Accurate landscape estimating is essential for delivering beautiful, functional, and budget-conscious outdoor environments. Whether you’re working on a commercial complex, public park, or high-end residential development, having precise landscape estimates helps you control costs, plan procurement, and submit competitive bids. At USA Estimating Solutions, we specialize in providing detailed landscape estimates tailored to each project’s design intent, material choices, and regional pricing.
From softscaping to hardscaping, irrigation to lighting, our estimates go beyond basic material counts. We review the full scope of landscape drawings, specifications, and site plans to provide a clear, comprehensive picture of costs and quantities.
We also include allowances for plant losses, waste factors, and soil amendments to ensure accurate and reliable cost projections.
Landscape work is often one of the final phases of a construction project but can have a big impact on first impressions and property value. Inaccurate estimates can lead to budget overruns, change orders, or poor quality materials being substituted.
Whether it's new construction or renovation, we adapt our estimates to the scale and complexity of the job.
We collaborate closely with landscape architects, general contractors, and developers to ensure alignment on project scope and expectations.
Whether you’re bidding a commercial landscape package or budgeting for a public greenspace, USA Estimating Solutions provides the clarity and accuracy you need to succeed.

Our estimators are experienced in working with LEED guidelines, local environmental ordinances, and native planting strategies. We provide detailed cost estimates for drought-tolerant plantings, bioswales, rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable paving systems. By including these sustainable elements in your bid or budget, you improve long-term value while meeting environmental goals and gaining points for green building certifications.
Landscape work is closely tied to seasonal cycles, and those timing constraints affect both cost and availability. Our estimates reflect real-time market conditions and seasonal adjustments—such as higher labor costs during peak planting months or limited availability of certain plants in colder regions. We help you plan around lead times, seasonal material sourcing, and scheduling impacts so that your landscape installation can proceed without unexpected delays or costs.
Balancing softscape (plants, soil, turf) with hardscape (pavers, walls, decks, furniture) is crucial to both design intent and budget success. We break down your landscape estimate by category so you can clearly see where money is being allocated. This allows owners and designers to make informed trade-offs—for example, reducing decorative stone in favor of higher-quality plantings or optimizing square footage of permeable paving to meet budget targets without sacrificing performance.
Irrigation systems are often overlooked in early budgets but can become a major line item—especially on large or drought-prone sites. We provide detailed estimates for irrigation system components, including valves, controllers, piping, drip lines, and sprinklers, along with water-saving features like rain sensors and smart controllers. By including these in our scope, you can forecast not just installation costs, but also long-term operational savings from efficient water use.
Accurate estimating of landscape maintenance costs is vital for the long-term success and sustainability of any project. Our team evaluates all routine maintenance tasks such as irrigation system servicing, seasonal pruning, fertilization schedules, and pest management. Including these ongoing expenses in your budget helps prevent unexpected costs that can arise after installation. Proper maintenance planning ensures your landscape stays healthy, attractive, and functional year-round. We help clients develop realistic budgets that support both aesthetics and operational needs.
Understanding the total lifecycle cost of your landscape investment is essential for smart budgeting and resource allocation. Our estimates consider plant longevity, replacement cycles, soil amendments, and material durability over time. This analysis enables you to balance initial installation costs against ongoing maintenance and replacement expenses. By forecasting these future costs, you can make informed decisions that minimize surprises and improve return on investment. Lifecycle cost analysis also supports sustainable design choices that reduce long-term environmental impact.
Selecting plants and materials suited to your site’s climate and environmental conditions is key to reducing maintenance and replacement costs. We work closely with landscape architects to identify species that thrive locally and require minimal water, fertilizers, or pest control. Incorporating these choices into your cost estimates promotes sustainable landscapes that endure and flourish over time. This approach not only reduces operational expenses but also enhances resilience against weather extremes and climate variability. Durable, climate-appropriate selections contribute to both budget stability and environmental stewardship.
