They pay the deposit on the same link, so the money is in your account before you begin.
Built for landscapers, not adapted for them
Every figure below is read from the Landscaping rate card, takeoff engine and hazard library inside Sumitt when this page renders. It cannot say more than the product does, and it moves the day the card does.
The Landscaping rate card
Size field: Area (m²)18 lines in 5 groups, 5 switched on before you touch anything, 4 with a grade or billing basis to pick.
- Softscape
- Hardscape
- Irrigation
- Site
- Labour
- Turf supply + lay: Kikuyu, Couch, Buffalo (Sir Walter), Zoysia
- Excavation / site prep: per m², per day
- Landscaper: per day, per hour
Australian guide rates factored across 10 regions, every one of them editable. Guidance, not gospel.
The takeoff engine
Say it like this. The engine reads the scope, works out the quantities, prices them off your card and tells you what it assumed. Deterministic arithmetic; no AI touches the numbers.
- “50 m2 buffalo turf”
- “60 m2 buffalo turf + 20 m2 garden beds with mulch, 15m edging”
- “30 m2 of pavers”
The safety pack
A SWMS drafted from the job you priced, with the landscaping hazard set on top of the common site hazards.
- Site clearing & excavation
- Planting, soil & materials
Priced lines add their own: Waste disposal & tip runs.
Extra PPE: Ear protection for blowers/mowers; Chaps and face shield when brush-cutting.
2 site questions to confirm before sign-off.
You review it against the site, edit it and sign. Sumitt prepares the paperwork; it does not assess your site or make your business compliant. Safety packs are part of Pro, and the free trial includes Pro.
Price books
Import your supplier’s or wholesaler’s price list and quote from real trade prices instead of a guide rate. Every line stays editable on the quote.
Books, exports and the rules
Paid invoices land in Xero as drafts, and quotes, invoices and payments export as CSV. Sumitt warns when a total crosses a Queensland, New South Wales or Victorian licence line, and never blocks.
The Trade Rate Index shows the benchmark cost of the jobs landscapers quote most and the rates that leave a floor, healthy or premium margin, derived from the same rate cards. Not a survey, not advice.
Straight answers
Does it handle turf, beds and paving on one quote?
Yes. Turf supply and lay comes in the common varieties at their own rates, with mulch, soil, bed prep, plants, edging, paving, road base, pebble and decking on the same card. Type the scope and the engine sets the quantities from the areas and runs you give it.
What about excavation and the tip run?
Excavation and site prep bills per square metre or per day, and garden waste disposal is a per-load line. A disposal line adds tip-run hazards to the safety pack and an excavation line adds machine hazards, so the paperwork mirrors the priced job.
Does the SWMS cover locating services before you dig?
The landscaping hazard set opens with site clearing and excavation, including locating services before any digging, then planting, soil and materials handling. The draft asks you to confirm the high-risk questions on site before sign-off. You review and sign; Sumitt prepares the paperwork.
Can I take a deposit on a big yard in my state?
Sumitt asks your client for the deposit you set. No state's rule makes Sumitt block or lower it. What a deposit may be on your contract is yours to check with your state's regulator. Not legal advice.
Sumitt provides software and templates, not legal, financial or tax advice.
