Managing a successful landscaping business involves overcoming industry challenges such as labor shortages and supply chain delays and identifying ways to improve operations and increase profit.
Landscape contractors rely on software to help run their businesses, using single solutions for scheduling, estimating, invoicing, communicating with customers—the list goes on.
Alternating between different landscape business platforms becomes time-consuming and hinders access to timely and reliable information, making it difficult for contractors to pinpoint where to improve their businesses.

Improve performance with streamlined operations
A single business management software platform like Aspire centralizes your company’s data and keeps your team productive and proactive all day.
All-in-one software featuring a work-ticket system allows lawn care companies to streamline jobs from proposal creation to job completion.
Improve accuracy and consistency in estimates
Estimating features help estimators quickly create and deliver landscape project estimates at the right profit margin for:
- On-the-spot enhancements
- Construction projects
- Ongoing maintenance contracts
Customizable bidding templates and kits simplify the process and ensure accurate and consistent bids every time.
Reduce labor costs and manage responsively with scheduling
Landscape scheduling software makes it easy to schedule and track jobs. Once a customer signs a contract, your team simply drags and drops the ticket to a schedule board.
The estimate details automatically carry over, saving your team time and eliminating potential manual error.
Streamline purchasing and leverage your buying power to reduce costs
Landscaping business software streamlines your purchase orders, so you can easily order the materials you need for one, or multiple, scheduled projects.
Connect your office and field with a landscaping mobile app, so crews can view:
- Location maps
- Site plans
- Materials and equipment needed for scheduled jobs.
- Track expended materials
With the ability to log notes in the field, they can address issues on the spot.
Improve cash flow by sending timely invoices and bills
Once your team completes a job or phase, integrated management software allows you to easily generate and electronically send multiple invoices at a time from within the system (no more printing and mailing or switching between email providers to send each one separately). You can even invoice by specific work ticket or service type within a job to improve cash flow, and the software completely eliminates the need to manually decipher a box full of receipts as you frantically close out jobs each month.
Maximize revenue with in-depth job management
The robust capabilities of landscaping project management software give project managers increased visibility into jobs from start to finish.
Accurate, real-time data protects profits
Job costing features break down labor and materials for each job by:
- Division
- Service type
- Property
- Manager
- Crew leader
Operations gain real-time visibility into actual job costs. Project managers can keep tabs on progress (and budget) from anywhere, which means your team can make prompt adjustments to stay on track.
Mobile reporting ensures accurate labor cost tracking. With a mobile app, crew leaders can easily check in and out of work tickets from the field, ensuring accurate tracking and reporting of labor hours and inventoried materials used on a job. With accurate data right at your fingertips, you can invoice clients quickly and easily, which in turn helps to improve cash flow.
Comprehensive software for unparalleled operational control
Landscaping professionals who previously used single-solution software, like Excel, to keep track of their projects say all-in-one landscaping software gives them a competitive advantage.
“Operations was just running amok,” says Nial Magoffin, operations manager of TruCo Services, a Utah-based landscaping and snow removal company. “This was the turning point for me, when I learned what Aspire could do from an organizational standpoint to keep someone organized in an industry that is so chaotic.”

Real-time visibility yields more profitable results

A clear view into the performance of all contracts gives landscape contractors insight into which jobs generate the most profit and shows how future proposals or contracts should be adjusted for profitability.
Real-time data improves budgeting and planning, because decisions can be made on precise data instead of assumptions or outdated numbers.
Aspire’s plans for landscaping businesses of any size give contractors the knowledge and confidence to grow their business with success.
