This prices an annual commercial landscape maintenance contract from its parts. Mowing and trimming visits at the crew hours each one takes, seasonal cleanups at theirs, all at your loaded crew rate with overhead and profit on top; mulch by the yard installed and fertilizer and weed treatments by the visit at your prices; and the tool ends on the annual contract price, what it bills as twelve monthly payments, and the labor price per mowing visit so a property manager can compare it to the last contractor. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves the contract against the property for the renewal.

Visits times hours, because the season is the unit

A maintenance contract is a year of visits, and its labor is the visits times the crew hours each one takes. The tool takes mowing and cleanup visits separately, because a cleanup is a day and a mow is an hour, and shows the crew hours a year so the contract can be checked against how many crews the season needs.

Overhead and profit on the labor, materials at your prices

The loaded rate covers wage and burden; overhead and profit go on top as a share of the labor, because that is where the trucks, the office and the margin live. Mulch is priced per yard installed and treatments per visit, at your prices, so the materials line is what you would charge for them on their own.

Annual, monthly and per visit, all on the page

The contract is sold as an annual price, billed as twelve equal payments so the cash arrives in February when the mower does not run, and compared by the property manager per mowing visit. The tool shows all three from the same parts, so the per-visit figure is the result of the contract rather than a number you started from.

Commercial landscape maintenance contract: common questions

Is this a free commercial landscape maintenance contract calculator?

Yes. Enter the mowing and cleanup visits and their crew hours, your loaded rate, the mulch yards and treatments at your prices and your overhead and profit share, and it prices the contract on the page with the monthly billing and the labor per visit, no account. Print it as it stands. HardscapeDesk Pro adds your company name and logo and saves the contract against the property with its renewal date.

How do I price landscape maintenance per month?

Price the year from its parts, visits times hours at a loaded rate with overhead and profit, plus mulch and treatments, then divide by twelve. The tool does that and shows the annual figure beside the monthly one, so the customer sees that the winter payments are the summer's mowing spread out rather than a charge for nothing.

Should mulch and treatments be in the contract or billed separately?

Either, but decide before you price it: in the contract they are spread across twelve payments and renew with it; billed separately they are an estimate each spring. The tool prices them inside the contract; set them to zero to price the labor-only contract and quote the materials as their own line.
