Scheduling

Lawn care scheduling software that keeps every crew on track

Running a lawn care or landscaping business means juggling weekly mowing routes, seasonal treatments, multiple crews, and rain days. LawnPro puts all of it on one calendar, so you can set up recurring visits once, see which days are full, and keep your crews on the same page.

Stop juggling spreadsheets and sticky notes

If you're still managing your schedule with paper calendars, Excel spreadsheets, or a whiteboard in the office, you're wasting hours every week—and risking costly mistakes. Double-bookings frustrate customers. Missed appointments cost you money. And when a crew member calls in sick, scrambling to reassign jobs becomes a nightmare.

LawnPro's scheduling software was built for lawn care and landscaping businesses. Whether you're a solo operator managing 50 weekly mowings or a growing company with multiple crews handling hundreds of jobs, our calendar gives you a clear, real-time view of your entire operation. You'll always know who's working where, what's coming up next, and whether you have capacity to take on more work.

Best of all, your team sees their schedule on the mobile app—so they arrive prepared, complete jobs faster, and you spend less time answering "where am I going next?" phone calls.

LawnPro Calendar Overview

How scheduling works in LawnPro

From one-time service calls to complex recurring programs, LawnPro handles it all.

Create one-time visits in seconds

Need to schedule a one-time cleanup, a spring mulch job, or a quick service call? Creating a single visit takes just a few clicks. Navigate to your schedule, click "New Visit," select the customer and property, add the services you'll be performing, and assign it to a crew member or employee.

Budgeted hours add up from the services on the visit, so your calendar shows a realistic workload. Pick a color to tell job types apart at a glance, and add notes or instructions that your team will see in the app when they arrive on site.

If the customer has a time requirement, like "must be done before 2pm," set a start time on the visit. Your crew gets the details they need: address, services to perform, and any special instructions.

Create Single Visit

Set up recurring visits that run on autopilot

Most lawn care revenue comes from recurring services—weekly mowing, bi-weekly maintenance, monthly fertilization. Instead of manually creating dozens of visits, set up a recurring series once and LawnPro generates all future visits automatically.

Choose from flexible frequencies: Daily (every weekday or every X days), Weekly (select specific days like Monday/Wednesday/Friday), Bi-Weekly, Monthly (on a specific date or "the 2nd Tuesday"), or Yearly for annual services.

Set a start date, then end the series on a date, after a set number of visits, or let it run until you stop it. When the season ends, pause the series, with an optional date for it to resume on its own, or set up off seasons that every series skips each year. Nothing has to be rebuilt in the spring.

Need to reschedule one visit in a recurring series? Just drag it to a new date. LawnPro asks whether to move just that visit or the rest of the series' open visits.

Recurring Visit Series

Multiple views to see your schedule your way

Different situations call for different views. LawnPro gives you multiple ways to see your calendar so you always have the perspective you need:

Day View: See every visit scheduled for a single day, broken down by time slots. Perfect for dispatch and checking crew availability.

Week View: Get a high-level look at your entire week. Quickly spot gaps in your schedule or days that are overbooked.

Month View: Plan ahead and see the big picture. Great for identifying seasonal patterns and scheduling future work.

Grid View: A list-style view that shows all visits with details. Ideal for batch operations: select multiple visits and complete them, invoice them, assign a crew, move them to a new date, or skip them all at once.

Drag and drop works in the Day, Week, and Month calendars. Need to move a job from Tuesday to Thursday? Just click, drag, and drop, or select several visits and drag them together.

Calendar Views

Assign work to crews and filter by team

When you have multiple crews in the field, knowing who's doing what becomes critical. LawnPro lets you create crews (like "Crew A - Mowing" or "Crew B - Landscaping"), assign employees to those crews, and then assign visits to the appropriate team.

Use calendar filters to show only one crew's schedule at a time. This is especially useful when you're dispatching or when a crew lead wants to see just their team's jobs for the day without the clutter of other crews.

Capacity bars show each day's budgeted hours against your crews' capacity, so you can see who has room for a last-minute job. If a crew calls in sick, select their visits in the Grid and assign them to another crew in one step. Turn on crew notifications and a crew gets a push notification when a new visit is assigned to them.

In your Scheduler Preferences, tell LawnPro whether you work Saturdays and Sundays, and whether recurring visits that land on a day off are skipped or moved to Friday or Monday.

Filter by Crew

Close visits and create invoices without leaving your calendar

The best part of finishing a job should be getting paid—not spending 20 minutes on paperwork. LawnPro connects your schedule directly to invoicing so you can close visits and bill customers in one fluid motion.

When your crew completes a job, they can mark it done from the mobile app. Or, from the office, click on any visit and hit "Complete & Invoice"—LawnPro automatically creates an invoice with all the services and prices already filled in.

For batch operations, switch to Grid View, select multiple completed visits, and close them all at once. Based on your settings, LawnPro creates one invoice per visit, per customer, or per property, or adds the visit to a customer invoice that hasn't been sent yet.

Once invoices are created, you can send them immediately by email or text message, or have them printed and mailed with postage credits. Customers click a link to view and pay online—no phone calls, no checks to deposit. You get paid faster, and your books stay accurate.

Advanced Scheduling Features

Go beyond basic scheduling with powerful tools designed for growing businesses.

Multi-Step Programs

For services like fertilization, pest control, or seasonal lawn care programs, you need to schedule multiple visits in a specific sequence. Multi-Step Programs let you create templates with defined steps—like "Round 1: Pre-emergent" and "Round 2: Fertilizer"—then assign them to customers and generate all the visits automatically. Track each program as active, paused, completed, or canceled, and pause or resume it at any time. Included on the Grow and Plus plans.

Waitlist Estimates

When your schedule is full but you don't want to turn away good work, use the Waitlist. Approved estimates can be held in a queue until you have capacity. When a spot opens up—maybe a customer cancels or you hire a new crew member—pull from your waitlist and schedule instantly. No lost leads, no forgotten opportunities. You maintain control of your capacity while keeping potential revenue in the pipeline.

Off-Season Pause

Lawn care is seasonal in most parts of the country. When winter hits, you don't want to delete all your recurring visits; you just want to pause them until spring. Pause a series with an optional date for it to resume on its own, or set up off seasons, like December through February, that every series skips each year. No rebuilding, no re-entering data.

Why lawn care pros love LawnPro scheduling

Save hours every week

Stop wasting time with phone calls, texts, and whiteboard shuffling. Set up recurring visits once, move a batch of visits in one step, and give every crew the same up-to-date calendar.

Spot overbooked days

Capacity bars compare each day's budgeted hours with what your crews can handle, so you can see an overloaded day before your crews are stuck working late.

Crews always know where to go

Your team sees their schedule on the LawnPro mobile app—complete with addresses, customer notes, and services to perform. A tap on the address opens directions in their maps app. No more morning meetings to hand out paper route sheets.

Handle rain days on the fly

Move a whole day's visits at once, or push every open visit forward 1 to 7 days, with the option to shift future recurring visits too. Visit reminders move with the visits.

Know if you can take more work

Before you say yes to a new customer, quickly check your calendar to see if you have capacity. Identify gaps in your schedule and fill them with profitable work instead of guessing.

Get paid faster

Close visits and create invoices directly from your calendar. The faster you invoice, the faster you get paid. LawnPro connects scheduling to payments so nothing falls through the cracks.

Can my crews see their schedule on their phones?

Does LawnPro optimize routes?

Yes. Optimize a day by shortest distance or fastest drive time, drag stops into your own order, and lock a stop to a position or time. Routing is included on the Grow and Plus plans and is an add-on on other plans.
