Built for Landscaping Contractors

"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."

Mike Rodriguez

Rodriguez Landscaping, TX

"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."

Carlos Martinez

Martinez Lawn Care, FL

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

Sarah Jensen

Evergreen Property Care, OR

I built GreenMargins because I was tired of guessing margins on my own jobs. Every formula in this calculator comes from real landscaping math — not a textbook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything landscapers ask before getting started.

Getting Started

What is GreenMargins?

Job costing and quoting software built specifically for landscaping contractors. It calculates your true costs — labor burden, drive time, overhead, materials, and disposal — so you see your real profit before you send every quote.

How long does setup take?

15–20 minutes with the guided onboarding wizard. Enter your labor rates, vehicles, and overhead costs once — then each quote takes about 3 minutes.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14-day free trial with full access to all features. No credit card required.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. GreenMargins is a responsive web app that works on any phone, tablet, or computer. Build quotes from the field or the office.

Pricing & Plans

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $59/month (Starter, 1 user). Team is $99/month for up to 5 users. Pro is $199/month with unlimited users and closed-loop profitability tracking. All plans include a 14-day free trial. Save 20% with annual billing.

What happens after the trial?

Choose a plan or your account pauses — no surprise charges. You can also hibernate your account for $15/month during the off-season to keep your data intact.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, cancel anytime. You get 30 days to export your data (customers, quotes, and settings via CSV). Or hibernate at $15/month to preserve everything.

Features & Capabilities

What types of landscaping services does it support?

30+ prebuilt service templates including mowing, mulching, cleanups, hardscaping, irrigation, lighting, tree care, seasonal work, and more. Plus unlimited custom services with a visual form builder.

How does it calculate labor burden?

It automatically adds payroll taxes (Social Security & Medicare at 7.65%), workers' comp (5–15%), health insurance, PTO, and benefits on top of each employee's hourly wage. A $25/hr employee actually costs $35–40/hr — GreenMargins calculates this for every quote.

How does travel time costing work?

Enter your shop address and the job site — Google Maps calculates drive distance and time automatically. GreenMargins then costs your crew's labor for drive time, plus fuel and vehicle wear per mile.

How does overhead get calculated?

Enter your monthly fixed costs (insurance, truck payments, storage, software, etc.) and your billable hours. GreenMargins divides to get an hourly overhead rate and applies it to every job automatically.

Can I create professional quotes and proposals?

Yes — export branded PDF quotes with your logo, itemized pricing, terms and conditions, payment schedules, and warranty information. Send directly to customers.

Does it work for my type of landscaping?

If you quote jobs that involve labor, materials, travel, or equipment — yes. Used by lawn care, hardscape, irrigation, design-build, tree service, maintenance, and seasonal crews. Works for both residential and commercial.

Comparisons

How is this different from a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets require manual formulas that break silently, can't auto-calculate labor burden or travel costs, and take 30–45 minutes per quote. GreenMargins automates all cost calculations, takes 3–5 minutes per quote, and works from your phone. Most users save 50+ hours per year on quoting alone.

How is this different from Jobber or LMN?

Jobber is scheduling and CRM software with basic quoting — it doesn't calculate labor burden, travel costs, or overhead allocation. LMN starts at $297+/month and requires extensive setup. GreenMargins is purpose-built for job costing and quoting at $59–199/month with 15-minute setup. Many contractors use GreenMargins alongside their scheduling tools.

Do you have an API?

Yes — the Pro plan includes full REST API access for integrating with your CRM, accounting software, or custom workflows.

No credit card required

Stop guessing.
Start knowing.

Every quote you send without real cost data is a gamble. GreenMargins shows you the truth in seconds.

The season is starting — get set up now before your first quotes go out wrong.
