A Landscapers blog…

The diary of a landscaper

Quick tip for estimators..

I might be teaching people how to suck eggs here but as I know that other landscapers are reading the blog it seems fair to try to pass on the odd snippett that might be useful.

When I’m putting a quote together I often visit a number of different websites for information, prices, etc. Today is a typical one. The garden I’m quoting has a welded liner for the pool, stainless steel cables over the pergola, a type of brick that we’ve never heard of and various other bits and bobs. I’ve visited perhaps 20 sites for information.

What I do is create a folder in Explorer ‘favorites’ and mark it with the clients name. Then I put all the websites relevent to the job into that folder. That way I have all the salient sites at my finger tips no matter how far into the future it may be before the project starts.
