Turn a photo into a finished project

Snap the yard, pick your materials, and AI renders exactly what the finished job will look like. Drag the slider to compare.

Pick your render engine on every job — Google Gemini or OpenAI. If one doesn't nail the look, tap the other. You always get the two best models on the market.

AI render — finished project
After — the real finished job
AI RENDER AFTER

Landscape, hardscape, concrete, blacktop, decks, fences, excavating — every part of your business flows through the AI Assistant. It drafts estimates, sends invoices, schedules crews, chases follow-ups. All the tools around it are extensions of what YOU tell it to do.

Every product you buy — pavers, blocks, concrete, deck boards, fence posts — at your real cost.

The more you use it, the sharper it gets.

Every estimate, every material price, every closed job feeds a private profile of your business — labor rates, margins, suppliers, how you talk to customers. After a few weeks, estimates come out looking like you wrote them.

Every outdoor trade · real prices

Every material you buy is already in the library

Pavers, wall blocks, caps, decorative rock, aggregate, sand, mulch, plants, concrete mix, rebar, asphalt, deck boards, fasteners, fence posts, panels, gate hardware, drainage pipe — if it lives on a supply house shelf, it's in the library. Set your real cost once, or drop in your own custom materials in seconds.

Hover any tile to see the product name. Hover the row to pause it.

One contractor. One job. Start to paid.

Scroll to follow the flow — customer's yard to money in the bank.

Take notes on the fly

Pull up the app in the driveway. Snap photos of the overgrown yard, jot down what the customer wants — "clear all the brush, haul it, grade it out and drop fresh topsoil." Everything saves as you type.

Common questions

What is Outdoor Estimates?+

Outdoor Estimates is an all-in-one platform for outdoor contractors — landscape, hardscape, concrete, blacktop, decks, fences, excavating, anything with materials. It includes AI-powered project estimating, customer-ready proposals, contracts with e-signature, professional invoices, a 2D/3D design tool, and AI photo renders. The AI learns your pricing as you use it, so estimates get faster and closer to your numbers every job.

How does the AI actually learn my prices?+

Every estimate you build, every material cost you set, every job you close feeds a private profile of your business. The AI uses it as context: your labor rate, your typical margin, the suppliers you prefer, the phrasing you use with customers. After ~a dozen jobs, new estimates come out looking like YOU wrote them. Your data stays on your account — never shared, never used to train anyone else's model.

What does it cost?+

$19.99/mo base + AI usage billed at the end of each month. Most contractors land at $25–$75/mo total depending on how heavy they run the AI. Slow month? Your bill stays low. First 30 days are completely free — card required so you don't lose access on day 31. See the running total live in Billing so there's never a surprise.

Is the AI landscape design tool really free?+

Yes, completely free for homeowners. Upload a photo of your yard, type what you want, and the AI renders a photorealistic image of the finished project. Learn more about AI landscape design.

What kind of projects can I price with the estimating software?+

Paver patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, sitting walls, garden walls, steps, fire pits, mulch and rock beds, sod / seed / hydroseed, French drains, grading, excavation, demolition and disposal, concrete pours, blacktop / asphalt, decks (composite & wood), fences (wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum), fence gates, water features, drainage systems, gravel drives — anything outside with materials. The estimating engine handles all of it, and if it needs a material you don't see, add it in seconds. See the full list.

How much does a paver patio actually cost?+

A typical paver patio runs $22-$45 per square foot installed in the US. Our free paver patio cost calculator gives you an instant breakdown for your specific dimensions, paver type, base depth, and labor market.

Does the AI render use my actual yard photo?+

Yes. The AI uses image-to-image generation, so it edits your photo rather than drawing a generic landscape. Your house, fences, neighbors, sky, and trees stay exactly as they are — only the yard area gets the new project rendered onto it.

Can I choose which AI model does the render?+

Yes — every render lets you pick between the two leading image models: Google Gemini (nano-banana, our default) and OpenAI (gpt-image-1). Different models nail different scenes better. If one output isn't right, tap the other model and re-run — you're never locked in.

Is this better than HomeAdvisor or Angi for finding contractors?+

For outdoor projects specifically, yes — because you can show the contractor exactly what you want with the AI design or 2D/3D plan before you ever talk to them. That cuts misunderstandings, revision rounds, and wasted site visits dramatically.

Real feedback from contractors who switched to Outdoor Estimates.

★★★★★
"I used to spend an hour on every estimate. Now I describe the job, tweak a few numbers, and send it out in 10 minutes. This thing pays for itself on the first job every month."

Mike Rossi Rossi Hardscapes — Raleigh, NC
★★★★★
"The design tool is a game-changer. I showed a client the 2D layout on my phone at the job site and they signed the contract on the spot."
JT
Jamie Torres GreenLine Landscapes — Austin, TX
★★★★★
"We are a 5-man crew and none of us are tech guys. This was easy to set up, the proposals look professional, and clients take us more seriously now."
