Start and run a landscaping business
Weekly mowing pays the bills; design jobs grow the business. Service Boss keeps both on the books.
What slows landscapers down
- Weekly customers who need to be billed every month
- Design and install jobs quoted differently from maintenance
- Trailer and truck on a personal policy
- Spring sign-ups that all arrive the same week
What Service Boss handles
Recurring customers, billed
Weekly and bi-weekly customers in the CRM with their address and visit schedule, invoiced every month without retyping.
Install quotes by the yard
Mulch by the yard, plants by the piece, labour by the hour - quoted, accepted and invoiced from the same lines.
Check what your state asks
Pick landscaping and your state to see what applies, sourced to who issues it - including whether weed and pest treatments need their own licence.
Shirts the neighbours recognise
Your logo on shirts, hats and hoodies for the crew - the best yard sign is a crew that looks like a company.
Jobs you can quote and invoice
- Weekly maintenance
- Landscape design
- Mulch and beds
- Commercial grounds
How it goes
A college student with a mower and 12 lawns: LLC filed, 12 recurring customers billed monthly, a logo on the crew shirts, and 40 lawns by August.
Requirements research, not legal advice. Rules can differ by city and county; every item we give you names the authority that issues it.
