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.

Game changer

Since joining SortScape over a year ago it has completely transformed my admin and given me so much more free time. It also makes the operations run much smoother. In the last year all the updates have been brilliant and made the app even better to use. Highly recommend!

Excellent customer service and communication

Sortscape is possibly the biggest unlock I've made in my business. After my initial clumsy experimentation with the main features, I've come to completely trust and rely on the software to keep me and my staff organised and my admin simple and largely automated. I didn't next to no time now with sending and following up invoices and quotes, and scheduling (and rescheduling due to weather and staff) is very easy to put together accurately. I'd love to see the Route Optimisation feature upgraded with an option to plan routes with the target address on the left-hand side for better efficiency and safety, and an option to avoid right-hand turns onto major roads (or make minor detours to traffic lights) to make driving etc a trailer easier in inner city areas. Customer service has always been excellent. The chatbot is decent, with the usual AI quirks and logic loops. But if it gets stuck and doesn't give me a good answer, one of the human staff gets back to me usually within 24 hours. New features and quality of life improvements are being added constantly, with very few crashes or scheduled downtime. I was previously a Jim's Mowing franchisee and the comparison between Sortscape and the Jim's software is night and day, I only wish I'd made the move years earlier. Thank you, team! I hope you keep going from strength to strength

Response from SortScape

Hi Joe, Thanks so much for the generous review! “Biggest unlock I’ve made in my business” is about the best thing we could hope to hear, and we’re glad the invoicing, quoting and scheduling are now running largely on their own for you. I really appreciate the detailed route optimisation suggestions too. Both sound like good ideas, especially for trailer work in the inner city, and I’ve logged them for future consideration. Thanks also for the kind words about support and reliability. We know the chatbot isn’t always perfect, so it’s good to hear the handover to a human is working when it gets stuck. (We also improve the chatbot every day.) A lot of what we ship comes straight from feedback like yours, and we keep a close eye on performance and stability so the app is there when you and your crew need it. Thanks for being a loyal SortScape customer! Bill
