5 Quoting Mistakes Landscapers Make (And the Fix)
Avoid these common quoting errors that cost you time and money. Here's how to fix them with AI.
1. Underestimating site prep time
Landscapers often forget to account for clearing old plants, leveling, or removing rubble. This eats into your profit. Use photo based quoting software to capture every detail in seconds, not hours.
2. Not including travel and disposal fees
Drive time and green waste dump costs add up fast, especially for out of town jobs. Build a standard line item for transport and tip fees into every quote. AgentBuddy lets you set default extras so you never forget.
3. Pricing plants and materials too low
Garden centres and bulk suppliers change prices without warning. If you quote old numbers, you lose margin. With AgentBuddy you can store live supplier prices and update quote templates in one click.
4. Ignoring the weather delay clause
Rain and wind can stop planting or paving for days. If your quote doesn't mention weather delays, customers expect you to work in the mud. Add a standard weather clause. AgentBuddy can insert it automatically into every quote.
5. Hand writing quotes on site
Scrappy paper quotes look unprofessional and often miss key items like GST or payment terms. Take a photo of the job, send it to AgentBuddy, and get a polished quote back in under a minute. Customers see you as a pro.
