Hardscape and outdoor living software for installs, not mow routes

Patios, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, fire features and full backyard builds are construction projects with selections, changes and a client standing in the middle of them. That is exactly what this runs.

A takeoff on sheet A1.0, the main level floor plan of the demo company's Alpine Ridge Custom Home, zoomed to one measurement: the covered deck, 24 feet by 10 feet, outlined on the plan and measured as 240 square feet of composite decking, priced at $7,812; beside it the measuring tools (linear, wall, area, volume, roof, count), the saved presets, among them a composite deck area, and the sheet's other measurements

Estimate by the square foot, the ton, the pallet

Quantity, unit and unit cost on every line, with your own cost codes underneath. Square feet of paver, tons of base, linear feet of wall, each with its own price history.

Selections and allowances belong outdoors too

Pavers, stone, veneer, lighting, grill and appliance packages — set an allowance, let the client choose against it, and watch the overage price itself into the job instead of quietly eating your margin.

The backyard changes mid-build, and that is fine

They see the wall going in and want it two courses higher. Price the change, send it to the portal, get it signed that afternoon — the crew keeps moving and the extra is on the record instead of in somebody's memory.

A client who can see the plan stops calling about it

Photos, schedule, approvals and payment status in one private link. Outdoor projects are lived-with while they are built; the portal turns a hovering client into an informed one.

Questions builders ask

Does this handle maintenance contracts and mowing routes?

No. This is built for installation work — projects that start, get built and finish. There is no recurring billing, no maintenance contract and no route scheduling, so the maintenance side of a landscape business will not run here. Plenty of firms run installs in one system and maintenance in another; if you are design-build, this is your side of that line.

Can I keep allowances for stone and lighting?

Yes — allowances with client-facing selections are core here, and overages price into the job automatically rather than being discovered at the end.

Do subs and crews get access?

Yes, and separately. Crews get their scope and hours, subcontractors get their own portal, clients see only what you show them — all included, no per-user fees.
