This landscaping cost calculator divides the area by a production rate to get hours, then adds labor and a material price per square foot. Use it as a landscaping calculator, a lawn care cost calculator, a land clearing cost calculator, a lawn mowing calculator, a mowing calculator, or a snow removal cost calculator. Every price is an estimate you enter.
Job estimate
$2,130.00
Planning estimate from the numbers you enter. Coverage, density, waste and price are assumptions, not a supplier quote or an engineering specification.
How it works
Five thousand square feet at 2,500 square feet per hour is 2.00 hours. At $65 per hour the labor is $130.00. At $0.40 per square foot the material is $2,000.00. The job estimate is $2,130.00. For mowing, set the material price to zero and use the square feet your crew actually finishes in an hour. For land clearing or snow, put the production you can defend in the rate and the dump or salt cost in the material price. The defaults are not a regional price. A small lot with obstacles will not hit an open-field production rate.
Formula
The lawn mowing calculator is this formula with material at zero. The snow removal cost calculator and the land clearing cost calculator are the same formula with your own rate and price.
Example
Hours are 2.00. Labor is $130.00. Material is $2,000.00. The landscaping cost calculator total is $2,130.00. Zero the material price and the lawn care cost calculator result is the labor alone.
Tips
A mowing calculator that uses a golf-course rate on a fenced yard will underbid the job. Time a few properties before you trust the rate. Travel between stops is not in the area. Add it to the hours or the price.
Equipment
Dengaro arranges financing for a mower or a skid steer. The job price is not sent as a loan amount.
Important questions
No. It is a placeholder so the example has material dollars. A mulch job and a mowing job should not share that number. Type the price you actually charge or pay.
Set material to zero. Set production to the square feet you mow in an hour. The hours and the labor price are the bid.
Only if you put salt in the material price per square foot, or add it into the labor rate. The form has no separate salt line.
No. Gates, slopes, and cleanup slow the rate. Lower the production number until it matches the crew you have.
