Need chemical application logs or turf diagnostics?
Zentive organizes your service business. Confirm pesticide records, application rates, compliance reporting and specialist turf-management needs separately. A job note is not a dedicated chemical compliance system.

What is lawn care
business software?
Lawn care software connects customer and property records, lawn service estimates, recurring visits, crew routes, time tracking, invoices and payments. A solo operator can start with quotes and billing; a growing mowing business can coordinate multiple crews and review entered job costs on eligible plans.
Use one shared record for the office and field team, with plan-specific routing, accounting sync and reporting. Explore the trial with a real customer workflow before choosing your plan.

A few things
worth knowing.
Scheduling, estimates, billing and the details that matter to your lawn care business.
Ask us about your workflow →Can I schedule weekly and biweekly mowing visits?
Yes. Schedule recurring lawn care visits and assign crews. Choose a schedule that matches the customer agreement, and review upcoming visits when the season or service frequency changes.
How do I handle rain delays or skipped lawn visits?
Move or reschedule visits and update crew assignments when rain or customer availability changes the day. Review the related invoice before billing; moving a visit and changing a customer charge are separate decisions.
Can I quote aeration, overseeding and fertilization?
Yes. Add your services and costs to an itemized quote. Keep the agreed frequency and scope clear, whether the service is a one-time job or recurring work.
Can I manage homeowners, HOAs and commercial lawns?
Yes. Organize customers, contacts and service properties, with property access instructions and job history for your team.
Is it a lawn care CRM, routing app and billing system?
Zentive combines customer records, quotes, scheduling, routes on eligible plans, invoices and payments. Confirm the features and user count included in your chosen plan.
Does it include turf diagnostics or chemical compliance reporting?
No dedicated turf diagnosis or chemical compliance system is claimed here. Keep specialist requirements such as pesticide application logs, rates and regulatory reports in the appropriate system.
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.
Can I track lawn care job costs and profit?
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.
How much does lawn care 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 lawn care paperwork?
Zentive offers a 14-day trial with no credit card required, rather than a permanent free plan. The free lawn care quote and invoice generators below can create downloadable paperwork without a subscription.
How do I move from spreadsheets or another lawn care 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.
