Landscaping is really two businesses in one. There's the project work — paving, decks, retaining walls, turf — which needs proper itemised quotes with a lot of materials. And there's the maintenance side — mowing, hedging, garden care — which is regular clients on a schedule, lots of small recurring invoices. Most apps do one or the other. Yamate handles both, so the whole lot lives in one place.
For the build jobs
- Itemised material + labour quotes — pavers, soil, turf, plants, timber, machinery hire and your labour as separate lines for a real price.
- Deposits and staged payments on bigger builds so materials and machine hire aren't coming out of your pocket.
- Variations — add the extra retaining or drainage as a line when the site throws up surprises.
For the maintenance clients
- Recurring jobs — set a client to weekly or fortnightly once and the mow/maintenance visit comes back on your schedule automatically.
- Batch invoicing — bill all your maintenance regulars at the end of the month in one go instead of chasing lots of little payments.
- Easy payment — a PayID on every invoice so regulars just tap and pay.
Typical work it handles
Paving and pathways, retaining walls, turf and synthetic lawn, garden beds and planting, irrigation, decks and pergolas, fencing, mulching and soil, plus recurring lawn mowing, hedging, weeding and general garden maintenance.

What's the best app for a landscaping business in Australia?
For a solo landscaper, the best app handles both project quotes and recurring maintenance. Yamate quotes itemised builds, runs maintenance clients on repeat, batch-invoices monthly and auto-chases late payers — for $19/mo on iPhone and Android.
Can I run both one-off builds and weekly maintenance clients?
Yes — quote and invoice project work as one-off jobs, and set maintenance clients to recur weekly or fortnightly so they come back automatically and can be batch-invoiced.
Can I invoice all my maintenance clients at once?
Yes — batch invoicing lets you bill a month of regular maintenance clients in one go rather than one at a time.
