Landscapers
Recurring maintenance routes and one-off installs for landscaping and lawn-care businesses — schedule the season, quote the install, and bill on a schedule that matches how the work actually happens.
A Day in the Life of a Landscaping Business
From the weekly mowing route to a one-off patio install — every step in the apps that ship today.
Monday, 6:00 AM
Route Assignment
Your dispatcher assigns the week's recurring mowing and maintenance route on the CrewGrid board; each stop carries the address and any special instructions from the client record — a gate code, a dog in the yard, where to leave the invoice.
8:30 AM
New Install Estimate
A homeowner asks about a paver patio. You build a BidForge estimate with photos of the site and line items for materials and labor, sent directly from their ClientForge record.
11:00 AM
Recurring Stop Check-In
The crew checks in at each recurring stop — CrewGrid verifies the arrival by GPS within 500 m — and logs any add-on work, like edging or mulch, directly against that visit.
Week 3
Install Job Kicks Off
The accepted patio estimate converts to a ProjectPath job with a materials budget and a start date; the crew is scheduled around the existing recurring routes on the same calendar.
End of month
Recurring Billing Run
PayGate recurring billing charges every route customer's card automatically on the 1st, retrying any failed card, while the one-time patio job gets a standard TitanLedger invoice on completion.
The apps in this day
Recurring billing and dispatch ship together on Pro ($99/mo, 5 users); routes and the shared calendar start on Team.
What this replaces
A landscaping business running a field-service scheduling tool for routes still needs a separate way to bill recurring customers automatically:
- Jobber Core (1 user, annual)$39/mo
- A separate recurring-billing workaroundmanual invoicing time, or a payment-only tool
Other tools: $39/mo plus manual billing work every month, before adding a second user. EternalEngine: $49/mo (Team, 3 users) — routes, estimates and PayGate recurring billing built in.
Team at $49/mo covers a 3-person crew with recurring billing already wired in, instead of routing work through a scheduling tool plus a separate manual invoicing process.
Why Landscaping Businesses Choose EternalEngine
Recurring Billing Removes the Monthly Chore
PayGate recurring billing charges every route customer automatically and retries a failed card — no manual invoicing run at the end of every month.
Seasonal Budget Tracking on Install Jobs
A one-off install converts from an estimate to a ProjectPath job with its own materials budget, tracked separately from the recurring maintenance revenue.
GPS-Verified Stops Prove the Crew Was There
Every recurring-route check-in is verified against the site address, within 500 m — useful the day a customer asks whether their yard was actually serviced that week.

Landscapers questions
How does recurring billing actually work?
A client record is set to a PayGate recurring plan with an amount and a billing date. PayGate charges the saved card automatically on that date and retries once automatically if the charge fails, rather than you sending a manual invoice every cycle.
Can I reuse an estimate for similar install jobs?
You can duplicate a past BidForge estimate and adjust the line items and site photos for the new address — faster than building a paver-patio or sod-install estimate from scratch each time.
Does the crew need photos for every stop?
Photos are optional per visit today — most crews use them for install jobs and one-off work rather than every recurring mow, but nothing stops you from adding a photo at any check-in.
What size crew is this built for?
Team ($49/mo, 3 users) fits a small crew running routes and occasional installs; Pro ($99/mo, 5 users) adds inventory tracking for equipment and materials and e-signatures for larger install contracts.
