Gardening and landscaping companies need to quote differently depending on whether it's a garden design project, an irrigation installation or a recurring maintenance contract. For creation projects, the quote needs to detail the plant species by common and botanical name, the substrate, the irrigation systems, the outdoor lighting and the hardscape elements such as paths, pergolas or retaining walls.
For recurring maintenance contracts — residents' associations, businesses, private gardens — the key is to specify what each visit includes: mowing, pruning, clearing, pest treatments, feeding and tidying of communal areas. The monthly price should reflect seasonality, since the tasks and frequency vary considerably between spring-summer and autumn-winter.
DealForge makes it easy to create gardening quotes with automatic calculation of monthly and annual rates. You can send maintenance contracts with digital renewal, or project quotes with a breakdown of plant materials, labour and machinery. The client signs electronically and both parties keep a clear record of what was agreed.
