Real per-job profitability, tracked by labor hours, materials, equipment time, and overhead allocation, across mowing routes, install contracts, and everything in between.
Most landscaping business owners can tell you their total revenue. Very few can tell you which specific jobs, properties, or contract types are actually profitable versus which ones are quietly losing money once labor and equipment time are properly accounted for.
We build job costing into your books so every job, whether it's a recurring mowing route, a one-time cleanup, or a multi-week hardscape install, gets tracked against its real cost: labor at actual wage, materials used, equipment hours, and a fair share of overhead.
Bidding without real job cost data means you're pricing on gut feel. Landscaping owners who implement proper job costing routinely discover that one or two service lines or contract types are unprofitable, and can reprice or drop them immediately.
We map your direct costs, labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, against your job or contract list so every dollar has a home.
As jobs are completed, we allocate actual costs against billed revenue so you see real margin, not an estimate.
Quarterly, we review your margin data by service type so your next round of bids reflects what actually makes you money.
This service is available remotely to landscaping businesses nationwide. Here are a few states with specific considerations worth reading.
We can build job costing within QuickBooks Online, or integrate with field service platforms like Jobber or LMN if you're already tracking job-level time and materials there.
Job costing still applies, we track cost per route or per contract instead of per one-time job, which is often where landscaping businesses find their biggest margin surprises.
Most clients get a clear first read within one full billing cycle once cost tracking is set up, though a full season of data gives the clearest seasonal picture.
