Walk the yard, price the project your way - "paver patio 400 sq ft at $18/ft, retaining wall 60 linear feet at $45/ft, 12 boxwoods at $65 each" - and AI formats a branded, line-itemed estimate in 60 seconds. You set every price. We make it look professional and get it signed. Built for solopreneur landscapers and small crews who'd rather be on the mower than at a desk.
When the season starts, you're booked with consultations. The homeowner walks you through their vision - patio, plantings, retaining wall, irrigation. You nod, take notes, and promise an estimate by Friday. By then, the other landscaper already sent theirs. You didn't lose on price. You lost on speed.
FastEstimateMaker puts a branded, line-itemed estimate in the homeowner's texts before you leave the walkthrough.
No laptop. No office. Just your phone and your voice.
Walk the yard with the homeowner. Understand their vision - patio, plantings, grading, irrigation, fence.

Describe the project in plain English - "paver patio 400 sq ft at $18/ft, retaining wall 60 linear feet at $45/ft, 12 boxwoods at $65 each, 8 yards mulch at $55/yard, sod 2,000 sq ft at $1.25/ft, labor 3 days at $1,200/day" - you dictate the scope and the price. AI formats it into a clean, branded client portal in under 60 seconds - with a PDF backup. Your pricing, your margins.
Patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, pergolas - alongside plantings, sod, mulch, irrigation, and seasonal color. Speak it all in one pass and AI creates a single, organized estimate the homeowner can understand. Every line item. Every price. Your way.
Big landscaping projects take time to decide. Homeowners talk it over, check the budget, wait for spring. FastEstimateMaker generates pre-written, job-specific follow-up texts ready to send - "Hi Lisa, just checking in on the backyard project. Want to get on the spring schedule?" You review it, tap send, and you stay top-of-mind without chasing. Need a different angle? Generate a new follow-up on demand right from your dashboard.
When you're working a property, the neighbors are watching. Plan your route, log every door - interested, scheduled, not home - and set follow-up reminders. One backyard transformation on a street can turn into three when neighbors see the results. Text them your booking link right from the canvass popup - they pick a time, and the appointment is in your pipeline.
Maintenance is the half of the business that carries you through the slow weeks - and it is the half that never gets billed on time. Bill the route once, then set the cadence - weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, or quarterly - and FastEstimateMaker generates and sends every period's invoice after that on its own, PDF and pay link attached, on the Stripe, Square, PayPal, or Venmo rail you already use.
No card is charged and nothing is stored on file, so there is no autopay to sell a homeowner on and no expired-card cleanup in the middle of July - they tap and pay. Raise the rate in spring, pause a property for the winter, or end the series after a set number of invoices; edits hit future invoices only, so anything already sent stays as the customer saw it. Design and install work is still a one-time quote, and both live on the same customer record - so the patio you built two summers ago is in front of you when they call about the retaining wall.
"Did a consultation for a full backyard redesign - patio, fire pit, retaining wall, plantings. Spoke the whole scope into my phone during the walkthrough. $18,000 estimate was in their texts before I pulled out of the driveway. Signed it the next morning."
- Mike T., Greenstone Landscapes, Austin TXYes. Speak both - "paver patio 400 sq ft at $18/ft, retaining wall 60 linear feet at $45/ft, 12 boxwoods at $65 each, 8 yards mulch at $55/yard" - and AI organizes everything into one detailed estimate with separate line items.
Yes. Quote it once so the customer sees exactly what they are getting - "weekly mowing $65, monthly edging $40, quarterly fertilizer application $120" - then put the billing on rails with recurring invoices. Bill the route once, set the cadence (weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, or quarterly), and FastEstimateMaker generates and sends each period's invoice on its own, with the PDF and pay link attached. It never charges a card and nothing is stored on file, so the customer just taps to pay. Raise the rate in spring, pause a property for the winter, or end the series after a set number of invoices - edits only apply to invoices that have not gone out yet. Recurring invoices are included in the $29.99 Solo plan.
Yes. When you text the estimate link, the customer opens it, reviews every line item, and taps Accept. You get an instant notification. No printing, no scanning - just approval and you get on the schedule.
Yes. Speak each zone or phase - "front entrance planting $4,200, parking lot islands 8 at $380 each, irrigation 12 zones at $350/zone, seasonal color rotation $1,800/quarter" - and AI creates one comprehensive estimate.
Perfect use case. Speak the service and the price - "fall cleanup half-acre lot $450, gutter clearing $175, bush winterization 22 shrubs at $15 each" - and send a branded estimate in 60 seconds.
Yes. Instead of one lump sum at the end, put a payment schedule on the estimate - a deposit due at signing to cover pavers, block, and plant material, then the balance at completion, or milestone payments across a multi-phase build. Attach your contract and the homeowner signs it electronically on the same link, so the signature and the deposit both land before you order a single pallet.
Yes, and it is included in the $29.99 Solo plan. When an invoice is paid in full, FastEstimateMaker can automatically text that customer a Google Business Profile review request - right when the new patio or the freshly cut lawn is the best it will ever look. You can also send a review link to any customer yourself in one tap.
