Volumes, not vibes
The concrete calculator gives m³, cement, sand and aggregate for C20, C25, C30 and screed; mortar and brickwork calculators cover walls and edgings.
Quoting software for landscapers and groundworkers
Groundworks and landscaping are priced in tonnes, cubic metres and days of digger — and lost in the muck-away nobody counted. EstiMate's concrete and mortar calculators give volumes and bag counts; the quote lists plant, skips and aggregate as their own lines; and staged payments keep you funded through the dig.
- Patios and paving
- Driveways — block, resin and tarmac
- Footings, slabs and oversite
- Drainage and soakaways
- Retaining walls and fencing
- Full garden design and build
What a good landscaper's quote needs
Priced properly, explained clearly, paid on time
Plant, skips and muck-away
Digger hire, dumper, skips, grab lorries — line items with quantities and days, so the client sees them and you don't fund them.
Weather and ground risk
Provisional sums for unknown ground, and variations for what the dig actually finds, approved by the client with one tap.
Payments that follow the phases
Deposit, dig and sub-base, laying, completion — milestones tracked and chased automatically.
Where landscapers & groundworkers lose money on quotes
- Muck-away tonnage guessed and under-priced
- Sub-base depth not specified, then argued about
- Plant hire days absorbed into labour
- Drainage found to be broken with no variation process

Questions landscapers & groundworkers ask
Can I price aggregate and plant on the quote?
Yes — any material or plant line with its own unit (tonnes, m³, days) and price. Labour is a package per phase.
How do I deal with unknown ground?
Use a provisional sum with clear wording, then price the real work as a variation once the ground is open. The client approves online and the contract updates.
Does the concrete calculator do footings and slabs?
Yes — volume from dimensions, then cement, sand and aggregate for the mix you choose, with bag counts.
Can I log receipts for aggregate from the yard?
Yes, from the phone app or web — photos of receipts against the job feed Cost control and the Accounts tab.
