What a lawn care company needs, and where it sits in Jobber

Ten yards a day only works if they are close together. Zigzagging across town between yards: that is the problem software has to fix. Jobber lists lawn and landscape among its industries; here is where each thing landscapers rely on sits in its plans.

From Jobber pricing, checked October 8, 2026. A cell names the lowest plan that lists the feature; "Not listed" means we did not see it, so ask. Jobber's pricing page blocks a plain fetch and changes its prices with a team size picker, so we read it in a real browser. The $29 a month per added user is in the note behind each plan's user count. Prices are per month in US dollars and change often, so check the page before you buy.

The Jobber plan a 1 to 3 person lawn care company ends up on

For landscapers, the list that decides the plan is stops sorted by the drive, recurring service plans and measuring from above. On Jobber that lands on Connect because stops sorted by the drive first appears there: $139 a month for one person and $197 for three, on monthly billing. Add $99 a month for seasonal email and text campaigns if you want that too. Each person past the team size you pick is $29 a month.

Measuring from above is not on any Jobber plan card. Ask Jobber how landscapers handle it today.

Add the extras landscapers often want (seasonal email and text campaigns, crew scheduling and customers book online) and Jobber moves you to Plus, $499 a month for one person. For comparison, the same list on Koira is Front Office ($499 a month flat, usage included), with no per-person fee.

Where Jobber is a good fit for landscapers

  • Route optimization, automated client reminders and automatic card payments for recurring work all come in on Connect, which suits landscapers whose week is mostly repeat stops.
  • Core already covers online booking, quotes, invoices and a website for one user at $29 a month billed yearly, which is enough for many solo landscapers.
  • Its mobile app works in Spanish for team members, and it has a 14 day free trial on Grow with no credit card.

Where Koira does it differently for landscapers

Measuring from above. On Jobber: not on its plan table. On every plan, Koira measures a lawn from above for a first number from your price list.

Seasonal email and text campaigns. On Jobber: Marketing Suite add-on, $99 a month, included on Plus. On Grow, seasonal reminders go to past customers who agreed to hear from you.

Crew scheduling. On Jobber: Plus (crew scheduling). On Front Office, each crew sees its own stops and clocks in on the job, with no per-person fee.

What Koira does not doKoira does not do payroll, inventory or a dispatch board for a call center.

Worked example: an 8,000 sq ft Midwest lawn mowed weekly

An 8,000 sq ft Midwest lawn mowed weekly, with fertilizer, weed control, aeration, a cleanup and mulch, on the free lawn care cost calculator, comes to $1,704 to $4,012 (typical $2,880 (US average)).

StepThe math
Mowing8,000 sq ft: $33.00 to $60.50 a visit (typical $46.75) × 26 visits
FertilizerFirst $67 to $343 (typical $223), then 3 × $50 to $150 (typical $100)
Weed control2 × $60 to $120 (typical $93)
Core aeration$100 to $250 (typical $167)
Cleanups1 × $200 to $462 (typical $339)
Mulch needed300 sq ft × 3 in ÷ 324 = 2.8 cubic yards (about 38 2 cu ft bags)

A year of Jobber Connect for one person, at its lowest published rate, is $1,188, about 41% of this one job at the typical price of $2,880. Koira Front Office for a year is $5,988, about 208% of it.

FAQ

Is Jobber good for landscapers?

It can be. Jobber lists lawn and landscape among its industries. For a one to three person lawn care company, the features that decide the plan (stops sorted by the drive, recurring service plans and measuring from above) start on Connect, and measuring from above is not on its plan cards.

On the plan that covers a lawn care company's must-haves, Connect, it is $139 a month for one person on monthly billing, or $99 a month billed yearly, checked October 8, 2026.

What is a good Jobber alternative for a small lawn care company?

Koira is built for one to three person shops. The same must-haves are on Front Office ($499 a month flat, usage included), with no per-person fee and no contract. If you run a bigger office with payroll or inventory needs, Jobber may suit you better.

Does Jobber include seasonal email and text campaigns for landscapers?

On Jobber: Marketing Suite add-on, $99 a month, included on Plus, as its pricing page showed on October 8, 2026. Mulch, cleanups and aeration sell best as a seasonal reminder to customers you already mow. On Koira: Grow.
