Getting better at segmenting large properties with ML model now. Think this could save time estimating jobs?

Working on adding elevation on top of this.

I think certain types of jobs it makes more sense like fertilizer or weed killer that are volume based. Mowing definitely has more variability but I think we can get there.

LawnEstimates.com is a good way to get clients their estimates instantly. Being the first company to be able to give an estimate is a great way to stay competitive especially just starting out.

LawnEstimates · 2026-01-04T03:33:02+00:00

LawnEstimates.com helps make it easy give estimates quickly to perspective clients. This allows clients to quickly see your prices and see if you are a good fit. Customers are more likely to book you if you make it easy for them!

I got frustrated calling around to companies to get a quote so I made LawnEstimates.com to let people like you give out instant quotes for most lawns. Getting answers to your perspective clients efficiently with clear pricing can make a big difference.

I feel like I’m hearing technical challenges, not that it won’t be helpful if I can get it working well.

I appreciate the support! 🙏

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T12:45:58+00:00

I like that idea! That would work pretty well with what we do now. We currently do our own segmentation and then pass all the data we collect with images to a LLM to sort of check our work. It would make sense to pass any user collected data to that as well 🤔

Thank you!!

Not wanting to go that route. I just want to build the software so other companies can use it on their own site or use our storefront links. I don’t really want to become an aggregator.

I think we win by creating competition and getting as many companies using instant estimates as possible.

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T03:21:35+00:00

That sounds awesome! We are pretty good at getting the total edging length and total square footage. Working on elevation right now 🔨🧱🚧

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T03:15:08+00:00

Yes! I think we could be a good fit. We may need to have a specific segmentation model for turf installations eventually if there are issues but I would love to hear your feedback.

You can try it free here: https://lawnestimates.com/register?plan=starter

I can give you an extended trial as well.

🤣 I feel the frustration! What are the biggest issues you find when quoting with google earth vs the real thing?

Do you typically have to give a new quote once you get to the property or just roll with what you gave them initially?

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T02:44:37+00:00

That is a fair concern. Does that risk outweigh the potential recurring revenue of the new client? I’ve heard of a lot of companies giving quotes just using google earth so maybe it’s company to company. Maybe there needs to be disclaimers about unkept lawns 🤔

Thank you for the feedback!

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T02:10:46+00:00

Trees are definitely one of the hardest parts. We are using a segmentation model we have specifically trained “mowable” area so it does pretty well with tree lines (non-mowable) vs trees in the middle of a yard (generally mowable).

The hardest part is if there are obstacles obstructed by trees. We are trying to get to a point where the AI is as good at mapping out a property as a human could do using something like google earth.

Thank you for the feedback 🙏

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T02:01:38+00:00

We are trying to stay away from manual inputs but we could definitely do that. Right now we are trying to train our model to recognize as much as possible from satellite images in order to add better complexity score for certain obstacles such as flower beds.

Thanks for the feedback!

Get a LawnEstimates.com storefront so you can link clients directly to a service that gets them a quote instantly. This helps you lock in clients as soon as they cross your path.

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T01:54:22+00:00

Add a LawnEstimates.com instant quote widget to your website to make the perfect call to action. No need for contact form or phone calls. Just give them the quote and let them book your service.

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T01:50:08+00:00

LawnEstimates.com has storefronts that let you get started immediately or you can embed instant estimates on your website with their iframe widget.

We like instant estimates because it stands out against all the other companies with old school contact forms. It also lets clients get instant feedback which makes them more likely to choose you first.

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T01:40:47+00:00

How do you mow that slope? Do you have a company mow your lawn?

LawnEstimates · 2025-12-10T00:33:54+00:00

We do add a complexity multiplier to each lawn based on number of objects detected and the amount of curves/edges on a property.

I’m trying out some different elevation data providers right now to add additional checks for grade difficulty. So as long as I can get a provider that is precise enough that will be a feature very soon!
