K&D Landscaping Increased Estimating Efficiency by 50% and Revenue by 15%

At K&D Landscaping, technology isn’t an afterthought, it’s a pillar of how they compete and grow. That mindset led CEO Justin White and his team to Bobyard, and the results have been transformative. In a recent conversation, Justin and his estimator Rudy Prado shared how Bobyard’s AI-powered takeoff tools helped them not only speed up their estimating process but also improve their client interactions.

• 65% reduction in time to place bids

• 27% increase in revenue profit

• $1.1m increase in revenue per employee

Improving efficiency with AI-powered takeoffs

“I would say the AI capabilities that Bobyard brings to the table is definitely a gamechanger,” Rudy said. “Before Bobyard, it was all manual. Oftentimes, I was double-checking my work, triple-checking it as well. And now that we have Bobyard, it’s a lot easier for me to use the AI tools. I’ve seen quite a jump in my efficiency, by at least 50% if not more.”

For K&D, that efficiency means more than just faster estimates—it’s the ability to bid on more jobs, pursue more opportunities, and win more work. What used to take them a few days now takes just a few hours.

More time with clients, less time behind a screen

“Instead of our estimators being stuck behind a screen for 8 hours a day, they’re spending two or three hours behind the screen and the other four or five connecting on a human level with our potential clients,” Justin shared.

That’s an unexpected benefit of AI: more human connection. With less time spent counting plants on a screen, K&D’s team is spending more time building relationships, closing deals, and driving growth.

Rudy explained, “It almost feels like K&D and Bobyard are in it together, and I like that feeling.”

10–20% revenue growth and counting

“I really, really like what Bobyard’s doing, not just in what they’ve built, but what I know they’re going to build,” said Justin.

In fact, Justin shared that K&D’s revenue has climbed by 10–20% thanks in part to Bobyard’s impact.
