The short answer
A landscaping price list is the menu of what you charge: mowing by lot size, cleanups as ranges, mulch by the cubic yard installed, hedge trimming and pruning by the hour, aeration and seeding by the visit, planting by the plant, and the rule for materials. It needs your business details, the date the prices took effect, your service area, how to book, the list itself — service, what's included, unit, price — and the fine print: the deposit on installs, how mowing is billed, and tax.
Price by the unit the customer can see: “mowing, edging and blowing, up to ¼ acre — $45–$65 per visit” and “hardwood mulch, delivered and installed — $85 per cubic yard” are lines a homeowner can budget from before they call. Keep the hourly line for hedges and pruning, where the bush decides how long it takes.
The list is a guide; the quote is the price. Say so — “every job is quoted in writing before we start” — and price every quote from the list, so two quarter-acre lots on the same street get the same number.

LINE BY LINE
What goes on a landscaping price list
Every line on the template, in order, and what to write on it.
| The line | What to put there |
|---|---|
| Your business details | Business name, phone, email, website — and your pesticide applicator license number if you apply fertilizer or weed control. The list gets handed across fences; it has to say how to book. |
| The date, and the service area | When these prices took effect and how far you travel. Lawn care runs on a tight route; the area line saves the calls you can't take. |
| Prices valid, and the rule | How long the prices hold, how mowing is billed, what books a cleanup or an install, and the line that every job is quoted in writing before you start. |
| How to book | Text, call, email, your website — and the photo-of-the-yard offer, which gets a mowing quote out the same day. |
| Mowing by lot size | One line per size band — up to ¼ acre, up to ½ acre — with what a visit includes and how often. A range inside each band, larger lots quoted from a photo. |
| Cleanups and seasonal work | Spring and fall cleanups as ranges or from-prices with what's included; aeration and overseeding by the visit for a stated lot size. Say which season each belongs to. |
| Mulch by the cubic yard, hedges by the hour | Mulch delivered and installed at a price per cubic yard with the depth and the bed prep stated; hedge trimming and pruning hourly with a height limit — the bush decides the time. |
| Installs, haul-away and materials | Planting by the plant, sod by the square foot, with plants and materials at cost plus your markup on their own line; debris haul-away per load with the dump fee included. |
| Deposit, applications and tax | What books an install, who applies fertilizer and weed control, and whether tax applies. In the US, whether sales tax applies to your work — and whether it falls on the materials, the labor, both or neither — depends on your state, so keep materials and labor on separate lines and check your state's revenue department or your accountant. Outside the US: a GST-registered business in Australia or New Zealand and a VAT-registered business in the UK or EU show consumers prices that include the GST or VAT, and show the tax on the invoice the same way. Confirm the details with your accountant. |
STEP BY STEP
How to make a landscaping price list
An evening with last season's invoices and your route map.
List every job you billed last season
Mowing visits by lot size, cleanups, mulch jobs by the yard, hedge hours, plantings — from the invoices. The ones you did most are your fixed-price lines.
Work out your cost per crew-hour
A year of costs — wages, the truck and trailer, mowers and their repairs, fuel, dump fees, insurance, software — divided by the hours you'll actually bill across the season. That's break-even; add your margin.
Turn lot sizes into visit prices
Time your last ten quarter-acre visits: minutes on site × crew × your rate, rounded. A range inside the band for corners, slopes and fences. Repeat for the half-acre band.
Price mulch by the yard and hedges by the hour
Mulch: your cost per yard delivered, plus the time to spread one yard × your rate, rounded. Hedges: hourly, because the bush decides — with a height limit on the line.
Add cleanups, installs, haul-away and materials
Cleanups as ranges from last fall's hours; planting per plant with the plants at cost plus markup; haul-away per load with the dump fee in it. Write what's included under every line.
Date it and save it where your quotes are
Put the date on it, review it every February before the season and after a fuel or mulch increase, and keep the working copy in your quoting tool so every quote reads from the same numbers.
How to set the prices on a landscaping price list
Start from your costs, not the competition. Add up a season of running the business — wages including your own, the truck and trailer, mowers and repairs, fuel, dump fees, insurance, software, advertising — and divide by the hours you'll actually bill, which is far fewer than forty a week once driving between lawns comes out. That number plus your margin is the rate every visit price is built from. For what's normal, how much to charge for lawn mowing has the 2026 US rates by lot size and frequency, and a calculator.
Price mowing by the lot, not the hour. A quarter-acre visit is close to the same job every week once you've done it twice — time ten of them, average, and the visit price rewards you for a tight route and a sharp blade. Put a range inside each size band for the corner lots and the fences, and quote anything bigger from a photo.
Mulch by the cubic yard, installed. Customers can count yards; they can't count hours. Your cost per yard delivered plus the time to spread one yard × your rate is the line. Say the depth and the bed prep it includes, so a three-inch job and a top-up aren't the same price.
Hedges and pruning stay hourly. The bush decides how long it takes, and a flat price for “trim the hedges” is the job that eats a Saturday. Hourly with a height limit and “confirmed before we start” keeps it honest; the quote says how many hours you expect.
Keep plants and materials off the flat rates. Planting is a price per plant for the labor; the plants, the sod and the stone are at cost plus a markup on their own line, itemized on the quote. The labor line never changes when the nursery's price does.
Fertilizer and weed control need a license. In the US, applying pesticides — including most weed-and-feed products — for hire needs a state applicator license or certification in most states, and federal rules require applicators to keep a record of every restricted-use application for two years: product, amount, date and site. Put “by a licensed applicator, quoted per season” on the list if you offer it, and check your state's department of agriculture for the license and the record you have to keep.
Know your tax rules. In the US, whether sales tax applies to your work — and whether it falls on the materials, the labor, both or neither — depends on your state, so keep materials and labor on separate lines and check your state's revenue department or your accountant. Outside the US: a GST-registered business in Australia or New Zealand and a VAT-registered business in the UK or EU show consumers prices that include the GST or VAT, and show the tax on the invoice the same way. Confirm the details with your accountant.
Keep your working landscaping price list in Zarla's price book
A printed landscaping price list is for the customer. The one that runs your business is the private version — the price you actually charge for each service, the unit, and the note to yourself about why — and it belongs where your quotes are written, not in the glovebox.
If your landscaping website is on Zarla, the quoting tool keeps a price book in the same dashboard: every service you sell with one price, a range or a “from” price, per job, hour, square foot or your own unit, and a private one-line note. Zarla shows what you last charged for each service, lists the services on your website that don't have a price yet, and lets you add a line to a quote or an invoice straight from the book — so a quote takes two taps per line and the arithmetic is done for you. The book never appears on your website: your site shows what you do, the book holds what you charge, and the quote is where a customer sees the two meet. In the US, several trades can start their book from a typical price range in one of our published pricing guides, which you accept, edit or dismiss; Zarla never sets a price on its own.

Landscaping price lists: common questions
Your business details and your applicator license if you apply fertilizer or weed control; the date the prices took effect and your service area; how to book; mowing by lot size with what a visit includes; spring and fall cleanups as ranges; mulch by the cubic yard installed; hedge trimming and pruning by the hour; aeration and overseeding by the visit; planting by the plant with materials at cost plus markup; debris haul-away per load; and the fine print — deposit, how mowing is billed, and tax. Add the line that every job is quoted in writing.
By the job wherever you can see it in advance — mowing by lot size, mulch by the yard, aeration by the visit, planting by the plant — because customers can budget for it and a fast crew earns more, not less. By the hour for hedges, pruning and anything the plant decides, with a height limit and the hours stated on the quote. Most landscaping price lists carry both.
It varies by area and lot; the example list charges $45–$65 per visit for up to a quarter acre, weekly or every two weeks. Our lawn mowing pricing guide has the 2026 US rates by lot size and frequency and a calculator — set yours from your own cost per crew-hour and check them against those.
The price list is your standard prices for every service, published once and valid until you change it. The quote is the price for one customer's yard — this lot, these beds, this many yards of mulch — worked out from the list, and it's the quote that sets the price for that job. Say on the list that every job is quoted in writing.
As a rule, not as a number: “plants, sod, stone and materials at cost plus 20%”, itemized on the quote. Nursery prices change with the season and the customer's choice, so a fixed plant price on the list goes stale by June.
The flat ones, yes — mowing by lot size, mulch per yard, aeration per visit — and “from” prices for cleanups and installs. A page with real units gets fewer calls, from people who've already decided you're in their budget. Keep the full working list, with your margins, private.
In the US there is no general rule that a service business must publish a price list, though some trades have their own — auto repair shops in some states must post their labor rate, and in many must give a written estimate before work starts. In Australia, consumer law says any price you show consumers must be the total price including GST; in the UK and EU, a price shown to consumers should include VAT. Check your local rules.
Say which, on the list. Businesses selling to homeowners usually show the price the customer pays; businesses selling to other businesses often show prices before tax. In the US, whether sales tax applies to your work — and whether it falls on the materials, the labor, both or neither — depends on your state, so keep materials and labor on separate lines and check your state's revenue department or your accountant. Outside the US: a GST-registered business in Australia or New Zealand and a VAT-registered business in the UK or EU show consumers prices that include the GST or VAT, and show the tax on the invoice the same way. Confirm the details with your accountant.
Yes. The landscaping price list template downloads free as a Word document and a PDF — no email address, no sign-up. Edit the Word file in Word, Google Docs or any app that opens Word documents, or print the PDF and fill it in by hand. There's no Excel version; if you'd rather work in a spreadsheet, the same three columns — service, unit, price — are all it needs.
A private one. If your landscaping website is on Zarla, the quoting tool keeps a price book in the same dashboard: every service with one price, a range or a “from” price and its unit, plus a private note to yourself. You add lines to quotes and invoices straight from it, and it never appears on your website. For a printed list to hand customers, use the template above.
