LANDSCAPING / LAWN CARE ESTIMATING.

## Landscaping Estimates in Dallas Move Fast — Your Bids Should Too Dallas is a top-five market for residential landscaping spend. New construction in Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, and Celina keeps feeding the pipeline. HOA communities in Southlake and Flower Mound demand polished proposals, not handwritten quotes on a clipboard. If you're slow to bid, the next landscaper on the list gets the call. Estimate.Pro gets you from a job walkthrough to a sendable bid in 8 minutes. That's the median time our contractors log, start to finish. --- ## What Makes Dallas Landscaping Estimates Different **Clay soil adds scope.** North Texas is blanketed in expansive black clay — the same stuff that heaves driveways and buckles sidewalks. Every irrigation trench estimate needs to account for the extra labor to cut through it and the backfill compaction required to keep sprinkler lines from shifting. Estimate.Pro's saved material cost workspace lets you store your local trench-per-linear-foot rate so it auto-populates on every bid. **Heat drives irrigation density.** Dallas averages 230+ days of sun per year. Turf replacement and irrigation installs spike every spring, and drought-tolerant redesigns have become a recurring line item as the city adds tiered water restrictions under Dallas Water Utilities rules. Your estimates need separate line items for drip vs. rotary head zones — the material and labor rates are not the same. **Hardscape scope creep is real.** Decomposed granite paths, flagstone patios, and retaining walls are common upsells on Dallas residential jobs. Retaining wall estimates should reference ICPI and site-specific grade change. The app lets you walk the slope, capture measurements with AR on supported devices, and price segmental retaining wall courses without switching to a spreadsheet. **Permits are site-specific.** Dallas proper requires a grading permit for any fill or cut exceeding 50 cubic yards. Suburban municipalities like Plano and Garland have their own thresholds. Missing a permit requirement burns margin fast. The app flags scope categories that typically trigger permit review so you can add that cost before you send. --- ## How Estimate.Pro Works for Landscapers 1. **Walkthrough capture.** Open the app on your phone or tablet. Walk the property. Use live AR measurement on supported devices to measure beds, turf areas, and hardscape footprints. Camera or photo measurements are flagged as estimates — no false precision. 2. **AI scope-of-work.** The app reads your walkthrough notes and measurements, then drafts a line-item scope covering demo, material, install, and cleanup. You review and adjust — it doesn't lock you out of your own numbers. 3. **Priced estimate.** Pull from your saved material cost workspace to apply your Dallas-specific material prices. Labor rates stay with your account. The estimate renders as a professional PDF you can send from the field. 4. **Get paid.** Pro+ accounts run $0 platform fee through Stripe Connect. Free tier runs 3%. Invoice exports are available on Elite. --- ## Pricing That Fits a Landscaping Operation - **Free forever** — no credit card, no expiration. Good for solo operators testing the workflow. - **Pro at $39/seat/mo** — full estimating, AR measurement, saved cost workspace. - **Elite at $79/seat/mo** — adds Stripe Connect invoicing and invoice exports. - **Crew at $399/mo flat** — covers the whole team, no per-seat math. A crew running three bids a day in Allen or Cedar Hill doesn't need per-seat pricing that scales against them. Crew tier caps the cost. --- ## Built for 25 Trades, Including Yours If your crews also handle irrigation repair, outdoor lighting, fencing, or concrete flatwork, those trades are already in the app. One login covers the scope. You're not stitching together separate tools for every service line you offer. Dallas landscapers compete on speed and professionalism. A client in Preston Hollow who gets three bids will sign with the contractor who sends a clean, itemized proposal first. Eight minutes from walkthrough to sendable bid is how you get there.
