Landscaping software
Quote the yard, order the stock, bill it as it goes in
Price a patio or a planting plan while you are standing in the garden. Take the deposit before the nursery order leaves your hands, and bill each stage as the yard comes together.
What a yard build actually costs you before it earns
Landscaping is the trade where you spend first. Stone, soil, plants and a machine hire all leave your account before a customer has paid you anything, and a season is short enough that one build going sideways is felt in the year's numbers.
Landscaping software is what holds the price you quoted, the deposit you took, and the stages you have billed, so the gap between spending and being paid is a number you can see rather than a feeling.
StrikeHoney does that on the phone that is already in your pocket, standing in the garden you are pricing.
- 01Materials and labour priced as separate lines
- 02A deposit that lands before you order stock
- 03Stages billed as the yard goes in
- 04Weather moved without losing the billing
- 05Maintenance visits that book themselves
The season does not give you a second run at it
Enquiries land in a three week window, and the ones you do not answer go to whoever did.
- Fifteen enquiries in a fortnight, five never followed up
- Prices worked out at night from measurements on a phone photo
- Stock ordered on a verbal yes
- Everything invoiced in autumn, when you finally sit down
- Every enquiry in one list, the ones going quiet flagged before they do
- The quote built and approved in the garden, in front of the customer
- A deposit in before the pallet leaves the yard
- The paving billed when it is down, not in November
Built for a short season
Price the yard while you are standing in it
Stone, soil, plants and labour go on as separate lines, so the customer can see what the flagstone costs and what the planting costs. They approve it from the patio door. A figure written on the back of a plan is a figure you both interpret differently in July.
Take the deposit before the nursery order
Approval and deposit happen in the same tap, so the money is in before you commit to a pallet of stone or a truck of topsoil. A handshake at the gate does not cover stock you have already paid for and cannot return.
Bill the hardscape now and the planting after
A yard goes in over weeks, in phases the customer can actually see. Bill the base and the paving when they are down, then the planting when it is in, and the remaining balance is worked out for you rather than at the kitchen table on a Sunday.
Keep the plant swaps off your evening
The change of mind about the hydrangeas arrives on your business number and sits on the job it belongs to. Your own mobile stops being the place a design conversation happens at 9 PM.

The bit that hurts
You fund the job before the job funds you.
Materials go on your card, the machine hire goes on your card, and the customer pays once at the end. A deposit taken at approval turns that around without you having to ask for it twice.
A yard build, before and after
Design work and grounds work are two businesses
A patio build and a fortnightly tidy need different things, and most people doing one also do the other.
Money out before money in
Deposits at approval exist because you buy the stone before anyone has paid you for it.
Weather owns the calendar
Move a visit and the billing moves with it, so a fortnight of rain does not become a billing argument.
A build is not one invoice
Stages billed as they finish, with the balance recalculated, so the last bill is not the whole bill.
Sound like your spring?
You, a truck, and another pair of hands when it gets busy. No estimator, and nobody in an office chasing the nursery for you.
- You do installs, not only cutting: paving, planting, walls, grading.
- You lay out money on materials before the customer has paid you anything.
- Your season is short, and what happens in April decides the year.
- You want the maintenance visits after a build to keep themselves booked.
Materials and labour on the same yard, taxed once
A landscaping invoice mixes things you bought with hours you worked, and the tax lands on the lot. On a build worth several thousand dollars, a wrong rate is not a rounding error you notice later.
The rate comes from your province and is applied for you, whichever way you split the bill, and the totals stay in the tax report for the year end.

| Province | Tax | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | HST | 13% |
| British Columbia | GST + PST | 5% + 7% |
| Alberta | GST | 5% |
| Quebec | GST + QST | 5% + 9.975% |
A separate provincial tax is opt in, because whether it lands on labour or only on materials depends on the trade. Rates checked against the Canada Revenue Agency in August 2026.
One plan. Choose how often you pay.
You already carry the cost of the stone. The software should not be another thing you carry.
- Leads, quotes, jobs and invoicing
- Your own business phone number
- GST/HST worked out by province
- Cancel any time, export any time
Before you ask
Landscaping software is how a landscaper quotes a yard, keeps a build together across the weeks it takes, and bills for it. It stands in for the drawing with a price on the back and the pile of nursery receipts in the glovebox.
Yes. Every line is its own item, so stone, soil, plants and your hours are all priced where the customer can see them. They can approve the whole thing or query one line rather than the total.
Yes. The quote can ask for a deposit at the moment they approve it, and it is credited against the final invoice. You are not fronting a pallet of flagstone on a verbal yes.
Yes. Invoice the paving when it is down and the planting when it is in, and the balance still owing is recalculated for you each time. A yard that took five weeks does not have to be billed as one lump at the end.
Yes. Put a property on a repeat schedule and its visits generate themselves, so the customer you just built for stays on the calendar instead of in a note about next spring.
Both. It is built for one person first. Bring someone on and they get a stripped-down view of the jobs they are on, with the money hidden.
$24/mo CAD, everything included. Pay six months ahead and it works out to $21/mo CAD; pay for the year up front and it is $19/mo CAD. Same product, less money. One plan, no tiers, no add-ons.
