Announcing v1.0 of The Landscape Estimator

After several years of development, iteration, and plenty of real-world thinking, we’re excited to officially launch v1.0 of The Landscape Estimator.

This release marks a major milestone. What began as an effort to simplify and standardize landscape project estimation has grown into a focused tool designed to help professionals plan, price, and communicate their work more effectively.

What The Landscape Estimator Does

The Landscape Estimator is built to take the friction out of estimating—one of the most time-consuming and error-prone parts of landscaping.

With v1.0, you can:

  • Build structured, consistent project estimates

  • Break down materials, labor, and components with clarity

  • Reduce guesswork and improve pricing confidence

  • Produce clean, professional outputs for planning and client communication

The aim is straightforward: make estimating faster, clearer, and more reliable.

From Internal Testing to Public Release

Up to this point, The Landscape Estimator has been tested entirely internally. That allowed us to refine the core experience, challenge assumptions, and build something we believe is genuinely useful.

Now, it’s time to open the doors and see how it performs in the real world.

Free Accounts Now Open

We’re opening free account registration starting today.

This phase is about learning—how people use the tool, where it helps most, and where it needs improvement. If you’re interested in improving your estimating workflow, we’d love for you to try it and share your feedback.

What’s Next (Next 3 Months)

Over the coming months, our focus will be on:

  • Fixing bugs and improving stability

  • Refining usability based on real usage

  • Making targeted improvements to core features

This is where the product will evolve quickly, guided by actual user experience.

Paid Plans Coming Soon

Following this refinement period, we plan to introduce paid subscription tiers that include:

  • Higher usage limits

  • Additional features and tools

  • Expanded capabilities for more advanced workflows

These plans could arrive sooner, but we’re intentionally not rushing the process. The priority is to make sure the foundation is solid and that any paid features deliver real, practical value.

A Special Thank You

A sincere thank you to The O’Connor family for their support throughout this journey, and for putting up with countless conversations, ideas, and discussions along the way. Your patience and encouragement played a bigger role than you might realize.


This is just the beginning.

We’re excited to see how The Landscape Estimator fits into your workflow—and we’re committed to continuing to improve it with your input.

Give it a try, and let us know what you think.
