Purpose-built for lawn and garden businesses

The operating system for lawn care businesses.

Built for a one-person business first.
Crew tools stay optional until you need them.

Work out how long each job takes and what it must be priced at, standing on the customer's verge with your phone.
Then manage clients, scheduling, spray records, invoicing and profitability in the same app.
Start on your own for free, and the same app is still there when you take on your first hire.

Generic CRMs organise the work. Mow Quote understands it.

Built for the work you actually do

Built for mowing, gardening, spraying, turf, renovations and landscaping.
Mow Quote forecasts how long each job should take from your calibrated mower and task rates, and prices it from what your labour and equipment actually cost.
The accepted work then carries through customer approval, scheduling, job tracking, reporting and accounting.
One person or a crew - it is the same app either way.

Other apps

How Mow Quote differs from other apps

Some apps help price the job.
Others help run it.
Mow Quote does both.
From the first estimate through scheduling, invoicing and profitability.

Estimating built on a library of timed jobs prices at the pace that produced the library.
In a first season you are slower than that, so the quote falls short of the time the work takes.
Once you are quick, the same average hands back the margin your speed earned.
Mow Quote calibrates to the person doing the work, and the rates stay yours to tighten as you get faster.

Lawn quoting

Basic or Advanced when you need it

Start with a cleaner Basic quote screen, switch to Advanced for detailed pricing, then measure lawn area from satellite and pull m² straight into the quote.

  • Basic and Advanced form modes with configurable sections
  • Mower-specific rates, minimums, cut width, speed, and bagging
  • Area-based lawn quotes with per-acre pricing options

Completed satellite lawn measurement
Quote Health service cards comparing Garden Care, Tree Pruning, equipment and roof clearance productivity against a target hourly rate

Quote Health

Every service graded before you send it

Mow Quote scores each service on the quote against your target hourly rate and gives it a grade: healthy, needs review, or below target.
You see the grade while you are still building the quote, not after you have done the work.

  • A health grade on every service - healthy, needs review, or below target
  • Identify whether price, estimated time, or job logistics create the gap
  • Compare the required price with the time supported by the current price
  • Review the source settings without automatically changing the quote

Business costs & assets

Turn recurring expenses and equipment ownership into practical hourly costs

Record the costs that keep the business running, then let Mow Quote convert them into annual overhead recovery and asset running rates.

  • Enter rent, insurance, advertising, administration, utilities, and your own custom recurring costs
  • Record vehicle and equipment ownership, maintenance, fuel, electricity, and running costs
  • Keep asset servicing separate from general overheads to avoid double-counting
  • See annual fleet cost and the overhead amount to recover through billable work
  • Free accounts keep business-cost records on this device; eligible paid accounts can sync them between devices

What your setup costs to run

Price the labour and equipment that actually does the job, even when that is just you

Set up how you work and allocate the vehicles and equipment you use.
The app calls these cost teams, and a solo round is simply a team of one - most people only ever set up Solo.

  • Start with just yourself and one hourly cost, or add named staff later
  • Register differently priced vehicles, mowers, battery tools, and other equipment as separate assets
  • Assign the quantity of each asset you take to a job
  • See the combined labour, vehicle, and equipment cost per hour

Your real minimum charge

Set a practical floor from what the job actually costs you, even if that is you and a ute

Mow Quote combines your labour, vehicle, and equipment costs with unbilled time, overhead recovery, and your profit goal, and tells you the least the job can be worth doing for.

  • Works from a solo setup, and compares a second person later without rebuilding it
  • Uses the specific vehicles and equipment you actually take
  • Review travel, loading, work time, allocated equipment, and overhead costs
  • Include return travel, unbilled labour recovery, profit, and GST settings
  • Carry the same cost basis into travel guidance and the quote-summary minimum-charge check

Scheduling

See each day's workload before it fills up

Built in Australia

We mowed lawns.
Then we built this.

Mow Quote comes from Cerberus Software Australia - a Perth team that runs real lawn and garden jobs and builds software for the same work.

We quote between visits, juggle weather, and still aim to be home for dinner.
Every feature here exists because we needed it on the job - not because it looked good in a slide deck.

Mow Quote FAQ

Questions lawn care businesses ask

Everything you need to know before you start quoting, measuring and scheduling jobs with Mow Quote.

What is Mow Quote?

Mow Quote is the complete operating platform for lawn care, gardening, spraying, turf and landscaping businesses. It combines specialist estimating and Quote Health with CRM, secure quote approval, scheduling, job and team management, chemical records, performance insights and exports in one connected app.

How is Mow Quote different from a pricing calculator or a generic field service CRM?

It does both jobs in one app, on the phone at the property.
Mow Quote forecasts job time from your calibrated mower and task productivity rates, prices the work from the real cost of the crew and equipment doing it, and checks every quote against your target hourly rate before you send it.
The same app then carries accepted work through scheduling, crews, completion, invoicing and profitability reporting, so the pricing detail is not stranded in a separate calculator.

Is Mow Quote too much if I work on my own?

No.
A one-person round is the core user, not an edge case.
The free tools, the free Starter account and the Basic plan are all built for someone working alone, and you quote from your phone at the property rather than back at a desk. Crews, worker logins and shared calendars sit on the Professional plan and are entirely optional, so you never meet them if you work solo.
There is no per-seat cost, no minimum team size and no setup process before you can quote.

Will I outgrow Mow Quote, or have to switch later?

No.
The same app covers day one with no account, a busy solo round, and a first hire running a second crew.
Moving up is a plan change, not a migration: your clients, quotes, job history, pricing settings and spray records carry straight across, with no export and re-import and nothing deleted. The plan names - Starter, Growing, Team - are stages of the same business, not different products for different customers.

Does Mow Quote estimate how long a job will take?

Yes. Mowing time is calculated from cutting width, your overlap setting, walking speed, bagging and a real-world efficiency factor for turning and obstacle work. Other tasks use productivity rates you set and tune, including weeding area per hour, hedge metres per hour by hedge type, per-tree minutes with access modifiers, brush cutting, and mulch spreading with pickup trips. Setup and pack-down time, a contingency percentage and booking rounding are applied on top, and each estimate reports its confidence rather than inventing a missing rate.

How does Mow Quote work out a minimum charge?

From your real costs, not a rule of thumb. Build an asset register of the vehicles and equipment you use, group staff and assets into cost teams, then let Mow Quote combine that team cost with return travel, overhead recovery, unbilled owner and team time, your profit goal and GST settings. The same team-cost basis flows into travel guidance and the minimum-charge check on the quote summary.

Which accounting software does Mow Quote connect to?

Intuit QuickBooks Online, Xero and FreshBooks. Connect an account, choose where new invoices are sent, and sync customers and invoices securely. You can also export jobs to CSV and invoices to PDF, and store documents in Google Drive.

Can Mow Quote measure a lawn from satellite imagery?

Yes. Plot the property boundary over satellite imagery, then exclude driveways, garden beds, pools, sheds and other non-lawn areas to calculate the lawn area for your quote.

Can I create professional lawn mowing quotes?

Yes. Build quotes for mowing, gardening, turf, renovations, spraying and more. Use your own pricing, hourly rates, minimum charges and service details, then create a professional PDF to send to the customer.

Does Mow Quote schedule recurring lawn care jobs?

Yes. Free Starter includes recurring schedules, preferred service days, travel buffers and basic conflict checking. Paid plans add saved-quote booking and longer scheduling reach, while Professional adds worker assignment and combined calendars.

Is Mow Quote built for Australian lawn care businesses?

Yes.
Mow Quote was built in Perth by people who run lawn and garden jobs.
It is designed for the practical work of quoting, scheduling and managing a lawn care business, whether you work solo or with a team. It also travels: switch between metric and imperial units, label quote documents Quote or Estimate, and rename GST to Sales Tax or VAT in settings.
