Good Plan for Landscapers
Landscaping projects—from spring cleanups to full hardscaping—can cost $2,000-$30,000+. Seasonal weather and customer budgets don't always align.
Good Plan helps landscapers get paid fairly while accommodating the seasonal realities of both your business and your customers' finances.
Common Landscaping Scenarios
Spring/Fall Cleanup
Cost: $800-$3,000
Challenge: After winter, homeowners have unexpected expenses (roof damage, furnace repairs). Your invoice adds to the pile.
Hardscaping Projects
Cost: $10,000-$50,000
Challenge: Major investment. Customers often underestimate final cost once materials and labor are included.
Retaining Walls
Cost: $5,000-$20,000
Challenge: Necessary for grading/drainage but expensive. Customers need it but struggle with lump sum.
Irrigation Systems
Cost: $3,000-$8,000
Challenge: Essential for lawn health but large upfront cost.
Commercial Properties
Cost: Varies
Challenge: Businesses have cash flow cycles. Need flexibility in payment timing.
Seasonal Considerations
Spring
Customers eager to start projects but may not have full budget ready.
Solution: Payment plans spread across growing season (April-October).
Summer
Peak season. Projects complete but customers also paying for vacations, back-to-school expenses.
Solution: 3-6 month plans extend into fall when other expenses decrease.
Fall
Cleanup and winterization. Customers preparing for heating bills.
Solution: Short-term plans (2-3 months) before winter.
Winter
Your slow season. Customers also have holiday expenses, heating bills.
Solution: Snow removal on payment plans if needed.
