Overview

Job management & invoicing software for lawn mowing & garden maintenance businesses.

SortScape is job management and invoicing software purpose-built for lawn mowing and garden maintenance businesses. It replaces spreadsheets, paper calendars and manual invoicing with one simple, powerful system designed for crew-based field work.

Generic field service apps might work for plumbers and electricians, but lawn mowing and garden maintenance businesses have unique needs—like recurring maintenance schedules, seasonal work, crew-based routing and tracking job profitability. Most field service apps require plugins or workarounds to handle these basics. SortScape is built specifically for the green industry, so recurring jobs, seasonal demands and crew workflows are built in from the start.

With SortScape you can:

  1. Manage the full job workflow Create quotes, schedule recurring and one-off jobs, plan crew routes, track time and convert jobs into invoices in a few clicks.

  2. Get paid faster with Xero Send professional invoices, sync customers and avoid double data entry. Your books stay accurate and up to date automatically.

  3. Keep your team organised Assign jobs to staff, track progress and give crews mobile access to their schedule, job notes and timers from anywhere.

  4. Save time with automation Send automatic client reminders, repeat job schedules and follow-ups so work never falls through the cracks.

  5. Grow profit on every job Use job timers to understand real labour time and ensure pricing stays profitable—especially for recurring mowing runs.

Key features include:

  • Quotes and estimates
  • One-off and recurring scheduling (perfect for mowing runs)
  • Route optimisation and crew planning
  • Staff and crew assignment
  • Mobile access for field staff with offline capability
  • Job notes and photos
  • Time tracking and job timers
  • Automated client reminders via email or SMS/text message
  • Convert jobs to invoices and automatically send them to customers
  • Sync schedules to Google, Apple or Outlook calendars so staff can see jobs alongside personal appointments
  • Integrate with thousands of apps via Zapier to automate contacts, jobs and invoices—without writing code
  • Reporting and job profitability insights
  • Permissions to hide customer pricing from staff and protect margins
  • Simple, intuitive design with minimal training required
  • Responsive customer support that understands lawn and garden businesses

SortScape is trusted by over 1,000 lawn mowing and garden maintenance businesses across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the US. It’s also one of the highest-rated job management apps in the Xero App Store.

If you run a lawn mowing, garden maintenance or grounds care business, SortScape gives you everything you need to operate efficiently and profitably—without the complexity of generic trade software.

SortScape + Xero

SortScape keeps your Xero data in sync so your team always works with accurate customer and pricing information.

Contacts: SortScape imports your Xero contacts and keeps them in sync automatically. Updates made in Xero are reflected in SortScape and vice versa.

Materials / Products: Your Xero products and services are imported as “materials” so field staff can add them to jobs while out in the field.

Recurring jobs: Easily schedule repeating jobs for any customer imported from Xero.

Invoicing: When a job is complete, just click a button in SortScape to create a Xero invoice with all job details pre-filled and send it to the customer by email or SMS in one step—no need to log into Xero. This saves you time and helps you get paid faster.

SortScape: A Game-Changer for Professional Gardeners

If you’re running a property maintenance business, you know the "admin headache" is real. Between juggling rain delays and chasing payments, it’s easy to spend more time on your phone than on a mower. SortScape is the first software I've found that actually feels like it was built by someone who understands the dirt and the hustle. Intelligent Scheduling The standout feature is the recurring job logic. In most apps, if you move a fortnightly mow from Tuesday to Wednesday due to rain, it messes up the whole sequence. SortScape handles this perfectly: One-off changes: Shift a single job without affecting the future. Permanent shifts: Use the "Apply to future visits" option to instantly update the entire recurring series while keeping the original value of the contract intact. Professional Customer Communication It automates the "I'm coming tomorrow" text and email alerts. This keeps clients in the loop and gives them a chance to add extra tasks before you arrive, which is great for boosting job value. Seamless Xero Integration The integration with Xero is world-class. Once a job is marked complete: Invoices are generated and sent via email and SMS instantly. The professional look and ease of payment mean customers often pay via their mobile before I’ve even loaded the equipment into the van for the next job. The Verdict: For any gardener or landscaper looking to kill the paperwork and get paid faster, SortScape isn't just a tool—it's the backbone of a professional operation. It’s simple, local, and incredibly effective.

Very Handy for invoicing customers before I leave the Driveway. Better than a Diary.

Great for a mowing business planing system

It is at its limits in cost vs worth atm. but as we have started with it 3 years ago and for now we will continue for now to use it, as really it something our phones and computers can do with a basic cloud, but as an app it works well

Response from SortScape

Hi Zara-Lee, Thanks for taking the time to write us a review! I’m glad to hear SortScape is working well for your business. We understand cost vs value is important and we aim to provide strong value for the price. SortScape goes well beyond basic cloud with features like quoting, automated messaging, inbound requests, service reports, and integrations with Xero and QuickBooks Online so there may be areas you haven’t fully explored yet. If you’d like help getting more out of the system, feel free to reach out to support or jump into the SortScape user group in Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/sortscape/ Thanks again for your feedback and for being with us over the past few years. Kind regards, Bill
