Custom Software for Landscaping & Lawn Care
Weather, routes, recurring mows, and one-off installs don’t live happily in a generic CRM. Tell us how your crews start the day. We’ll build an app around that.

The problem
Peak season exposes every crack.
Skipped properties, unclear crew notes, estimates that never turned into jobs cleanly, and billing that lags behind what’s done in the field. A whiteboard and a group chat only stretch so far.
- Recurring mows collide with install crews on the same calendar
- Route changes are tribal knowledge by 6:30 a.m.
- Property details and gate codes get lost between seasons
- Won estimates don’t connect cleanly to scheduling
- Job status is a phone call away — every time
What we could build
What we could build for your crews
From recurring maintenance to project jobs — one place office and field can trust. Shaped to your routes and seasons, not a template that assumes every Tuesday looks the same.
Recurring jobs & crew scheduling
Maintenance cycles with crew capacity you can reshuffle when rain wins.
Routes
Day boards that reflect geography and who’s on the truck — not a random list of addresses.
Estimates → jobs
Won work becomes schedulable jobs with scope notes still attached.
Customer & property records
Service history, photos, irrigation notes, and access details on the property — season after season.
Job status & billing
Know what’s done in the field and what’s ready to bill without a Friday scavenger hunt.
These are examples of workflows we can combine or customize — not a promise that every landscaping or lawn care company build includes all of them.
Route-heavy shops and project-heavy shops need different days
Some companies are mow machines. Others design and install. Many are both in June. We build for the mix you actually run. Your crews shouldn’t have to fit software that was built for a different kind of outdoor work.
Example: a rainy Tuesday reshuffle
- 1
Recurring mows load for the day
Crews see properties, notes, and sequence before leaving the yard.
- 2
Weather kills the afternoon
Office moves unfinished stops forward. What got skipped stays on each property.
- 3
An estimate turns into a job
A bed install lands on the project calendar with crew needs and materials notes.
- 4
Completed work feeds billing
Finished maintenance and installs show up in the billing step you define.
Common questions
- We already have a CRM. Why build something?
- A lot of CRMs are great at contacts and terrible at routes, weather reshuffles, and property notes. If you’re still texting the crew at dawn, the tool isn’t matching the work.
- Do I need to draw diagrams of our process?
- No. Tell us how a normal week and a rainy week look. What’s messy? What do you wish the office and trucks both saw? That’s enough to start.
- What’s the starting cost?
- Custom apps for local businesses can start around $1,000 depending on scope. We’ll be upfront before we build.
- Can it handle both mowing and installs?
- Yes. We shape the app to your mix — recurring routes, project jobs, or both — instead of pretending one calendar view fixes everything.
Why Hey App Works
Buy ready-made software
Fast to start — until your business doesn’t match the template. Then you bend how you work to fit the tool.
Traditional custom development
Built around you, but often priced way outside a small business budget — and easy to get stuck with after launch.
Hey App Works
Tell us how you work. We build an app around it, host it, and keep it running. You pay to get your version built and a monthly fee to keep using it.
