For UK landscapers, gardeners & grounds teams
Price by the square metre, plan around the weather, get paid on time
Landscaping mixes one-off design-and-build projects with recurring maintenance rounds, and the two need very different admin. Tradie Business Base lets you cost patios, decking and turfing by area and materials, quote a whole project in one document, and keep a repeating maintenance schedule that survives a rained-off week.
Price by the day, invoice the job the week it finishes.
All 10 tools · Nothing to pay for 7 days · from £9 a month after · Cancel any time
The admin problems landscapers tell us about
Materials volume is hard to price
Cost aggregate, topsoil, slabs and turf against labour days so a large hard-landscaping job is priced on numbers, not instinct.
Maintenance rounds and one-off builds in the same diary
Keep recurring grass cuts and multi-week builds side by side so you can see real capacity before you promise a start date.
Weather wipes out the plan
Move a job in the schedule and the rest of the week reshuffles with it, instead of living in a notebook on the dashboard.

Landscapers — common questions
- Does it handle recurring maintenance customers?
- Yes — customers can carry repeat visits and a full job history, so a fortnightly round is as easy to manage as a one-off build.
- Can I quote by square metre?
- Yes — enter area-based material quantities and rates and the calculator works the total, markup and margin for you.
