Orlando, FL
LANDSCAPING / LAWN CARE ESTIMATING.

## Orlando landscaping runs year-round — your bidding process should keep up Central Florida's subtropical climate means no off-season. St. Augustine grass grows twelve months a year. Irrigation systems run constantly. Commercial properties near the I-4 corridor expect weekly maintenance schedules backed by written contracts. If you're still building estimates in a spreadsheet or quoting from memory, you're leaving jobs to whoever responds faster with a cleaner number. Estimate.Pro gives Orlando landscapers a field operating system: walk the property, capture measurements, and send a priced bid — median time is 8 minutes from first photo to client-ready document. --- ## What makes landscaping estimating different in Orlando **Turf type drives material cost.** St. Augustine sod runs higher per pallet than Bermuda or Bahia, and prices shift between Orange, Osceola, and Seminole County suppliers. Estimate.Pro's saved material cost workspace lets you lock in your current sod, mulch, and irrigation supply prices so every bid pulls from the same source — not a number you half-remember from last month's job. **Water management is a line item, not an afterthought.** The St. Johns River Water Management District restricts irrigation days and requires water-efficient design on new commercial installs. Quoting an irrigation system without accounting for rain sensors, controller specs, or reclaimed-water hookup requirements will cost you on change orders. The app's scope-of-work generator flags irrigation components as a distinct section so nothing gets buried in a lump-sum. **Hardscape work requires separate permitting.** Concrete driveways, retaining walls over certain heights, and pavers in flood-prone zones in Orange County require Orange County Zoning or Building Division permits before work starts. Estimate.Pro's trade is registered under landscaping and covers paver work (ICPI-aligned estimating), drainage grading, and plant installation — so one walkthrough captures the full scope. **HOA documentation requirements are real.** Orlando's suburban communities — from Lake Nona to Horizon West — often require contractor-supplied scopes of work and material specs before an HOA architectural committee approves exterior work. A clean, itemized estimate exported from Estimate.Pro doubles as that documentation without extra formatting time. --- ## How it works on the job site 1. **Walk the property.** Use AR measurement on supported devices (ONNX-assisted live AR) or upload photos — camera and photo measurements are flagged as estimates so you know what's verified vs. approximated. 2. **AI scope generation.** The app reads your measurements and walkthrough notes, then drafts a scope of work — turf areas, bed prep, mulch depth, irrigation zones, hardscape sections — in plain language your client can read. 3. **Price it from your workspace.** Pull from saved material costs and your labor rates. No re-entering supplier prices per job. 4. **Send it.** Pro and Elite users can collect deposits via Stripe Connect with 0% platform fee on Pro+ plans. Free tier users send estimates with no credit card required to start. --- ## Plans built for how Orlando landscapers actually operate - **Free** — no credit card, no time limit. Build and send estimates, learn the workflow. - **Pro — $39/seat/month** — saved material cost workspace, full AR measurement, 0% Stripe Connect platform fee. - **Elite — $79/seat/month** — Stripe Connect invoicing, invoice exports for QuickBooks sync, advanced workflows. - **Crew — $399/month flat** — one price for the whole crew, no per-seat math. If you're running a solo operation maintaining commercial plazas on International Drive or a crew handling residential installs in Dr. Phillips, there's a plan that fits without forcing you to pay for seats you don't use. --- ## Orlando-specific details you should have before you bid Orange County requires a Landscape Contractor license for jobs over certain dollar thresholds — verify current limits with Orange County Contractor Licensing before signing contracts. Florida also requires a separate Certified Pest Control Operator license if your crew applies any herbicide or pesticide, including lawn fertilizers containing weed control. These aren't edge cases; they come up on commercial bids regularly. Florida's right-of-way landscaping near FDOT roads has its own permit process. If any scope touches a road buffer strip, flag it early. Estimate.Pro doesn't replace your license knowledge — it gets your numbers on paper fast so you can spend more time on the work that requires your expertise. --- Sign up free. No credit card.
