Landscaping in Trenton, NJ has never been more exciting—or more competitive. From historic Mill Hill backyards to new builds in Hamilton Township, homeowners expect picture-perfect outdoor spaces delivered on time and on budget. CountBricks brings that expectation to life with AI-driven estimating, real-time material pricing, and voice-activated project management designed specifically for residential construction professionals.
• Diverse soil conditions ranging from Delaware River clay to loamy fill in suburban developments
• Strict municipal guidelines on storm-water runoff and tree protection
• Seasonal swings that demand accurate scheduling around frost dates and summer heat
• Homeowners who want hardscape, softscape, irrigation, and lighting bundled into a single contract
These local factors make precision estimating essential. CountBricks provides live pricing on sod, mulch, pavers, lighting fixtures, and even rental equipment—all tailored to Trenton ZIP codes.
1. Speak your scope: Open the CountBricks mobile app and describe the backyard makeover in everyday language—“750 sq ft paver patio, cedar pergola, and two 20-ft maple removals.”
2. Auto-detect tasks: The AI engine converts your voice into a task list, complete with labor hours, crew sizes, and NJ-specific labor rates.
3. Live material pricing: CountBricks syncs with regional suppliers every hour, pulling the current cost of pavers, topsoil, lumber, and plant stock.
4. Instant cost breakdown: Within seconds you receive a line-item estimate, profit margin suggestions, and a branded PDF ready to email.
5. One-click revisions: Change square footage, swap stone colors, or adjust excavation depth and watch totals update in real time.
• Tree removal & stump grinding: Mature oaks add beauty but removal averages $600-$1,200 per tree, with permit fees in certain neighborhoods.
• Paver base prep: River-valley clay demands thicker base layers—usually 6-8 inches of compacted quarry process—to prevent heaving.
• Drainage solutions: French drains and dry wells are often required by local code, adding 8-12% to total project cost.
• Disposal fees: New Jersey’s tipping fees are among the highest in the region. Accurate debris volume calculations protect your profit.
• Manual spreadsheets: Hours of entry, prone to missed line items, difficult to update.
• CountBricks AI: Speech-to-estimate in seconds, automatic line items, and dynamic cost updates.
