Landscape contractors underestimate jobs by 25–35% on average — not because material prices are wrong, but because labor burden, travel time, equipment wear, and overhead allocation never make it into the spreadsheet. Those costs exist on every job. They just don’t show up until the books close at the end of the quarter. AI tools, used correctly, close that gap.
