A six-step fertilization program, a mowing route that has to make sense on a map, and an application record the state can ask for. TradesBackbone runs lawn care as programs and routes rather than one-off jobs — the lawn pack relabels the app to match, and the crew's phone shows the day in driving order.
The Lawn Care pack is pre-selected when you start from this page.
5 workflows your crews and your office share on one record. Everything below exists today.
Set a customer on a Seasonal Program or Per Application cadence and the next visit is generated when it is due. The Program Progress Report shows who is on step three of six and who has not been touched since April.
Assign a crew to Tuesday, then let route order propose the sequence with drive time per leg. Apply it when it looks right and the crew's phone sorts by that order. The promised window never moves on its own.
The lawn pack adds an Application Record field (product, rate, target) to each job and puts your State Pesticide/Fertilizer License # on the compliance screen. The Application Summary Report pulls it all together when the inspector asks.
Fertilization, Weed Control, Aeration, Mowing, Pest & Disease and Seeding categories come seeded. Text the aeration estimate after the visit, the customer taps Approve, and it is on the schedule.
Invoice each application as it is done, or run batch invoicing at month end to invoice every completed, uninvoiced visit in one pass. Card and ACH links on every invoice, cards on file for program customers, and automatic reminders when one goes overdue.
Choosing Lawn Care at signup configures the app for lawn care. It is configuration, not a separate product — you can change it in Settings.

3, 10 or 25 users included with the plan, then $40/mo per extra user. No annual contracts, no implementation fees. Every plan starts with a free trial.
Straight answers about how TradesBackbone runs a lawn care business.
Yes, on Pro and Elite. A recurring program on the customer carries the cadence (the lawn pack offers Per Application and Seasonal Program), price and route day, and the next visit is generated when it is due. The Program Progress Report shows where each customer is in the program.
The lawn pack adds an Application Record field (product, rate, target) to every job. Your State Pesticide/Fertilizer License # sits on the Licensing & compliance screen, and the Application Summary Report reads from the job records.
Route order (Pro) proposes the driving sequence for a crew's day with drive time per leg. The dispatcher applies it deliberately, and the crew's phone sorts by that order. It never changes a customer's promised window by itself.
You can invoice as you go, or run batch invoicing at month end: it lists every completed, uninvoiced visit (filter by customer or program), creates the invoices in one pass and sends them by text or email together. Each invoice carries a card or ACH payment link.
The recurring feature is labelled Programs, the price book is seeded with Fertilization, Weed Control, Aeration, Mowing, Pest & Disease and Seeding categories, the Application Record and pesticide license fields are added, a Landscaping visit checklist is included, and Program Progress and Application Summary reports are available.
