Landscaping companies need software that can handle repeat service and one-off project work without making the office rebuild the same schedule every week. Mowing routes, maintenance contracts, seasonal cleanups, irrigation repairs, enhancement bids, crew notes, invoices, and payments all need to stay connected.
The best landscaping software should make recurring work predictable, help crews see what is scheduled, and give the office a clean way to invoice and collect. Conduit is built for that contractor workflow: customers, recurring schedules, jobs, bids, invoices, team time, and payment links in one place.
For comparisons, review /vs/jobber, /vs/housecall-pro, and /vs/field-pulse. If recurring work is the priority, start with recurring service scheduling for trades. For payment collection, see /payments.
Landscaping Workflows That Need Recurring Structure
Landscaping is often a mix of routes and projects. Software should support both:
- Recurring maintenance: create repeat visits for weekly mowing, monthly service, seasonal checks, or contracted maintenance.
- Route scheduling: keep crew assignments and service windows visible so the day does not depend on memory or text threads.
- Enhancement bids: quote mulch, planting, irrigation repairs, drainage, lighting, or hardscape-adjacent work separately from routine maintenance.
- Customer history: keep prior visits, notes, invoices, and open balances connected to the property.
- Fast invoicing: send a payment link after a service visit or batch recurring invoices on a predictable schedule.
Conduit works best for landscaping teams that want recurring schedules and project work in the same operating system instead of separate calendars, route sheets, and invoice tools.
Pricing for Seasonal Crews
Landscaping teams can change shape by season. Owners, office staff, crew leads, and field users may all need access, even if not every person uses the system the same way every day.
The approved comparison data shows ServiceTitan at $1,225-2,500+/mo for a 5-person team. Conduit is listed at $65/mo for a 5-person team. Jobber is listed at $155-315/mo, Housecall Pro at $199-469+/mo, and FieldPulse at $259-359/mo for a 5-person team.
Flat per-company pricing helps landscaping companies avoid treating every seasonal login as a pricing event. The goal is to let the team see the work without adding unnecessary software overhead.
Fee Savings on Larger Landscaping Jobs
Routine maintenance invoices may be small, but landscaping projects can get large quickly. Seasonal cleanups, planting installs, irrigation repairs, drainage work, lighting, and commercial maintenance invoices can make card fees visible.
Using the fixed payment math, a $10,000 card payment at 2.9% plus 30 cents is about $290 before Conduit’s 1% platform fee comparison. Conduit ACH costs $6 on that same invoice: a $1 Conduit fee plus Stripe ACH at 0.8% capped at $5.
For recurring invoices, convenience matters. For larger project balances, ACH can help keep more of the payment in the job. See ACH vs card processing for contractors for more detail.
Best Fit
Conduit is a strong fit for landscaping companies that want customers, recurring service, jobs, bids, invoices, team time, and payments connected. It is especially useful when the company has both maintenance routes and project work.
If your company needs deep route optimization, GPS fleet management, or landscaping-only chemical compliance features, compare those needs carefully. Conduit is focused on contractor operations and payment workflow rather than every route-management niche.
FAQ
Can Conduit handle recurring landscaping service?
Yes. Conduit includes recurring schedules, which can help landscaping teams manage maintenance routes and repeat service visits.
Can landscaping crews use Conduit for one-off projects?
Yes. One-off landscaping projects can use customers, bids, jobs, invoices, scheduling, and payment links in the same workflow as recurring work.
Why does flat pricing matter for landscaping?
Seasonal teams may need several users in the system at different times. Conduit is listed at $65/mo for a 5-person team, while the approved comparison data lists higher 5-person costs for ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, and FieldPulse.
How do ACH payments help landscaping companies?
ACH is most useful on larger project invoices. On the approved $10,000 example, card processing is about $290 while Conduit ACH totals $6 before the separate Conduit card platform fee comparison.
