Upload the quote and QuoteScore scores it 0 to 100 against regional pricing benchmarks, line by line, free and with no signup. Across the 185 landscaping quotes QuoteScore has scored, 37.8% scored under 50, meaning at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that job and region, so ask for a line-item breakdown before signing. Rule of thumb: 65 or higher is within the normal range, 50 to 64 is worth one competing bid before you sign, and under 50 has specific overpriced lines to negotiate by name.
Before you sign a landscaping quote
A landscaping quote usually lists plants and trees by size and count, hardscape materials by square foot or ton, soil, mulch and sod by the yard or pallet, irrigation parts, equipment and haul-away, and labor. QuoteScore reads the quote you already have, as a photo, a PDF or pasted text, splits it into those lines and compares each one against the regional benchmark range for that item, then returns a 0 to 100 fairness score that names the lines priced above market.
Of the 185 landscaping quotes scored so far, the average fairness score is 58.7 out of 100 and 37.8% scored under 50, which means at least one line was priced above the normal market range for that work and region. The count updates as new quotes are scored.
The lines that most often push a landscaping quote above market are plant material billed far above nursery prices for the stated container size, bulk materials with no quantity stated, a design fee that is not credited to the job, and labor as one round number. Before you sign, ask for the plant list with sizes and counts, the quantities of soil, mulch and stone, and the labor hours.
The check is free, needs no signup, and the file is deleted the moment the analysis completes. A score under 65 comes with the specific lines to negotiate and the benchmark range each one was measured against, so you can disagree with it.
