Know your true costs.
Most lawn care companies guess at pricing. Job costing shows you exactly what each service costs to deliver — labor, materials, drive time — so you can price for profit, not hope. View our pricing plans to get started.
Job Costing Capabilities
GreenSpace provides the metrics lawn care companies need to understand profitability — crew time tracking, route efficiency, revenue per service, and cost analysis. Use this data to find unprofitable routes, identify underpriced services, and make every dollar count. Job costing insights also help you plan off-season revenue strategies to keep cash flowing year-round.
Time Per Stop Tracking
GreenSpace automatically tracks how long crews spend at each property — from arrival to departure. Compare actual service time against estimated time to identify properties that take longer than they should. Adjust pricing or service approach for time-consuming stops.
Route Profitability Analysis
See revenue vs estimated cost for every route day. Factor in crew wages, drive time, fuel costs, and number of stops. Identify your highest-margin routes and the routes that need rebalancing or price increases.
Revenue Per Service Type
Break down revenue by service type — mowing, fertilization, aeration, tree work, snow removal. Know which services generate the most revenue and which have the best margins. Double down on your most profitable offerings.
Crew Productivity Metrics
Track stops per day, average time per stop, and revenue generated per crew member. Identify which technicians are most efficient and which may need additional training, better equipment, or route adjustments.
Drive Time Analysis
Measure windshield time vs service time per route. High drive-time ratios indicate routes that need rebalancing — too spread out geographically, or stops in the wrong order. Route optimization minimizes this automatically.
Customer Lifetime Value
Track total revenue per customer over their entire relationship. Factor in service frequency, average ticket, prepay behavior, and referral activity. Focus retention efforts on your highest-value customers.
Pricing Recommendations
Use actual cost data to ensure every service you sell meets your target margin. If a property costs $28 to service and you charge $30, you know the margin is too thin. GreenSpace reporting surfaces these insights.
Export for Analysis
Export all costing data to CSV for deeper analysis in Excel or Google Sheets. Feed data into QuickBooks for job-level P&L reporting. Your data is always accessible and exportable.
