Quoting headaches Quoto fixes for landscapers.
Quoting on the spot from a clipboard while the customer's expecting a number by tonight
Big multi-stage jobs that need a clean breakdown, not a wall of numbers in an email
Forgetting to add tip fees, machine hire, or the day-rate uplift for offsite labour
Following up on quotes you sent three weeks ago and lost track of
Built for the jobs landscapers actually quote.
Turf, mulch and garden refresh
Calculate square metres on site, itemise materials, labour and delivery — send the quote before the customer's kettle has boiled.
Retaining walls, decks and paving
Multi-stage quotes broken into prep, build and finish — with photos and notes attached so the customer knows exactly what's included.
Irrigation and lighting
Bundle controllers, valves, drip line, sprinkler heads and labour — save your usual kit as a template and drop it in next time.
Your line items. Saved. Ready to drop in.
Save the line items you quote week in, week out — labour, materials, callouts, surcharges — then drop them into any quote in a couple of taps.

Landscapers ask us this all the time.
Can I quote per square metre and have the total work itself out?
Yes. Set a per-m² (or per linear metre) rate on any line item, type the size, and Quoto calculates the total — including GST.Can I attach site photos to a quote?
Yes — snap a photo of the site, attach it to the quote, and the customer sees exactly what's being quoted on. Great for retaining walls and big multi-stage jobs.What about staged payment landscapes — deposit, mid-job, final?
Show the staged breakdown on the quote so the customer knows the payment schedule up front. Push accepted quotes to Xero and invoice each stage from there.Is it any good for a one-person landscaping business?
It's the sweet spot. The free Starter plan handles solo landscapers all day, and you only step up to Pro when you want branded PDFs or Xero sync.
