AI quoting tools for landscapers and gardeners in the UK

Landscaping quotes run from a £30 lawn cut to a five-figure garden build. The two need different templates: a recurring price for maintenance, and an itemised scope with groundworks, materials and waste for projects.

Prices were re-checked on each provider's own page; the date is next to each one. Rules and figures from GOV.UK are linked where they're used.

Maintenance pricing

Quote maintenance as a price per visit or per month, with what's included (mowing, edging, hedge cutting, clippings removed) and how often. ServiceM8 and Tradify both list recurring jobs, so a maintenance quote becomes a repeat booking.

Projects

Itemise excavation, sub-base, materials (slabs, sleepers, fence panels), labour days, skips or waste removal, and making good. Say what happens if you hit roots, services or rubble.

Waste and VAT

Waste removal needs a registered waste carrier (GOV.UK). Landscaping done as part of a construction job is on the VAT reverse charge list (GOV.UK), but garden work for homeowners isn't affected.

Questions

Which app suits regular rounds?

ServiceM8 prices by jobs a month (free for 30 jobs, Starter £25 for 50), while Jobber prices by plan and users. Checked 15 October 2026.

Should waste removal be a separate line?

Yes. Show it separately, with skip or tip costs.

Are these prices in pounds?

Not all. Where a provider only publishes US dollar prices we show dollars, so check the price in pounds at checkout.

Do you get paid if I sign up?
