"On spring cleanups, I was eating 45 min of drive time per job and forgetting disposal fees. GreenMargins caught $387 per cleanup I was leaving on the table. Margins went from 18% to 29%."

"My weekly maintenance contracts looked profitable until I added labor burden, WCB, benefits, PTO. I was actually losing $8/hr per crew member. Fixed that in one afternoon."

"Mulch installs were my worst offender, I never charged for the 50-min round trip to the supplier. That alone was $2,100/month in free labor. Never again."

THE UGLY TRUTH

Every Quote Without True Costs
Is a Gamble on Your Business

Most landscapers quote from gut feeling. And gut feeling doesn't account for these:

Drive Time (Both Ways)

30 min to the job + 30 min back = 1 hour unpaid. Times 3 jobs/day = 15 hours/week you're eating.

~$2,400/month lost

Payroll Burden

Taxes, WCB, insurance, PTO. That $25/hr employee actually costs you $32-35/hr.

25-40% hidden markup

Fuel + Vehicle Wear

Gas, oil changes, tires, brakes, depreciation. Your truck isn't free to operate.

$0.50-0.80/km real cost

Disposal Fees

Dump runs, landfill charges, yard waste bins. Every cleanup has a hidden disposal cost.

$50-200/job overlooked

Overhead Allocation

Rent, software, insurance, phone, marketing. Your monthly costs need to be in every quote.

$15-40/hour overhead

Material Markup

Buying mulch at $45/yard and charging $45/yard? That's charity, not business.

15-30% margin missed

Add it all up? You could be losing $500+ per job.

CASE STUDY

How Summit Landscaping Found
$47,000 in Hidden Profit

Over 1 year, correcting travel pricing + disposal fees + labor burden uncovered ~$47,000 in missed profit. Average margin: 18% ? 31%.

Mike Carter, Summit Landscaping
Summit Landscaping Owner

Summit Landscaping

3 crews · $850K annual revenue

The Problem: Owner Mike Carter knew his business was profitable, but couldn't figure out why some months were great and others barely broke even. "I was quoting the same types of jobs but getting wildly different results."

The Discovery: After 30 days with GreenMargins, Mike found three profit leaks: travel pricing (averaging 45 min unpaid per job), disposal fees (eating $80?120 on dump runs), and labor burden (missing WCB, benefits, PTO, a 28% gap).

The Result: By pricing travel, billing disposal, and using true burdened labor rates, Summit Landscaping moved from 18% to 31% average margin, without losing customers. First-year recovered profit: $47,000.

"I thought I had a pricing problem. Turns out I had a visibility problem. GreenMargins gave me the numbers I needed to run a real business."

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does setup take?
About 15-25 minutes for full setup. We have a guided onboarding wizard that walks you through entering your costs, labor rates, vehicle info, and overhead. Quick Setup takes 5-8 minutes if you want to start faster and dial in the details later.
Do I need to enter all my costs?
You enter your costs once during setup, and GreenMargins uses them for every quote. The more accurate your inputs, the more accurate your profit calculations. We provide regional defaults and suggestions to help you get started quickly.
Can I create my own service types?
Yes! We include prebuilt services (mulch, sod, cleanups, etc.), plus a Custom Service Builder with 30+ field types. Build any service you offer with pricing, scope checklists, measurements, disposal methods, and more.
How does the travel calculation work?
Enter the job address and we use Google Maps to calculate round-trip distance and time. We then apply your vehicle's fuel consumption rate, wear cost per km, and optional trailer drag factor. You can also bill for drive time at your hourly rate.
Can I pause my subscription in winter?
Yes! We offer a Hibernate Mode for $15/month during off-season. Your data, settings, and quotes are preserved. When spring comes, reactivate to your previous plan instantly.
Is my data secure?
Absolutely. We use Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security, encrypted data at rest, and secure HTTPS connections. Your business data stays private and protected.
Do I need to replace my current software?
Nope. GreenMargins focuses purely on quote profitability, the math your CRM can't do. Use it alongside whatever tools you already have for scheduling, invoicing, or customer management.
