Landscaping Quote Form
A landscaping quote form has to ask about the things you can't see from a photo: how you get a digger in, whether the ground drains, how steep it is, and where the spoil goes.
For builders, trades, contractors and site managers.
Access and spoil removal are half the price
A patio in a garden you can reach with a barrow is a different job from the same patio behind a house with a side gate and eight steps. Add removing three tonnes of soil through a kitchen and you have doubled the labour.
So this template asks about gate width, level changes and whether machinery can reach the working area - the three questions that most often turn a competitive quote into a loss. Drainage is the fourth, because a garden that holds water needs a different build-up entirely.
Fewer calls, better numbers
A phone call is a fine way to build trust and a terrible way to collect specifications - nobody remembers everything, and nothing is written down. Collect the facts in writing first, and use the call for the part that actually needs a human.
You'll also stop quoting jobs you didn't want: when the form asks about budget and timing, the mismatches disqualify themselves.
Site access, scope and dates decide the price
Two identical-sounding jobs price differently because of parking, access, floor level and whether anyone lives there during the work. Those are the questions that stop a quote becoming an argument.
Asking on a form also gives you a written scope. When the job changes - and it will - you have what was originally described, dated, in the customer's own words.
Price the right jobs
Every quote costs you time whether or not you win it. Asking about budget and timing up front isn't rude - it's how both sides avoid a week of conversation about a job that was never going to happen.

Questions
Can customers send photos of the garden?
Uploads are on the roadmap; for now ask for a link to photos or a satellite view. The access and levels questions here are the ones a photo wouldn't answer anyway.
Should I quote before visiting?
Give a range from the form and confirm on site. Customers appreciate a number, and the form's answers make the range narrow enough to be useful.
Can I ask for photos or files?
Not yet - uploads are on the roadmap. In the meantime, most people ask for a link to photos, or reply to the response with an email asking for them. Everything else about the job is captured here.
Can I see where each quote request came from?
Yes. Add a hidden tracking parameter to the link (for example one link on your site and another on your Google profile) and it's stored with the response.
How fast can I put this live?
About a minute. Pick the template, change the wording, press save - saving is publishing - and you get a link to share.
Can customers send photos of the job?
Not as uploads yet, but asking for a link to photos works today and most people already have them on a phone. The rest of the detail that drives your price is captured here.
