For Homeowners

With Landscapepricer.com we are giving you the opportunity to cost your dream garden or driveway.

Designed by a former landscaper and a quantity surveyor, LPC has up to date costs from throughout the landscape industry.

LPC gives you a very accurate costing with details on each product as to how we get to that cost.

All the processes listed will include the relevant labour and materials required to complete the work. Where there are sections to select a budget that is just the cost of the product.

We know each job will have different hurdles to overcome with restrictions and pipes/cables that will turn up while the ground preparation is going on. But that happens whenever work is carried out, so where we try to be as accurate as possible there will be extra costs that will appear.

Also, landscapers and builders will have their own way of pricing up projects, we are just giving the homeowner a good insight into what their project may cost and by using the calculator they will see the various inputs for the level of finishes they can opt for.

Landscape companies can also use the calculators on a regular subscription basis, and they also can choose the level of finish, OHP they wish to make and if they are vat rated or not. All these options appear on the LPC calculator.

How to use the calculator: –

The demo version is limited to showing how the calculator works. The full version which can be purchased at the end of the demo is unlimited.
