Pavers, wall blocks, caps, decorative rock, aggregate, sand, mulch, plants — every product you actually buy is in the library with a price field ready for your real cost. Add your own custom materials on top in seconds.
Hover any tile to see the product name. Hover the row to pause it.
Scroll to follow the flow — customer's yard to money in the bank.
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.
Tap "Get AI Ballpark." Based on the note, your material prices, your labor rates, and past jobs — you get a real number to give the customer while you're still standing on their patio.
Same photo, AI-cleared. The brush is gone, the yard's graded flat, fresh topsoil laid — a photorealistic preview of what you're going to do. Customer sees it done before signing anything.
One tap: the note + render become a polished proposal with materials, labor, equipment, overhead, and margin — all dialed to YOUR numbers. Attach the render, send them a link.
AI drafts the contract from the estimate — payment schedule, warranty, insurance. Customer signs with their finger. Status flips to Won automatically. Signed PDF in your inbox.
Employees clock in from their phones, foreman pulls up the job rundown — materials, scope, photos, notes. Hours land on the invoice automatically. Nothing gets lost.
Send the invoice with one tap. Customer pays online — money in your Stripe account in 1–2 days. Every step from note to paid stays tracked in one place so nothing slips.
The mobile app is where the magic happens on-site — snap photos, take voice notes, get AI ballparks in the driveway, send renders and estimates right from the customer's yard.
I'll get on a quick call, walk you through how to set up your business so every estimate matches your real costs, and answer anything specific to the kind of work you do — patios, walls, lawn installs, drainage, all of it.
Outdoor Estimates is an all-in-one platform for landscape and hardscape contractors. It includes AI-powered project estimating, customer-ready proposals, contracts with e-signature, professional invoices, a 2D/3D landscape design tool, and an AI photo-render feature that turns a description and a yard photo into a finished design. Homeowners can use the design tools for free and get matched with a vetted local contractor.
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.
Paver patios, walkways, paver driveways, retaining walls, sitting walls, garden walls, steps, fire pits, fire pit kits, mulch beds, rock beds, sod and seed installations, hydroseed, French drains, drainage projects, grading and excavation, demolition and disposal, concrete, blacktop / asphalt, and water features. The estimating engine handles all of it. See the full list.
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.
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.
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."
"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."
"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."
