Priced the way Landscaping work is billed
A mow & edge and a hedge & shrub trim don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices Landscaping the way the work is really billed: off a per-visit service menu (e.g. mow & edge at $50), with lawns measurable per square foot. Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a Landscaping price
Two Landscaping jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- Lawn size — a per-visit mow prices off the square footage and how much you're actually cutting each time.
- One-time vs recurring — a cleanup or install is a project price; weekly service is a route price, and they're not the same math.
- Haul-off — bagging clippings and hauling debris is a real cost, not something to absorb into the mow.
What a Landscaping job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and Landscaping is no exception. SideWRK captures the service plan and how often you come and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- the service plan and how often you come
- an irrigation and backflow-test flag
- your pesticide applicator number
- a per-application pesticide log — product, EPA reg number, rate, date, target, applicator
- an auto-renew disclosure
Example note on a job: "No warranty on new sod or plantings without customer watering."
How to price a Landscaping job in SideWRK
- 1
Start the job and add your work
Open a Landscaping job and tap a suggestion like "Mow & edge" or "Spring / fall cleanup" — the common work is already loaded, so you tap instead of type.
- 2
Price it off a per-visit service menu
Enter the numbers and the line prices itself, off a per-visit service menu (e.g. mow & edge at $50), with lawns measurable per square foot. Put parts on at your cost so what you clear is real profit, not just the Landscaping ticket total.
- 3
Note the details
Add a plain-English note — for example, "No warranty on new sod or plantings without customer watering." — and a photo of the work.
- 4
Log what the job needs
Capture the Landscaping-specific records: the service plan and how often you come, and an irrigation and backflow-test flag.
- 5
Send it and get paid
Send the Landscaping estimate for approval. Your customer approves from their phone, the invoice goes out, and you get paid — card, Apple Pay, or straight to Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App.
Staying on the right side of the rules
SideWRK documents your Landscaping work — it doesn't make you licensed, and it says so plainly. What to know: maintenance is usually exempt, but irrigation, hardscape, and lighting installs need a license over the minor-work limit — and any pesticide use needs an applicator license and per-application records. The app flags the permit and license triggers so they never surprise you mid-job.
Landscaping pricing — common questions
How do I price a Landscaping job in SideWRK?
You bill off a per-visit service menu (e.g. mow & edge at $50), with lawns measurable per square foot. Add the work — Mow & edge, Spring / fall cleanup, Mulch install — enter the numbers, and each line prices itself. Parts go on at your cost, so you see real profit and not just the total.
What does SideWRK document on a Landscaping job?
The records Landscaping work actually needs: the service plan and how often you come; an irrigation and backflow-test flag; your pesticide applicator number. It rides on the estimate and invoice, so your paper trail is built as you work instead of reconstructed later.
Do I need a license to do Landscaping work?
That depends on your state and the job, but here's the shape of it: maintenance is usually exempt, but irrigation, hardscape, and lighting installs need a license over the minor-work limit — and any pesticide use needs an applicator license and per-application records. SideWRK documents the work; it doesn't certify you, and it flags the permit and license triggers so nothing sneaks up on you.
Does SideWRK work for trades other than Landscaping?
Yes — it runs all 42 trades, each priced and documented its own way. If you run more than one, the Multi-Trade plan unlocks them all and switches between them in a tap.
