What is landscaping
business software?
Landscaping business software connects customer records, property details, estimates, crew schedules, routes, job costs, invoices and payments in one system.
Landscape management software helps the office and field team work from the same record, whether you maintain properties every week or complete planting, mulch and installation projects.
An owner-operator can begin with quoting and invoicing. Growing teams can add routing, accounting sync and reporting on the right plan. It manages the business; landscape design software serves a separate planning and visualization task.

A few things
worth knowing.
Estimates, recurring visits, crew schedules and the details that matter.
Ask us about your workflow →Can I manage recurring maintenance and one-time landscape projects?
Yes. Schedule repeat property visits and one-time work, assign crews and keep the scope with the job. Review your exact billing frequency and multi-day project needs during the trial.
Does it work for residential and commercial landscaping?
Yes. Organize homeowners, commercial customers and service properties. Keep contacts, site instructions and job history connected so your team knows which property it is serving.
Can I create estimates for labor, plants, mulch and materials?
Yes. Build itemized quotes from your saved products and services, with labor, material, overhead and profit in your pricing. Enter your own quantities and costs; this is not automated drawing takeoff.
Can I reschedule landscaping jobs when it rains?
Yes. Adjust the schedule and crew assignments when weather or site access changes the plan. Your office decides which visits move; Zentive is not being presented as automatic weather-based dispatch.
Can I plan routes and track crew time?
Route planning, GPS and time tracking are available on eligible plans. Crews can see assigned jobs and record time from the field. Check the full plan breakdown for the features your team needs.
Can crews use it on phones and tablets?
Yes. Access schedules, job details, property notes and photos from the field. Offline access and later syncing are described on the current page; test the exact workflow and device during your trial.
Does Zentive include landscape job costing and profit reporting?
Track the labor, materials and overhead entered against job revenue. Reporting on eligible plans helps you review margins. Accurate results depend on complete time and cost records.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks Online?
Yes, on eligible plans. Review how customer, product and paid-invoice records sync with your accounting workflow. Zentive organizes operations; QuickBooks remains your accounting system.
Can I invoice customers and accept online payments?
Yes. Create invoices, track balances and collect online payments through Stripe. Payment-processing fees are separate from the subscription. Review recurring billing and autopay settings before use.
Can customers approve quotes and receive reminders?
The customer portal supports quote review and online invoice payment. Email and SMS reminders help with appointments and follow-ups. SMS reminders are one-way; customers respond by phone or email.
Does this replace landscape design software or inventory management?
No. Zentive focuses on business management. Use specialist software for CAD, 3D renderings, planting plans, automated takeoffs or live inventory. Confirm progress billing, retainage and complex construction requirements in a demo.
How much does landscaping software cost?
Zentive starts at $51 per month equivalent with annual billing ($612 per year), or $64 billed monthly for Starter. Standard and Growth Pro support larger teams. Use the pricing toggle above and check plan-specific features.
Is there a free plan or free landscaping paperwork?
Zentive offers a 14-day trial with no credit card required, rather than a permanent free plan. The free landscaping quote and invoice generators below can create downloadable paperwork without a subscription.
How do I move from spreadsheets or another landscaping app?
Import your customer list by CSV, set up services and pricing, and try your first job. Guided onboarding is available. Confirm the transfer of historical jobs, photos and recurring schedules before migrating.
