Spread annual service costs into equal monthly payments. A $3,600 lawn program becomes $300/month—customers budget easily and you collect revenue year-round, even through the slow season. Create agreements, link visits, generate invoices automatically, and track every contract in one place.
Go to the Finance tab → Level Billing Agreements and create a new agreement. Select the customer, enter the total contract value (say $3,600 for the year), choose the number of payments (12 for monthly), pick the billing day of the month, and set the start date. LawnPro calculates the monthly payment amount automatically—$300/month in this case. The agreement is created and ready to generate invoices on schedule.
When you create single or recurring visits for that customer, use the level billing dropdown to link the visits to the agreement. This connects your service delivery to the contract so you can track what's been done against what was promised. The visits show up on the schedule like normal—the crew doesn't see anything different. But behind the scenes, each completed visit is tracked against the contract.
LawnPro generates the monthly invoice automatically on the billing day you specified. The customer gets the same amount every month—regardless of how many visits happened that month. In summer you might mow every week; in winter you might not visit at all. The invoice is the same. If the customer has auto-charge enabled, the card charges the moment the invoice is created. If not, the invoice sends by email or text and the customer pays through the portal.
Each agreement shows its status, payment history, remaining balance, and linked visits. When a contract is approaching its end, you can extend it to add more payments and continue the arrangement without creating a new agreement. If a customer needs to cancel, LawnPro supports soft cancellation—the contract status updates and any remaining balance stays visible. You see every active, completed, and cancelled agreement in one dashboard.
Most lawn care businesses see revenue drop dramatically in winter. You're still paying employees, truck payments, insurance, and rent—but the mowing revenue disappears. Level billing solves this by spreading annual service costs into equal monthly payments. You collect $300 in January just like you collect $300 in July.
Customers love it too. Instead of a $450 bill one month and a $0 bill the next, they pay the same amount every month. It's easier for them to budget, and annual contract customers renew at significantly higher rates than per-visit customers—because the commitment creates a relationship, not just a transaction.
We moved 60% of our residential customers to annual contracts with level billing. Our December revenue went from barely covering expenses to matching our best summer months. The customers love knowing exactly what to expect, and we love not stressing about payroll in January.
LawnPro Customer
Level billing isn't just an invoice feature—it's a business model that stabilizes your revenue.
Enter the total contract value and number of payments. LawnPro divides it evenly and generates each invoice on schedule.
Tie single or recurring visits to a level billing agreement. Track service delivery against the contract automatically.
Invoices generate on the billing day you set. Combined with auto-charge, the monthly payment collects itself.
Add more payments to an existing agreement when a contract is approaching its end. No need to create a new one.
See active, completed, and cancelled agreements in one dashboard. Track remaining balance and payment history per contract.
Pair level billing with auto-charge so the customer's card is charged the instant the monthly invoice is generated.
Level billing for lawn care takes the total annual cost of a customer's services and divides it into equal monthly payments. Instead of billing per visit—where customers see high bills in summer and nothing in winter—they pay the same flat amount every month. For the business, this means steady, predictable revenue year-round. For the customer, it means easier budgeting and no surprise bills.
In LawnPro, you create a level billing agreement by entering the total contract value and the number of payments. LawnPro calculates the monthly amount and generates invoices automatically on the day you choose. You can link recurring visits to the agreement so service delivery is tracked against the contract. When a contract is nearing its end, you can extend it with additional payments. The entire agreement lifecycle—from creation to invoicing to renewal—is managed in one place.
The real power comes when you combine level billing with auto-charge and auto-invoicing. The invoice generates on the 1st of the month, the card charges automatically, the receipt sends via automation, and the payment syncs to QuickBooks. The customer pays $300/month for their full lawn program and never has to think about it. You collect revenue every month—including the months when you're not mowing—and never have to chase a payment. It's the closest thing to subscription revenue in the lawn care industry.
