Built for landscaping

Software for landscaping contractors

Hardscape, planting, irrigation and grading — plus the maintenance rounds that pay the bills between builds. Landscaping is seasonal, recurring, and spread across several sites a day. TradesOps runs the recurring contracts, routes the crews, and switches the whole business over when the season turns.

Where landscaping jobs lose money

Not the dramatic failures — the ordinary ones that happen on a normal week.

Maintenance rounds billed from memory

Recurring contracts schedule their own visits and raise their own invoices, so a season of weekly work bills itself instead of being reconstructed each month.

Crews on four sites a day, and no record of which

Crews clock in and out at each site from their phones, so the hours land against the right property without anyone writing anything down.

The season turning and the whole business changing

Seasonal switching moves the business between summer work and winter work — the services, the price book and the schedule change together.

Landscaping questions

Does it handle recurring maintenance contracts?

Yes. Set the round, the frequency and the price, and visits schedule themselves and invoices go out on time. This is what the service model was built for.

Can crews clock in at several properties in one day?

Yes. Clock in and out per site from the app, with location if you want it, so hours land against the right job for costing and payroll.

What happens when the season changes?

Seasonal switching moves you between summer and winter operations — different services, different price book, different schedule — without setting the business up again.
