This is a free lawn care estimate template built around how maintenance actually bills: per visit, per application, per season. Mowing, trimming, and blow-off price by the visit with the visit count right on the line; fertilization and weed control by the application; aeration, overseeding, and dethatching by the square foot; the spring and fall cleanups flat. Load it in the builder, set your counts, and price a whole season on one page the client can actually read.
Maintenance bids die by vagueness. A season priced as one number invites one negotiation, every March, forever. A bid with the visit count and per-visit rate visible turns weekly-versus-biweekly into arithmetic instead of an argument, and it makes the upsells legible: the aeration line is right there, priced, waiting for a yes. This template also keeps the cleanups separate from the mowing, because they are separate jobs that happen to involve the same lawn.
Every section below loads into the builder exactly as listed. This is the actual checklist, not a preview of one. Delete what your job doesn’t need and price the rest.
Mowing and edging, string trimming, and blow-off priced per visit, with the visit count on the line where the client can see the season's shape.
Unit: per visit. Quantity = visits in the term.
Fertilization, weed control, and grub treatment per application; aeration, overseeding, and dethatching by the square foot. The upsell section, pre-itemized.
Applications each; area treatments per sq ft.
Hedge and shrub trimming each, bed weeding by the hour, mulch top-ups by the cubic yard, and the bed edge redefined before it argues with the mower.
Spring cleanup, fall cleanup with leaf removal, and debris haul-off by the cubic yard. Separate jobs from mowing, priced like it.
Open it in the builder and the season is already structured: recurring service, turf health, beds and shrubs, seasonal cleanup. Delete what this property doesn't need. A mow-and-go account is three lines; a full-service estate uses the whole sheet.
Set the visit counts and your rates: mowing by the visit, treatments by the application, aeration by the square foot, mulch by the yard. The P&L updates as you type, so you can see whether the account clears margin after drive time or just feels busy.
Export a clean client bid: services, counts, prices, one total. It's generated from a copy that never held your costs or margins, so the client sees a season plan, not your fuel math.
The full guide (units, tax math, deposits, exports) lives on the Help page. It’s genuinely thorough. We’re as surprised as you.
Four sections: recurring service (mowing and edging, trimming, blow-off, priced per visit with the count on the line), turf health (fertilization and weed control per application, aeration, overseeding, and dethatching by the square foot), beds and shrubs (hedge trimming, bed weeding, mulch top-up, edge redefinition), and seasonal cleanup (spring, fall, and haul-off). Together they cover a maintenance season the way it's actually sold: a base of visits with priced add-ons.
A standard mow-and-edge visit typically runs $30 to $85 with most yards near $50, and a quarter-acre lot commonly lands at $45 to $65 per mow. Spring cleanups usually run $100 to $300 and fall cleanups $150 to $600, driven by leaf volume and haul-off. Ranges are wide because lot size, gates, and drive time move the number, which is why this template prices per visit and per line: your bid comes from your route, not a national average.
Both, because the document is the same. Commercial and HOA work usually asks for a bid; residential clients say estimate or quote. Whatever the header needs to say, what wins the account is the same structure: visible visit counts, per-visit rates, and priced add-ons. If the property manager wants a line-item season bid, this exports one.
Yes, with no trial clock. The builder runs without an account, and the free plan includes every export: client PDF, Excel, CSV, an internal budget export, and a read-only share link that carries a client-safe copy inside the link itself. A free account adds one cloud-saved estimate. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: your branding on client exports, no Estimatery footer, unlimited cloud saves, and a Saved Items catalog for the services you bid on every property.
