Landscaping Business Spreadsheet | Landscape Estimating and Job Costing Template Excel Google Sheets | Quote & Profit Calculator

Most estimating templates add up what a job costs. This one tells you what to charge.

It works out what an hour of your time actually costs - wage, burden, non-billable time and overhead - then loads every quote with the right overhead, stress-tests the price before you send it, and tracks the job's real margin while you can still do something about it.

Thirteen linked sheets. 2,465 working formulas. Built for landscaping and hardscaping contractors: full garden redesigns, patios and paving, driveways, decking, fencing, turfing, planting schemes, drainage and commercial grounds.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

* A real overhead rate, not a guess.
Enter your annual overhead and crew data once. The workbook calculates your fully burdened labour cost, your cost per BILLABLE hour (you pay for travel, quoting, surveys and holidays too - most templates ignore this), your break-even hourly rate, and the rate you must actually sell at to hit your target margin.

nage, due dates and net cash position
12. Bid Pipeline - 100 quotes, win rate overall and by job type, won-margin vs lost-margin
13. Dashboard - every key number on one screen, with alerts

Phases are set up the way the trade actually works: design and site survey, site clearance, excavation and muck away, drainage and services, sub-base and foundations, retaining walls and steps, paving and patios, decking, fencing and gates, turf and seeding, planting and beds, irrigation, garden lighting, final clean and handover.
