What's Included:

Landscaping is quoted worse than almost any other trade, because everything that decides whether a patio is still flat in five years is buried where the client will never see it. This document brings it above ground.

✅ 25-page proposal layout, written specifically for landscapers.

✅ Six work stages — survey and setting out, clearance and sub-base, drainage and services, hard landscaping, planting, finishing and handover — already written, so you delete what doesn't apply instead of writing from scratch.

✅ A paving build-up diagram showing the client exactly what they're paying for, layer by layer, from the surface down to the subgrade. No competitor template has anything like it.

✅ Materials specification page listing paving, sub-base, mortar, edgings, topsoil, turf and planting by make, type and quantity — including whether slabs are laid on a full mortar bed or on five dabs, which is the difference between a terrace that lasts and one that rocks after two winters.

✅ Sub-base depth stated in writing. The single most important line in a landscaping quote, and the one almost nobody puts in. A driveway on a patio-depth sub-base ruts within two winters.

✅ A full page of exclusions — buried obstructions, tree works, invasive species, structural retaining walls, drainage connections. The things gardens hide, listed before you start digging.

✅ Costs broken down stage by stage, not one figure at the bottom, with a separate line for access, protection and waste removal.

✅ Programme with a weather and season clause — turf and planting cannot go into frozen or waterlogged ground, and the client needs to know that before it happens.

✅ Optional extras with tick boxes — garden lighting ducts, irrigation, an outside tap, extra drainage. All a fraction of the cost while the ground is already open and the machinery is already there.

✅ Variation Request Form for the moment the excavator finds an old foundation nobody knew about. Three options, signed off before you carry on.

✅ Price Objection Scripts — eight objections and exactly what to say to each, so you hold your price instead of discounting.

✅ Follow-Up Email Sequence — five ready-written messages over three weeks, for the quotes that go quiet.

✅ 12-Page Setup Guide covering every step, from adding your logo to exporting the finished document.

✅ Built-in terms, acceptance and signature page, including a planting establishment clause that ties your guarantee to the aftercare you hand over.

✅ Pre-filled with real landscaping wording. You change the details, not write the document.

✅ Fully editable in Canva with a free account. No software to install, no design skills, no subscription.

✅ Send digitally or print and bind it. A bound proposal handed over at the end of a survey is a different conversation from an email attachment.

✅ Instant download. Set up once in ten minutes, then five minutes per quote forever.
