What landscaping software has to do
Estimating & bidding
- Aerial property measurement and takeoff. Measures turf, beds, hardscape and buildings on aerial imagery (or uploaded plans) so the estimator gets square and linear footage without a site visit; SingleOps and Arborgold list job-site / land measurement on their pricing pages without describing the method. Not on Unstack yet.
- Instant quotes priced from measurements. Applies pricing matrices (flat rates per square-footage range or estimated man-hours) to the measured area to produce a priced quote that saves to the customer record. Not on Unstack yet.
- Budget-based estimating with overhead recovery. Ties every estimate to the company budget so labor burden, equipment, materials and overhead are recovered in the price and planned profit is protected. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Production-rate kits and service templates. Bundles production rates with labor and material costs into reusable kits and templates for common work such as sod, patios and maintenance, so estimators adjust quantities instead of rebuilding a bid. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Plant and material catalog with supplier pricing. Pulls live supplier prices into estimates (Aspire through LandscapeHub and SiteOne catalogs; Jobber through current Home Depot pricing and local inventory). Built for you by the AI builder.
- Optional add-ons on proposals. Lets the customer tick optional services such as weed control or seasonal cleanups and see the total update. Built for you by the AI builder.
- E-signature and automatic bid follow-up. Sends proposals by email or text for signature and chases open quotes with automatic reminders. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Landscape design tool. Drag-and-drop design from a library of structures, trees, plants and hardscapes, including on top of uploaded property photos. Not on Unstack yet.
- Enhancements and change orders. Adds tag-on or enhancement work and change orders to an existing job, linked back to the original estimate and billable on the invoice. Built for you by the AI builder.
Property & maintenance contracts
- Maintenance contract templates. Templates track the included and optional services on each maintenance contract and let the office add service tickets or extra visits inside it. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Fixed monthly / installment contract billing. Bills a maintenance customer the same amount each month (or a 10-pay schedule) regardless of visits, generating the invoice automatically on the billing date. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Prepay letters and season renewals. Sends prepay offers and renewal paperwork for next season's program and tracks each client's renewal history. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Recurring visit scheduling. Creates weekly, bi-weekly or monthly visits for maintenance customers automatically on the chosen cadence. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Tree and plant inventory mapped to the property. Records species, condition, risk and work history of trees and plants on a map of each client property. Built for you by the AI builder.
Scheduling, routing & crews
- Drag-and-drop schedule board. Won contracts become work tickets the office drags onto a week or month view, with bulk moves and filters by manager, route or labor hours. Install the Dispatch Board template.
- Route optimization. Orders each crew's stops to cut unbillable drive time, for recurring routes and one-off jobs. Not on Unstack yet.
- Constraint-based route building. Builds routes in batches under business rules such as truck capacity and technician licensing. Not on Unstack yet.
- Weather rescheduling. Pushes many visits for many clients at once after rain or snow (or inserts blank weather days) and notifies crews and customers automatically. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Crew time tracking against jobs. Crews log hours on each job from the app, feeding payroll and estimated-versus-actual labor. Built for you by the AI builder.
- GPS crew tracking and timestamps. Stamps crew records with GPS location (and, in LMN, weather notes) to show crews are on-site and on schedule. Not on Unstack yet.
- Subcontractor portal. Gives subcontractors their schedules and work tickets and lets them report time-and-material quantities for each visit. Built for you by the AI builder.
Job costing, equipment & materials
- Real-time estimated-versus-actual job costing. Compares estimated labor, materials and other costs to actuals while the job runs, showing where the business is making or losing money. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Costs by property, division and crew. Reports labor, material and job performance by property, division, service type, crew leader or work ticket, to judge whether a maintenance contract is worth renewing. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Equipment hours, costs and maintenance. Logs equipment use and hours, allocates equipment cost to jobs and triggers maintenance alerts at set hour or mileage intervals. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Purchasing and inventory from won bids. Carries estimated materials from won jobs into a purchasing list, raises POs to jobs or stock, and tracks inventory of plants, mulch, soil and other materials across locations. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Chemical and product application tracking. Records chemicals and products applied on each visit (RealGreen also logs weather and condition codes in the field). Built for you by the AI builder.
Field app
- Crew mobile app. Gives crew leads the day's schedule, work orders, notes and photos, and lets them log hours, materials and before-and-after photos from the property. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Spanish-language and offline crew app. Crew app available in English and Spanish (LMN) or usable without signal (Aspire's offline-capable app). Not on Unstack yet.
- Checklists, custom forms and site audits. Digital checklists and forms crews complete on the job, plus site audits and equipment issue requests from the field. Built for you by the AI builder.
Invoicing & payments
- Batch invoicing. Invoices every completed job or client in one click, typically at month end. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Online card and ACH payments with autopay. Customers pay by card, bank transfer or tap-to-pay, with automatic payments and receipts. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Deposits, progress and partial payments for installs. Ties payment schedules to project milestones, takes deposits on quotes, and bills change orders and partial payments. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Snow event work tickets and post-event invoicing. Schedules crews and subs for snow events on site maps that mark pile storage, logs materials used per visit, and invoices the event quickly afterward (Aspire claims 3.5x faster). Built for you by the AI builder.
Customer communication
- Customer portal. Clients request work, approve bids, see visits and pay invoices online at any hour. Install the Customer Portal template.
- Automated texts and emails. Sends confirmations, reminders, arrival notices and invoice follow-ups automatically, with two-way texting. Built for you by the AI builder.
- Marketing campaigns and review requests. Seasonal email/SMS campaigns, direct mail, review requests after jobs and referral tracking. Built for you by the AI builder.
Reporting
- KPI dashboards and custom reports. Real-time dashboards and reports on revenue, job costs and crew productivity, with KPI alerts. Built for you by the AI builder.
Integrations
- QuickBooks sync. Syncs invoices, payments and timesheets to QuickBooks (Online for all listed; LMN Professional, SingleOps and Arborgold also list Desktop; Aspire also syncs to Acumatica). Built for you by the AI builder.
- Open API and Zapier. Connects the system to other tools through an open API (Aspire) or Zapier (LMN Professional). Built for you by the AI builder.

Landscaping software questions
What is Unstack?
A workspace your business runs in: the software your team uses every day, plus a phone line, email, a website, a customer portal, payments, team chat and AI employees. Start from a template or describe how you work, and the AI builder sets it up. One price per workspace, with unlimited users.
Is there a ready-made landscaping template?
Not yet. You describe how your landscaping business runs, from how jobs come in to how you get paid, and the AI builder sets up the tables, pages and automations in your workspace. Change anything later the same way.
Does Unstack integrate with QuickBooks for accounting?
Unstack syncs with QuickBooks Online and Xero. Connect your account and the builder can set up an automation that sends invoices and payments across, so they aren't typed in twice. Stripe handles card payments and subscription billing.
Can crews access the dispatch board on mobile phones?
Yes. Crews use Unstack in their phone's browser or the iPhone app to see assigned jobs, clock in and out, upload before and after photos and get notifications.
How does contract renewal automation work?
Store each contract's renewal date, and an automation can email the customer ahead of it, create the invoice and the new season's jobs, and notify your crew leads.
Can I track equipment maintenance and hours?
Yes. Have the builder create an equipment table for mower hours, service intervals, fuel costs and maintenance records, with an automation that alerts crew leads when service is due.
Can I handle rain days?
Unstack has no weather feed of its own. When you call a rain day, a button can run an automation that texts affected customers and crews, and you move the jobs on the dispatch board.
Can customers request services directly?
Yes. In the customer portal clients see their service history, upcoming visits and invoices, and can send a service request. An automation can create the job and notify the office to assign a crew.
What happens if I need to switch platforms later?
You can export your data at any time: a full JSON export of your app, or any table as CSV. The REST API also lets other tools read it.
Do I pay per user?
No. Unstack is priced per workspace, so adding a technician or an office manager does not change the bill.
