About GreenMargins

Job Costing Software for Landscaping Contractors

GreenMargins helps landscaping contractors see their real profit on every job before the quote goes out. We built the calculator that handles the math most landscapers skip — labor burden, travel time, materials markup, and overhead allocation — so you stop guessing and start knowing.

Why We Built GreenMargins

After working with dozens of landscaping businesses — from solo operators running a truck and trailer to multi-crew companies doing $2M+ annually — we kept seeing the same problem: owners had no idea what their jobs actually cost. They were quoting based on gut feel, copying competitors' prices, or using spreadsheets that missed 30-50% of their true costs.

Labor burden, travel time, equipment depreciation, overhead allocation — these are real costs that eat into margins on every single job. Most landscapers we talked to were shocked when we calculated their actual burdened labor rate versus what they were charging. Many were losing money on jobs they thought were profitable.

We built GreenMargins to solve that problem. It automatically calculates the full cost of every job — including all the hidden expenses — and shows your profit margin before you send the quote. No more guessing.
