The landscaper's quote, season after season

Your trade is not invoiced per job but per year: eight cuts, two hedge trims, and a winter when nothing comes in.

The maintenance that comes back every month

A maintenance contract is not a one-off quote: it is the same amount, eight or ten times a year. It is set up once, invoiced at every visit, and you stop rewriting the same document every spring.

The season that cuts up the year

Pruning in spring, mowing until October, clearing in autumn: the work does not spread evenly across twelve months. The dashboard shows where you stand when cash gets tight in January.

Green waste, which really does cost

Tip charges keep rising, volumes get underestimated, and this line ends up inside the lump sum. Priced separately it gets passed on instead of absorbed.

The quote decided on the spot

They ask you for a price while you are walking through the garden. You describe the areas out loud, the quote goes out before you are back in the van, and it is signed that evening.

Can I invoice the same amount every month?

Yes. The contract is set up once and every invoice picks up its items, with its own payment reference so reconciliation happens on its own.

How do I handle owners' associations and property managers?

Like any client, with their language and their structured address. They often want a referenced document: gap-free numbering is there for that.

And unplanned work, after a storm for instance?

It is added on a time-and-materials basis to the job concerned, hours and disposal included, without touching the maintenance contract.

Yours is not the only trade
