Software built around the round, not the one-off job.
Lawn care runs on repetition: the same properties, the same days, every week from March to November. SodStack schedules recurring visits, keeps each property on a client record, and bills per visit or on contract — so the admin scales when the round does.

The work repeats. The paperwork should not.
Most lawn care admin is the same handful of tasks, repeated until someone drops one.
Recurring visits, set once
A weekly cut does not need re-entering every week. Set the schedule at the start of the season and it holds until you change it.
Route the day, not the month
Group properties by day and crew so the truck is not crossing town twice. Fuel and windscreen time are the costs nobody puts on the invoice.
Bill the way you sell
Per visit, monthly, or on a seasonal contract. The billing follows how you actually agreed the work, not how the software prefers it.
A season is not a straight line
Rain moves the week. Somebody quits in July. A commercial account adds three sites in a phone call. The schedule needs to bend without you rebuilding it from memory each time.
- Mid-season crew changes without rebuilding the schedule
- Skipped visits for weather, without losing the billing record
- Winter work kept on the same system as summer rounds
Off-season
Most lawn care businesses do something else from November to March — snow, cleanups, holiday lighting. Keeping that on the same system means the client history and the billing do not split into two halves of the year.
Common questions
- What do lawn care businesses use to schedule?
- Many still run a paper route sheet and a phone. That works up to about one crew. The point at which it stops working is usually the first time two crews are out and someone has to answer where they are.
- Does it handle recurring weekly customers?
- Yes. Recurring maintenance is the default shape of the work, not an add-on — a weekly cut is scheduled once and repeats.
- Can I take payment automatically?
- Invoices can be sent for online card payment through Stripe, and they sync to QuickBooks so the bookkeeping keeps up with the round.
- Is this different from your landscaping software?
- Same system, different emphasis. Lawn care leans on recurring visits and routes; design-build leans on estimates and project stages. SodStack runs both because most crews do both.
