SideWRK is a cheap invoicing app for landscapers who work on the side.
It keeps every customer and property on file, sends the estimate and the invoice, and shows what you actually made on the visit.
SideWRK starts every landscaper at these prices and does this math on every job you write up. Change any number.
What a Landscaping job looks like in SideWRK.
The landscaping job as the app lays it out — your own cost sitting on it, and the estimate your customer approves from their phone.
Built for lawn & landscape work — in one app
Properties & service plans
Log each property with its plan — one-time, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or seasonal — plus the gate code, the dogs, and what to maintain. Your whole route, organized in your pocket.
Estimates → invoices → paid
Write up the work in one sweep — labor, materials (with your private cost), a note, and a photo. Text or email a clean estimate. When the customer approves, it becomes a numbered invoice. Record cash, card, or a payment they sent you.
Customers approve from their phone
Send a branded approval link. Your customer reviews the estimate, sees the photos, and taps Approve — logged with their name, the time, and the amount. Add work later and they're asked to authorize the new total.
Before & after photos that sell
Snap the overgrown mess and the finished yard and text it to the customer — before/after sells the next cleanup and documents the work you did.
Real profit, not just revenue
Every bag of mulch and material carries a private "your cost" the customer never sees — so the Money tab shows what you actually made on each yard, not just what you charged.
Schedule & follow-ups
See what's overdue, upcoming, and unscheduled at a glance, and log the extra work a customer passed on so it resurfaces next visit.

What should a landscaper charge?
Landscaping splits into recurring maintenance and one-off installs, priced very differently. A mow and edge defaults to $55 a visit in SideWRK; a sod or seeding install defaults to $900. Here's how it's priced, plus a free lawn care calculator to price the visit.
Maintenance per visit
Mowing and cleanups are usually a flat price per visit based on lot size and scope — many crews target a per-hour-on-site figure underneath. SideWRK defaults a mow and edge to $55 a visit and a hedge and shrub trim to $180.
Installs by area or project
Sod, beds, and hardscape are priced by the square foot or as a project bid, with the design and materials driving the number. Sod or seeding defaults to $900 and a mulch install to $480.
Materials and haul-off
Mulch, plants, sod, and stone are billed with a markup, plus disposal for green waste. Lot access and terrain move the number. A spring or fall cleanup defaults to $350.
Lawn care cost calculator
Lawn size and your visit menu — a per-cut price that actually covers the route.
The landscaping rate behind SideWRK's estimating defaults is $55/hr, with 70% of a typical ticket paying for time rather than materials. Both numbers come from our 2026 Side-Work Rate Report, which publishes the same figures for all 42 trades.

Add snow removal in the winter — same customers, same truck.
The classic combo: mow all summer, plow all winter. Your lawn route already knows you, trusts you, and owns a driveway that fills with snow — a plow blade or a snowblower turns the slow season into a second season. Both trades are already in your plan — one login, one client list, nothing more to pay. Plans are month-to-month — add it for the season and drop back after, right from Billing.
SideWRK for Snow Removal →Add irrigation — keep the lawn you mow green.
You already mow the lawn every week, so you're the natural one to keep the sprinklers running it. Add a spring startup and a fall blowout to the same route and each customer becomes two guaranteed visits a year on top of the mowing — plus the cracked heads and stuck valves you find while you're there. It runs the opposite peaks from snow removal, so the calendar stays full. Both trades are already in your plan — one login, one client list, nothing more to pay. Plans are month-to-month — add a trade for the season and drop back after, right from Billing.
SideWRK for Irrigation →Landscaping FAQ
Is SideWRK good for lawn care and landscaping?
Yes. Log each property with its service plan (one-time, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or seasonal), write a quick estimate, get the customer's approval with photos, and send a clean invoice. Built for the route and the one-off cleanup alike.
Can customers approve estimates from their phone?

I mow in summer AND plow or wrench in winter — can I do both?
Yes. Every trade is unlocked and you switch between landscaping, small engine, handyman and more in a tap, sharing one customer list.
What should a landscaper charge?
Landscaping is priced two ways: recurring maintenance as a flat price per visit by lot size, and installs by the square foot or as a project bid. Materials carry a markup, plus haul-off, and access and terrain move the number. SideWRK defaults a mow and edge to $55 a visit, a hedge and shrub trim to $180, a cleanup to $350, and sod or seeding to $900. Use the free lawn care calculator to price a mowing visit, and the hourly rate calculator to find your base rate.
How much does it cost?
SideWRK is $19/month. Every trade is included. You start on the free plan: five jobs a rolling year, no card, and no expiry. Paying lifts every limit — $19 a month, or $190 a year.
