Landscaping Quote Template
Planting plan, bed prep, plant sizes and the watering the client owes. Free PDF, no sign-up.
A planting job is drawn before it is planted, and the drawing is what makes the price bind: so many shrubs at this container size, so many yards of mulch, so many hours of bed preparation. The part clients underestimate is the soil, and the part they forget is the watering they are responsible for afterwards — a warranty on plant material means nothing without it. Both belong on the document.

Questions
Why does container size matter in a quote?
Because it is most of the plant's price. Three-gallon shrubs and one-gallon shrubs make identical drawings and very different invoices, so a quote that lists counts without sizes has not really said what the client is buying.
How should a plant warranty be written?
With the watering obligation attached to it. A one-year warranty is generous and defensible when the quote says the client waters deeply twice a week through the first season; without that sentence, it is an open promise about weather.
What if the nursery is out of a plant?
Say on the quote that substitutions are offered for approval before anything is planted. Availability moves week to week, and a client who is shown the substitute in advance treats it as normal rather than as a downgrade.
