Landscaping

Everything a landscaper needs, in one login

Garden jobs move. The client adds a path, the ground is worse than it looked, the planting spec changes. TruTrade keeps the original price, the variation and the materials on one job so the nice photos are not the only thing you have at the end.

Landscaping

One login. The whole job.

01

Quote it in stages the client understands

Clear the site, lay the base, pave, plant. Each stage has a price and a payment, in a pack that does not look like a text message.

  • Margin and contingency set before you send it.
  • VAT and the payment schedule in the pack.
  • Revisions when the design changes.

The client agrees the stages, not a single hopeful number.

02

Take the deposit before you buy the stone

The payment schedule is part of the quote. Invoice the deposit, then the stages, and see what is still out.

  • Deposit and stage amounts on the estimate.
  • Invoices raised from that schedule.
  • Outstanding visible on the home screen.

You are not funding the patio yourself.

03

Materials stay on the job

Aggregate, flags, timber and plants come off the estimate. The spend hits the job, so you can see if the rate still works.

  • Lists by stage, printable for site.
  • Spend against the budget as it lands.
  • Merchant quotes on connected jobs.

The materials number is not a surprise at the end.

04

Changes stay in writing

An extra bed or a different paving bond is a variation in the client portal, with its own price. It is not a conversation you half-remember.

  • The client requests the change in their login.
  • You price it and keep it separate from the original.
  • Messages and photos stay on that garden.

The finished job matches what was agreed.

From the trade

Builders running the same app

“The quote pack alone wins me work. Clients think I’ve got a QS on the payroll — and the margin sliders mean the number that goes out is the number I meant.”
Matthew RenshawBuilder, Warwickshire
“I used to price on the hop and hope for the best. Now I set my margin before the client’s even called back, and I know where every job stands on a Sunday night instead of finding out at the end.”

“Invoices, CIS and the client portal in one place. My admin night has basically disappeared, and clients stopped ringing me for updates because they can see it all.”

FAQ

Straight answers

01926 352236 — Mon–Fri, 8–5.

Can I quote a small tidy-up and a full garden differently?

Yes. Each job has its own estimate. A day of clearance does not need the same build-up as a landscaping scheme.

What if the client wants us to price it from drawings?

You can price it in the app. If you want a TruTrade estimator to produce the takeoff, that is optional: £90, £180 or £255 + VAT.

Is the client portal extra?

No. Every project can give the client a login for the quote, messages, payments and variations.

What is included?

The whole app: estimating and live pricing, quote packs, a P&L on every job, the client portal, invoices, materials, TruChat, and payroll with CIS and PAYE.
