Garden Quotes Are Variable
Every garden is unique — slopes, soil type, access, existing features. Pricing fairly without underselling takes hours of measuring and thinking.
Material Sequencing
Sandstone, MOT, turf, fence panels — order in the wrong sequence and the job stalls. Hard to plan without a clear schedule.
Weather Dependency
Half your phases are weather-sensitive. Customer expectations don't always match the realities of weather delays.
Everything Landscapers Need
AI Garden Quoting
Describe the area and the spec — the AI calculates material volumes, waste, sub-base, plant list and labour for each phase.
Phased Schedule + Weather Flags
Quotes include phased timelines and flag weather-sensitive phases so customers understand realistic delivery windows.
Material Price Lookup
Live pricing for sandstone, porcelain, MOT, sand, fence panels, posts and concrete from major builders' merchants.
Branded PDF Quotes
Professional PDFs with phased pricing, payment milestones and clear weather/access caveats. Customers know what they're paying for.
Photo Analysis
Upload photos of the existing garden — the AI assesses access, slope, vegetation and recommends drainage or retaining work.
Remote Customer Quoting
Send a link — customer photographs the garden, marks measurements and you can quote without driving across town.
Garden Standards & Compliance
The AI checks your quotes against relevant regulations, so you never miss a compliance item.
- Permitted development limits for fences (2m / 1m boundary)
- BALI / APL trade standards
- Building Regulations for retaining walls > 1m
- SUDS drainage requirements for new patios
- Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) and conservation areas

Making Tax Digital and Landscapers
From 6 April 2027, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax covers sole traders and landlords whose qualifying income was over £30,000 in the 2025-26 tax year. Qualifying income is your self-employment and property income beforeexpenses, so it's your turnover, not your profit. If you're in, you keep digital records and send HMRC a short update every quarter.
The app keeps your books as you work: invoices become income, receipt photos become expenses, and the quarterly figures are ready to export for you or your accountant to submit. Filing straight from the app isn't available yet.
Worked example
Say a landscaper turns over £40,000 in 2025-26 and spends £18,000 on slabs, turf, plant hire and fuel.
- Turnover (what HMRC tests)
- £40,000
- Profit after costs
- £22,000
- Over £30,000?
- Yes, in from 6 April 2027
Their first quarterly update covers 6 April to 5 July 2027 and is due by 7 August 2027, even though their profit is under £30,000.
Illustrative figures, not a statistic. Rules from GOV.UK: eligibility, qualifying income, quarterly updates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the AI handle planning permission warnings?
Yes — when a fence > 2m or wall > 1m is quoted the AI flags planning permission requirements and adds likely fees.
Can it quote complex hardscaping like Indian sandstone?
Yes. Calculate area, sub-base depth, jointing compound, sealant and waste rate — all with live supplier pricing.
Does it factor in seasonal availability?
Yes. The AI flags weather-sensitive phases (concrete pours, turfing) and suggests scheduling windows.
Does it work for commercial groundworks?
Yes — domestic gardens through commercial groundworks with appropriate scale and specifications.
