The phrase “landscape edging cost per foot” is searched every day by Austin homeowners who want clean lawn lines without blowing the budget. CountBricks turns that curiosity into clear numbers. Our AI-driven platform captures voice measurements in real time, matches local material pricing, and presents a per-foot figure you can trust before a shovel hits the soil.
Residential landscape edging pricing is the sum of four factors:
• Material type (steel, concrete, brick, plastic, stone)
• Linear footage and site accessibility
• Labor hours and crew size
• Excavation depth, base prep, and disposal fees
When homeowners ask about landscape edging cost per foot, CountBricks captures every one of these variables in real time, then applies the most recent supplier data from our material database. The result: no hidden mark-ups, no math guesswork, and a bid your client will instantly understand.

• Stake the layout with string lines first; voice-capture each segment length separately for greater accuracy
• When cutting curves, speak in radii (“ten-foot radius arc”) so the AI draws true curves in the takeoff
• Record soil type during the walk-through; clay soils add labor time for trenching
• If irrigation lines cross the edging path, flag them verbally to add protective sleeves to the estimate
• Offer optional upgrades (e.g., landscape lighting conduits) per foot; CountBricks auto-creates tiered pricing in the final quote
After you approve the generated landscape edging cost per foot, CountBricks publishes:
• Client-ready PDF proposal with branded cover page
• Editable schedule of values for progress billing
• Auto-generated invoice templates synced to your accounting software
This end-to-end workflow lets residential contractors move from lead to paid invoice faster than ever.

In residential hardscaping, materials often steal the spotlight, yet labor can equal or exceed 50 % of the landscape edging cost per foot. CountBricks separates these expenses on every line item so contractors can negotiate smarter.
The crew planned 150 linear feet of brick edging at an initial estimate of $21.40 per foot. CountBricks analytics revealed that 57 % of the total was labor, driven by hand trenching around existing tree roots. By switching to a tracked mini trencher and adjusting the crew from three workers to two specialized operators, labor hours dropped by 30 %. The final delivered price: $17.90 per foot—saving the homeowner $525 and freeing the crew for the next job a full day earlier.
• Dynamic labor tables adjust wages automatically when you change crew mix or equipment selections
• Real-time “what-if” sliders let you preview per-foot impact before you commit changes to the proposal
• Alerts pop up when supplier promos could lower material cost thresholds for volume orders
Landscape edging rarely stands alone. Driveway pours, patio installs, and irrigation upgrades often overlap trench zones. CountBricks sequencing tools place edging tasks just after rough grading and before softscape placement, avoiding re-work that can inflate total build costs by up to 12 %.
