How This Works

Cost-Plus Pricing

The estimator uses the industry-standard cost-plus method: direct costs (labor + materials + equipment) are calculated first, then overhead and profit margins are applied on top.

Production Rates

Labor hours are derived from crew-based production rate benchmarks — for example, a 2-person crew installs 1.5–2.5 cubic yards of mulch per hour, or 500–800 sq ft of sod.

Customize for Your Business

Expand “Adjust Business Parameters” to enter your actual burdened labor rate, overhead percentage, profit target, and materials markup — the estimate updates instantly.
