FOR LANDSCAPING CONTRACTORS

AI-Powered Landscaping Estimating Software

Count plants, measure bed areas, and calculate hardscape quantities in minutes. Tectonic reads landscape plans and generates accurate takeoffs automatically.

The Landscaping Estimating Problem

Manual takeoffs waste your time and cost you money. Sound familiar?

Plant Counting is Tedious

Trees, shrubs, perennials, groundcovers - counting individual plant symbols across large sites takes hours and is easy to miscount.

Bed Area Calculations

Irregular planting bed shapes make area calculation difficult. Mulch, soil amendment, and irrigation coverage depend on accurate square footage.

Hardscape Quantification

Pavers, concrete, stone walls, edging - each material requires different measurements and has different installation labor rates.

Irrigation Coverage

Matching irrigation zones to planting areas, counting heads, and calculating pipe runs adds another layer of complexity to landscape bids.

How Tectonic Solves It

AI-powered takeoffs that work the way you think.

Automated Plant Counting

AI identifies and counts plant symbols by type. Separate quantities for trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcover, matched to the plant schedule.

Bed Area Measurement

Calculate planting bed areas including irregular shapes. Automatically compute mulch and soil amendment quantities from area measurements.

Hardscape Takeoff

Measure paver areas, wall linear footage, and edging quantities. Tectonic handles curved and irregular shapes common in landscape design.

Irrigation Quantification

Count irrigation heads by type, measure pipe runs, and identify valves and controllers from irrigation plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about landscaping estimating with Tectonic.

Can Tectonic read plant symbols from different landscape architects?

Yes. Tectonic's AI recognizes common plant symbols and can learn custom symbol libraries. It matches symbols to plant schedules for complete identification.

How does the software handle groundcover areas?

Tectonic measures groundcover planting areas and calculates plant quantities based on specified spacing. It accounts for staggered planting patterns.

Does it work with irrigation plans?

Absolutely. Tectonic reads irrigation plans to count heads, measure pipe runs, and identify equipment. Separate irrigation takeoffs can be generated.

Can I calculate mulch and soil quantities?

Yes. Once bed areas are measured, Tectonic calculates mulch coverage at your specified depth and soil amendment quantities based on area and depth.

How does Tectonic handle phased landscape projects?

You can organize takeoffs by phase or zone, allowing you to price different phases separately or bid individual areas of a larger project.
