Landscaping & hardscape
Give it the patio area and it works out the pavers, the sand, the base and the crew hours; give it the lawn area and it works out the rolls of sod and the topsoil — with a seasonal-maintenance page and a snow-removal page on your website. Daybook speaks landscaper.
Landscaping is a project trade, and the app was built for project work: a lead, a site visit, a quote, a win, a schedule, an invoice. Not a template with a different noun in the headline: landscaping has its own job types, its own checklists, its own quoting words, its own price list, its own catalog of pavers and stone and its own website, and every screen that used to say brick or mortar says patio, bed or cubic yard to a landscaper.
The takeoff is the part that earns its keep, and landscaping is one of the few trades here that has one. Enter the paver area and the quote works out the pavers plus waste, the bedding sand, the bags of polymeric sand at seventy-five square feet a bag, the compacted gravel base by the inch of depth, and the lead and helper hours to screed, lay, cut and sand. Enter a wall length and a height and it works out the blocks, the caps, the clear stone behind the face, the drain pipe and the hours. Enter the lawn area and it works out the rolls of sod at ten square feet a roll, four inches of topsoil under it and the hours to lay it. No per-yard spreadsheet, no guessing at coverage.
On top of everything Daybook does for every trade — the full list is here — landscaping gets its own tools.
Square feet and linear feet in, yards, rolls, bags, plants and crew hours out. Hardscape, planting & beds, sod & seed, irrigation, grading & drainage, seasonal maintenance, tree & shrub care and snow clearing — each job type opens with its own scope chips, from excavation and compacted base through French drains and irrigation zones to plow visits and salting.
Interlocking pavers, flagstone, wall block, caps and step units, crushed base, bedding and polymeric sand, edging, perforated pipe, clear stone and fabric, screened topsoil, garden mix, mulch, sod, seed and fertilizer, trees by the caliper and shrubs by the pot, heads, pipe, valves and a controller, ice melt, skid steer, mini excavator, compactor and stump grinder by the day, delivery and disposal — a labelled starter list on day one, with your own prices on it.
A site assessment before you quote — area size, drainage, slope, clay, roots, utilities nearby, whether the gate is wide enough for a machine, whether locates are ordered, sun and soil, and photos of the space from each side; a completion & handover with the final grade sloping away from the house, the watering instructions given and the plant warranty written down; and a maintenance visit report with the work done, the time on site, whether the gate was closed and anything the owner should hear about — attached to the right jobs automatically.
Hardscape, planting & beds, sod & seed, irrigation, grading & drainage, seasonal maintenance, tree & shrub care, snow clearing — the job types, the quoting examples and the document preview all speak landscaping, down to a quote line that reads Install 320 sq ft of paver patio.
Try the pavers and wall stone from your own catalog on the customer’s own photo of their own house, and let them compare in their portal. Six house-front sample photos come bundled if you want to try it before a real one arrives.
Base and polymeric sand, grade, swale and French drain, zone and head, a yard of topsoil, a roll of sod, a #3 shrub, cleanup and season — drafts and job summaries use a landscaper’s vocabulary, and the auto-classifier prefers hardscape when a job names both a patio and planting, and files recurring mowing, cleanups and bed care as maintenance even when they mention mulch.
Your account starts with a real landscaping site template — a seasonal-maintenance page and a snow-removal page included — edit it in the app, and the quote-request form asks what they are hoping to do, roughly how big the space is and what season they are aiming for, then drops a real lead straight into Daybook.
Your own numbers beat any feature list — square feet in, and the pavers, the base, the sand and the crew hours come out on the quote.
