CSI Division 32
Landscaping Estimating Services
Planting, sod, mulch, irrigation and hardscape from landscape plans.
From the landscape sheets we quantify sod and mulching by square foot, trees, shrubs and ground cover by count and size, irrigation zones, and hardscape. Our recreation center sample itemizes sod, decomposed granite and planting with a waste factor visible on every line.

Included in every estimate
- Sod, seed and mulching areas by SF with waste factors
- Trees, shrubs and ground cover by size and count
- Decomposed granite and rock mulch by depth
- Irrigation piping, heads and controllers
- Landscape edging, boulders and site furnishings
- Maintenance and establishment periods
The deliverable
An Excel workbook organized by CSI division. Every line shows the drawing or schedule reference, quantity, waste factor, unit, material cost, manhours and labor cost. A summary sheet rolls the divisions up and carries overhead, profit, insurance and contingency. You can hand it to a supplier for pricing or plug in your own rates.

Yes. Mainline, laterals, heads, valves and controllers are counted per the irrigation plan and priced with current material costs.
Can you match the plant schedule?
Every plant line references the schedule tag, so your supplier can quote directly from the estimate.
