What’s slowing landscaping estimators down?
Manual landscaping takeoffs are holding you back from more bids and better profits
You can’t submit what you don’t estimate
Manually measuring planting areas, calculating materials, and determining irrigation requirements consume days, slowing down your ability to submit multiple bids or respond to time-sensitive RFPs.
Limits time for refining estimates
With manual takeoffs, you’re constantly revising as project specs change. This time could be better spent on refining your estimates, working with suppliers, and managing client relationships.
AI-based takeoff software for landscaping contractors
Gain back 15–20 hours per week and scale your bid volume
Save 90% of time on landscaping takeoffs
Let Beam AI automatically extract all quantities, from tree count to irrigation systems and hardscape area, without any manual tracing. Free up time to pursue more work.
2X your bidding capacity without growing your team
With Beam AI handling the heavy lifting, you’ll free up hours to focus on strategic pricing, team coordination, and bidding more. Your bid volume will soar, while your margins improve.

What is a landscaping takeoff?
A landscaping takeoff is the process of identifying and measuring quantities to calculate materials like soil, trees, mulch, irrigation, and hardscapes.
- In construction jobs, this is done from landscaping plans, planting schedules, and blueprint drawings.
- In maintenance jobs, this involves using aerial imagery to measure lawns, shrubs, hedges, trees, sidewalks, and other site elements.
How does landscaping takeoff software work?
Landscaping takeoff software like Beam AI automates the entire process — no manual tracing needed.
- For construction jobs, you upload your landscaping plans, confirm scope, and Beam AI extracts all material quantities directly from the drawings.
- For maintenance jobs, you enter the property address, confirm or edit the lot boundary, and AI measures lawns, beds, trees, and hardscapes from aerial imagery.
Every output is reviewed by our QA team before delivery, so you receive accurate results in shareable formats like Excel, PDF, or view-only links.
Can Beam AI be used for both softscapes and hardscapes?
Yes. Beam AI supports takeoffs for all aspects of landscaping:
- Softscapes: planting areas, trees, shrubs, hedges, grass, mulch, irrigation, and groundcover.
- Hardscapes: walkways, patios, retaining walls, sidewalks, and other built elements.
What format are the takeoff results in?
Export your landscaping takeoff in custom Excel formats for estimating, generate branded PDFs for clients, or share a simple link for stakeholders.
How does AI-based landscaping takeoff software handle revisions?
Beam AI detects changes across addenda. You’ll get a side-by-side Addendum Variance Report, highlighting any quantity changes, new items, and updates for seamless revisions.
How does pricing work for AI-based landscaping takeoff software?
Beam AI operates on an annual subscription model tailored to your project’s needs. You’ll receive credits for usable sheets, which can be applied throughout your subscription period. Visit the pricing page for full details.
