Remove scope ambiguity
Name the areas, services, materials, preparation, cleanup, exclusions, and site assumptions that shape the price.
Landscaping proposal template
Create a landscaping proposal that is easy to approve.
A good proposal answers the customer's practical questions before they have to ask. It identifies who is doing the work, what is included, what it costs, when the offer expires, and how the customer can approve it.
Make the price readable
Use clear line items or a defined project price with deposit, tax, validity period, and payment expectations.
Give one next step
Send a private link the customer can review and accept without printing, scanning, or creating an account.
Connected workflow
What every landscaping proposal should cover
- 01
Contractor and customer
Show the contractor's business or trade name and contact information along with the customer's name and service address.
- 02
Detailed project scope
Describe materials, quantities, installation, preparation, cleanup, access, exclusions, and any customer responsibilities.
- 03
Price and terms
State the total, taxes, deposit, payment schedule, proposal expiration, change-order expectations, and relevant warranty language.
- 04
Approval record
Provide a simple acceptance action and preserve the sent, opened, accepted, or declined activity with the saved estimate.
What to know
Proposal, estimate, or contract?
Businesses use these terms differently. An estimate usually communicates expected scope and price, while a proposal often adds a fuller explanation of approach and value. A contract creates binding obligations and may require terms beyond a standard estimate.
Choose the document and language that fit the job and local requirements. YardMeasure helps prepare and track estimates; contractors should have their legal terms reviewed for their business and jurisdiction when appropriate.
Common questions
Questions contractors ask
What should a landscaping proposal include?
Include contractor and customer details, service address, scope, materials, price, tax, deposit, schedule assumptions, exclusions, validity date, terms, and a clear approval step.
Can the customer approve a YardMeasure estimate online?
Yes. A contractor can send a private link that lets the customer review, accept, decline, or leave a note without creating an account.
Can I revise a proposal after sending it?
Saved estimates remain editable. When the scope changes, you can duplicate the estimate as a new revision and preserve the job history.
