The math most quotes miss
Worked examples from our cost engine — then run your own numbers.
A $650 cleanup with 45 min of round-trip drive time and a dump run hides $387 in unbilled costs: drive-time labor $96, fuel + wear $41, disposal $250. GreenMargins prices all three before you hit send.
Run your numbers →A $35/hr wage looks profitable billed at $60/hr — until payroll burden (WCB/workers’ comp, CPP/EI or FICA), PTO, and overhead put the true cost at $52–58/hr. GreenMargins shows the real hourly number for your crew, not the wage on the pay stub.
Calculate your true labor cost →A 50-minute round trip to the supplier, twice a week, is roughly $2,100/month in unbilled crew time at burdened rates. If travel isn’t a line in your quote, it’s a line out of your profit.

Is a Gamble on Your Business
Most landscapers quote from gut feeling. And gut feeling doesn't account for these:
Drive Time (Both Ways)
30 min to the job + 30 min back = 1 hour unpaid. Times 3 jobs/day = 15 hours/week you're eating.
Payroll Burden
Taxes, WCB, insurance, PTO. That $25/hr employee actually costs you $32-35/hr.
Fuel + Vehicle Wear
Gas, oil changes, tires, brakes, depreciation. Your truck isn't free to operate.
Disposal Fees
Dump runs, landfill charges, yard waste bins. Every cleanup has a hidden disposal cost.
Overhead Allocation
Rent, software, insurance, phone, marketing. Your monthly costs need to be in every quote.
Material Markup
Buying mulch at $45/yard and charging $45/yard? That's charity, not business.
Add it all up? You could be losing $500+ per job.
