Itemised garden bed installation example

Each amount is its quantity multiplied by its AUD unit rate, rounded to cents. These 8 entries match the fixture used to make the PDF. Metric surface and length units describe the priced work, not a conversion rule for another property.

Garden bed installation example — AUD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Layout and site protection | 1 job | A$231.00 | A$231.00 |

Turf removal and bed preparation | 22.3 m² | A$36.20 | A$807.26 |

Soil amendment allowance | 1 job | A$364.00 | A$364.00 |

Shrub material allowance | 12 each | A$95.20 | A$1,142.40 |

Shrub planting labour | 12 each | A$63.00 | A$756.00 |

Bed edging | 25.91 m | A$32.00 | A$829.12 |

Mulch allowance and placement | 1 job | A$546.00 | A$546.00 |

Cleanup | 1 job | A$154.00 | A$154.00 |

Subtotal / example total | A$4,829.78 |

Calculation check: 22.3 m² × A$36.20 = A$807.26; 12 each × A$95.20 = A$1,142.40. The demonstration tax field is 0%, so the displayed total stays A$4,829.78. Determine tax and markup for your own work instead of using this input as guidance.

Assumptions and scope boundaries

List species, sizes, quantities and supplier status for the actual site. The 12-shrub allowance is fictional and should be replaced after selection and availability checks.

Outside this example: No irrigation system, drainage correction, tree removal, long-term maintenance or mature-plant guarantee.

Selections, access or concealed conditions that differ from this scope require a revised quantity, allowance or separate line. The example deliberately separates them so the client can see what has and has not been priced.
