What this example covers

Install a specified root barrier along a garden path edge after confirming the tree and excavation constraints, then reinstate the disturbed surface.

Use this example to see a complete document for one garden path edge . The brief is tied to Salt Lake City, Utah for a plausible project setting; the amounts are fictional input values and do not represent local market prices. The estimating guide (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-us/guides/how-to-estimate-tree-root-barrier-installation/) explains the decisions behind these lines.

Itemized tree root barrier installation example

These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.

Tree root barrier installation example — USD Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |

Site and tree review allowance | 1 job | $220.00 | $220.00 |

Surface protection and lift | 1 job | $180.00 | $180.00 |

Careful trench excavation | 55 linear ft. | $28.00 | $1,540.00 |

Barrier material allowance | 60 linear ft. | $22.00 | $1,320.00 |

Joints and anchors | 1 job | $210.00 | $210.00 |

Barrier placement labor | 55 linear ft. | $12.00 | $660.00 |

Backfill and surface reinstatement | 1 job | $450.00 | $450.00 |

Subtotal / example total | $4,580.00 |

How the subtotal is calculated

The example line for careful trench excavation is 55 linear ft. × $28.00 = $1,540.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.

The document sums the rounded line amounts to $4,580.00 . Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.

Measurement to verify: Measure barrier run, required depth and distance from the trunk; confirm tree protection constraints locally. Selection to verify: Identify barrier product, joining strips and reinstatement material separately.

Assumptions and exclusions

Agree a safe excavation method near roots before digging.

Outside the stated scope: No tree removal, arborist design or guaranteed control of all future roots.

Major roots or utilities in the trench may require a different route and professional review. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
