Compare the top landscaping software

For most landscape companies, the choice comes down to 3 tools: Jobber for small and growing crews, LMN for budget-based estimating and job costing, and Aspire for large, multi-crew operations.

Prices come from each vendor's pricing page on Nov 8, 2026. Check before you buy.

How to choose

Answer 3 questions before you book a demo:

1. How many crews do you run? One or two crews can start on Jobber. Ten or more crews, or several branches, point to LMN or Aspire.
2. How do you price work? If you build bids from labor hours, overhead, and a profit target, LMN and Aspire are built for that. If you quote by the visit, Jobber or Service Autopilot is simpler.
3. What is your work mix? Recurring maintenance needs fast routing and repeat billing. Design-build and commercial work needs estimating, job costing, and phases.

Jobber: best for small and growing crews

Jobber serves 50+ service industries, landscaping among them, and says 100,000+ businesses use it (Jobber).

• What it does: quoting, scheduling and routing, invoicing and payments, a CRM with a client hub, and automatic follow-ups.
• Price: from $29/month billed annually. The Core plan is $49/month with no commitment. Extra users cost $29/month each. 14-day free trial, no card (Jobber pricing).
• Watch for: Jobber is built for many trades. Deep job costing and budget-based estimating are lighter than in LMN or Aspire.

LMN: best for estimating and job costing

LMN, now part of Granum, is built for landscaping companies and says 3,000+ North American companies use it (LMN).

• What it does: budget-based estimating, automated scheduling, crew time tracking (LMN Crew), invoicing and payments (LMN Pay), job costing reports, and a CRM.
• Price: Starter $297/month (1 office or crew lead license plus 5 crew licenses). Professional $648/month. Both add a one-time onboarding fee. Enterprise by quote (LMN pricing).
• Watch for: the onboarding fee, and time to set up your budget before estimates pay off.

Aspire: best for large, multi-crew operations

Aspire, part of the ServiceTitan family, is designed for "enterprise-level landscape businesses" and also serves commercial cleaning (Aspire).

• What it does: estimating, scheduling, job costing, CRM, invoicing, reporting, a mobile crew app, and labor management.
• Price: by quote, based on company size. One license fee billed monthly, with no limit on users. Payments, payroll, and GPS cost extra.
• Watch for: setup and price fit companies with several crews and a full office. A 2-crew company will pay for more than it uses.

Other tools worth a look

• Service Autopilot: scheduling, routing, and invoicing for recurring lawn care, cleaning, and snow (Service Autopilot).
• RealGreen (WorkWave): all-in-one software for lawn care companies, with routing and customer communication (RealGreen).
• Arborgold: CRM, estimating, job costing, and GPS time tracking for tree care, lawn care, and landscaping (Arborgold).
• SingleOps (Granum): operations software built for tree care companies (SingleOps).

What these tools leave out: hiring and crew communication

Operations software schedules the crew. It does not fill the crew. If two people no-show on Monday, the best route in the world still runs short.

Team Engine handles that part. It works next to your operations software:

• Hiring: post a job once and send it to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Craigslist, and more. New applicants get a text right away. Screening and interview scheduling run without you chasing candidates.
• Job Health score: checks every job against Indeed's best practices and tells you what to fix.
• Crew communication: text crews in the field, in their language, for weather closures, schedule changes, and reminders.

Landscapes By Terra cut job board spend by 63% and increased employee referrals by 83% with Team Engine. At Alpine Gardens, no-call no-show interviews dropped from 50% to under 5%.

Common questions

What is the best software for a landscaping business? It depends on size. Jobber fits solo operators and small crews. LMN fits companies that price from a budget and track job costs. Aspire fits large companies with many crews.

How much does landscaping software cost? From about $29/month (Jobber, billed annually) to several hundred dollars a month (LMN from $297). Aspire and RealGreen quote by company size.

What is the best lawn care business software? For recurring lawn care, look at Service Autopilot, RealGreen, and Jobber. All three focus on routing and repeat billing.

Does landscaping software help with hiring? No. Operations tools schedule and bill the work. Use a hiring tool like Team Engine to post jobs, text applicants, and schedule interviews.
