AI-Powered Takeoff and Estimating Tools for Landscaping Contractors
Are your landscaping bids bearing less fruit than you hoped for?
Estimating for landscaping projects comes with unique challenges. Our AI-powered digital tools help you streamline your workflow, reduce manual work, and bid faster with confidence.
Products for Every Step of Your Workflow
Landscaping bids cover a lot of ground—literally. Our suite of digital takeoff and estimating tools help you move off paper, measure irregular sites with precision, and turn quantities for sod, plantings, hardscapes, irrigation, and more into accurate bids faster than ever.
On-Screen Takeoff®
- Count landscape items like trees, shrubs, planter beds, sprinkler heads, and irrigation lines directly from digital plans, using linear takeoff for curbs and edging, area takeoff for turf and beds, and counts for fixtures and site furnishings.
- Create fast, accurate quantity measurements and calculations for areas and counts, you just point, click, and drag instead of drawing by hand.
- Use AI powered Takeoff Boost with On-Screen Takeoff to get a fast first pass of areas and counts, then spend your time reviewing and refining results instead of tracing every roof by hand.
Quick Bid®
- Assemble detailed cost estimates quickly and easily, turning your landscape quantities into material and labor pricing for everything from trees and sod to sprinkler lines and site lighting.
- Reduce data entry errors and miscommunications by automating the functions that cause costly mistakes on complex multi-layer landscaping bids.
- Manage burden and add overhead and profit markups in one place, giving you clear visibility into how plants, hardscape, irrigation, and labor contribute to your final bid price.
Digital Production Control®
- Track labor efficiency and the percentage complete of your landscape work so you immediately see when crews are falling behind expected production and can make adjustments on site.
- Narrow the gap between how many trees, shrubs, or square feet of sod you think your crews can install in a day and what they are capable of in the field by comparing estimated rates to actual performance.
- Maintain a clear record of work completed and labor used across phases, which supports better schedule discussions and helps reduce surprises at project closeout.
How Landscaping Contractors Are Using AI-Powered Takeoffs to Grow Capacity Without Adding Staff
Takeoff Boost has tools designed for landscaping contractors, which cuts takeoff time by up to 95%. See how AI-powered tools can eliminate time-consuming tasks by automating measurements, so landscaping professionals can focus on pricing, strategy, and winning more bids.
Net Areas
Automatically segments each room and calculates net area along the inside edge of exterior and interior walls.
Footprint Areas
Detects and measures building footprint along the outside edge of exterior walls.
Ceiling Areas
Finds ceiling areas and splits them into gypsum board (GWB) and acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) or by ceiling type when specified.
Wall Linear Footage
Calculates total wall linear footage for standard walls on architectural floorplans.
Walls by Type
Breaks wall linears out by partition type when those types are labeled on the plan (e.g., different stud/gypsum assemblies).
Wall Surface Area
Generates painting linears for both sides of interior walls, giving painters a fast baseline for surface area quantities.
Existing Wall Detection
Identifies existing walls so you can exclude them from new work and avoid over-counting when bidding remodels, build-outs, or partial renovations.
Windows and Window Types
Finds windows and can classify them by window type based on plan tags and symbols.
Doors and Double Doors
Detects and counts doors and double doors, including location on the plan.
Plumbing and Building Fixtures
Counts toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other fixtures so trade contractors can skip manual symbol counting.
Right-Click Reassignment
Quickly reassign results to your own Conditions with a right click, so quantities flow into the naming, phasing, and assemblies you already use. Learn more.
Delete Results
Delete unneeded takeoff results without losing the Conditions themselves, keeping your structure clean while you refine results. Learn more.
Edit & Move Conditions
Rename, recolor, move, and group Conditions so results fit your naming and organization standards. Learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Landscaping estimating software helps contractors measure quantities and build bids directly from digital plans instead of relying on manual takeoff and spreadsheets. With On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid, you can calculate areas and volumes for sod, planting soil, mulch, and paving, count trees and sprinkler heads, and turn those quantities into accurate landscape bids more efficiently.
On-Screen Takeoff lets you calculate total area or volume of sod, planting soil, sand, pavers, sidewalks, and irregular shapes, and it can easily handle counts for sprinkler heads and irrigation lines.
You use linear, area, and count Conditions to measure curbs, turf, beds, and fixtures the way you price them, while color coded takeoff and annotations make it easy to see what has been covered on the plan.
On-Screen Takeoff handles the landscaping quantities, then sends them to Quick Bid where you can assemble detailed cost estimates quickly, review them, and revise them with last minute changes that are automatically recalculated.
Landscaping contractors can quickly calculate everything they need to estimate and bid on projects from trees to sod to sprinkler lines, manage burden and markups, and keep material pricing up to date.
Digital Production Control tracks labor efficiency and percent complete for your landscaping work, so you can see right away if you are under expected production and do something about it before the budget or schedule slips.
Over time, this helps you narrow the gap between planned and actual productivity and gives you better data to fine tune future estimates.
AI-powered takeoff with Takeoff Boost is especially helpful on large, complex landscape plans because it automates much of the repetitive measuring across multiple pages, then lets your estimators review and adjust results in On-Screen Takeoff.
That time savings translates into more bids per estimator, faster turnaround on addenda and design changes, and more time to focus on design options and value engineering that set your landscaping firm apart.
