopeTakeoff a landscaping quoting software?+
Yes. ScopeTakeoff functions as landscaping quoting software by generating client-ready proposals and quotes directly from your estimates. Once quantities are priced, one click exports a professional landscape proposal formatted for the client or a Schedule of Values for GC submission — no reformatting, no copying into Word, no manual totals.
Does ScopeTakeoff work for landscape maintenance estimating?+
Yes. ScopeTakeoff includes dedicated landscape maintenance estimating assemblies for recurring services, seasonal cleanups, mowing, pruning, and fertilization programs. You can price maintenance by visit, by month, or annually — and generate recurring service proposals or annual maintenance agreements with the same one-click export as installation work.
Does ScopeTakeoff work as a landscaping estimating app on mobile?+
Yes. ScopeTakeoff is fully web-based and works in any browser on mobile, tablet, Mac, or PC. There’s nothing to install. Estimators can enter quantities from the job site on their phone and get an automated landscape estimate immediately — making it a practical landscaping estimating app for contractors who measure and quote in the field.
What’s the difference between landscape estimating software and landscape takeoff software?+
Landscape takeoff software measures areas and quantities from plan drawings — SF of planting beds, LF of edging, count of trees. Landscape estimating software takes those quantities and applies unit costs to generate a priced bid. ScopeTakeoff does both: upload a PDF plan, measure areas directly on the drawing, and those quantities automatically flow into priced landscape assemblies to generate a complete proposal. One tool, no double-entry.
