Landscape estimating software that keeps the labor in the price
Build the estimate from your own materials and rates, let the labor lines add themselves, offer the upgrades, take the deposit at signing and see afterwards what the job really made.

Landscape estimates go wrong in the same few ways. The labor gets left off a material line. The quote takes three days to send, and the customer signs with someone faster. The customer adds a wall halfway through and nobody writes it down. Or the price was right, but nobody ever checks whether the job made what it was supposed to. Each step below closes one of those gaps.
Landscape bidding software, built for the site visit
From the walk-around to a signed estimate.
Your own price list
Pavers, base, sod by the pallet, mulch by the yard, plants by size, and your labor rates. Search it while you build.
Automatic lines
Rules that add the matching labor or delivery line when you add a material, once or for each unit.
Optional upgrades
Lighting, drip irrigation or a better paver as add-ons the customer ticks. The total updates as they choose.
Discounts with a reason
Take a percent or dollar amount off a line, with the reason written on it, so margins don't vanish quietly.
Sign and pay a deposit
The customer signs on your phone in the yard, or scans a QR code to sign and pay the deposit later.
Change orders
Extra lines with their own deposit, approved by the customer before the crew builds them.

An estimate before you leave the driveway
Walk the yard, measure, and build the estimate on your phone while the customer is still standing there. Add 320 square feet of pavers and the automatic line rule adds the install labor and base prep that go with it. Add the optional lighting package and the customer can decide with the price in front of them. Text or email it, or turn it straight into an invoice. You'll see when they open it, and an estimate follow-up goes out if they go quiet.
- Itemized lines the customer can read
- Opened tracking on every estimate
- Automatic follow-ups, on or off
- Turn it into a service plan for maintenance
Signed in the yard, deposit in hand
Hand the customer your phone and they sign with a finger, or show a QR code so they can read it, sign and pay on their own phone that evening. Set the deposit as a percent or a fixed amount, enough to cover the materials order. If the plan changes on day two, send a change order with the extra lines and its own deposit, so the extra work is approved before the crew builds it.
- E-sign at the door or by QR code
- Deposits as % or $
- Change orders the customer approves
Landscaping billing software without the retyping
The signed estimate becomes the invoice, deposit included, so the balance is one tap when the job is done. Maintenance customers can go on a service plan with autopay after each visit. At month's end, send up to 100 finished jobs in one batch. Every estimate and invoice sits in one list, with this month's revenue and profit at the top and an unpaid filter for the ones to chase.
- Deposit, then balance on the same job
- Batch invoicing for up to 100 jobs
- Unpaid-invoice reminders
- Invoices and payments sync to QuickBooks Online
Estimate vs actual
Once a job is done, job costing puts the parts, labor and expenses against it and the job profit report shows what you kept. Compare that with the estimate and you'll find the line you keep underpricing, whether it is retaining wall block or the hours to haul out old sod.
What it doesn't do
FieldStacker doesn't do takeoffs from plans or aerial images, and it doesn't build an overhead-recovery budget for you. LMN is built around budgeting and estimating, from $297/mo after an onboarding fee, and SingleOps Plus lists job site measurements and mapping and options-based proposals, from $350/mo billed yearly (both checked October 26, 2026). For the wider comparison, see best lawn care and landscape estimating software.
Landscape estimating questions
What should landscape estimating software do?
It should build a price from your own materials and labor rates fast, show the customer a clear itemized estimate, take a deposit when they sign, and tell you afterwards whether the job made what you estimated. FieldStacker does that from your phone, with automatic lines that add the labor that goes with each material.
Is this landscape bidding software for commercial bids?
It is built for residential and small commercial estimates sent one customer at a time. If you bid large commercial maintenance contracts with overhead recovery budgets, LMN is built around that kind of budgeting and estimating.
Can it measure the yard for me?
No. FieldStacker does not measure lawns, beds or hardscape areas from satellite images or plans. You measure on site and type the quantities. SingleOps, for tree and landscape companies, lists job site measurements and mapping on its Plus plan.
Can I offer options like lighting or an upgraded paver?
Yes. Add optional add-ons the customer ticks before signing, such as landscape lighting, drip irrigation or an upgraded edge. The total updates as they choose.
Is it also landscaping billing software?
Yes. A signed estimate becomes the invoice, with the deposit already applied. You can send the balance when the job is done, put maintenance customers on autopay, batch-invoice up to 100 finished jobs, and sync invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online.
What does it cost?
FieldStacker is $30/mo, or $25/mo billed yearly, with a 14-day trial and no card. Card payments go through your own Stripe account at standard Stripe rates, with no FieldStacker fee on top.
