How does voice-to-estimate work for landscaping?

You narrate the yard walk — areas, depths, materials, access, disposal — and the app drafts editable line items with quantities converted (square feet to yards, lawns to pallets). You review every line before it sends.

Does it work with earbuds or Ray-Ban Meta glasses?

Yes — phone mic, Bluetooth earbuds and headsets, or Ray-Ban Meta glasses used as standard Bluetooth microphone and speakers. Standard Bluetooth audio; not a direct Meta integration.

What's the advantage over notes on the truck hood?

The yard is in front of you. Areas spoken while pacing them, access noted at the actual gate, and photos attached mid-sentence beat numbers reconstructed later — and the quote exists before you leave.

A Voice-to-Estimate App That Talks the Yard Walk With You

Landscape estimating happens on your feet — pacing beds, eyeballing grade, checking the gate width, pointing at the dead juniper. It's the least desk-compatible estimating in the trades, which is why so many yard quotes are reconstructed at night from memory and a hood-scribbled note. Narrating the walk captures it while it's true.

Talk in the units you buy

"Front beds, one-twenty linear feet of edge, three inches of hardwood — call it twelve yards. Backyard, two pallets of sod along the fence, skim a yard of topsoil first. Gate is thirty-six inches — no machine, wheelbarrow rates." FieldSquire converts the narration into lines with quantities, flags the access note against the labor, and attaches the photos you shoot mid-walk to the lines they explain.

Hands free for the tape and the gate

Bluetooth earbuds — or Ray-Ban Meta glasses working as standard Bluetooth audio (no direct Meta integration) — keep the phone in your pocket while you measure and pace. Voice commands pause and resume between areas, with audio cues confirming state.

The draft respects your prices

AI drafts quantities and starting rates; you correct anything, and the correction becomes your private company price used first next time. Your mulch spread rate, your pallet-laid rate, your wheelbarrow multiplier — learned once, applied forever. Nothing sends without your line-by-line review.

Close in the driveway

Landscape enthusiasm has a half-life of about a weekend. The branded PDF with e-signature and deposit, arriving while you're both still in the yard, converts at the peak instead of after the decay. Test it on one walk — the landscaping estimating app is free for 14 days, no credit card.
