Landscaping has a CRM problem that generic software does not solve: your leads are seasonal, your jobs range from a $60 mow to a $40,000 hardscape, and the money is made or lost in how fast you get an estimate in front of a homeowner. A CRM for a landscaping company has to price leads, chase quotes, and book recurring visits, or it is just a contact list.
The short answer: For most lawn and landscape companies: HoundBell if your leads come through your WordPress website and you want capture-to-payment in one tool from $49 per month. Jobber if you want the most polished quoting flow and can budget $29 to $199 per month. Service Autopilot, LMN, or Aspire when you cross into multi-crew operations that need routing and job costing.
Best landscaping CRM options, compared
| Tool | Price | Best for | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. HoundBell | From $49/monothing metered; 14-day free trial | WordPress-based lawn and landscape companies | No route optimization or crew GPS |
| 2. Jobber | $29 to $49/mofollow-up automation in $99-and-up tiers | Quote-heavy residential work | Per-user pricing climbs with the crew |
| 3. Service Autopilot | Quote-based plans | Larger recurring-route operations | Real onboarding cost and learning curve |
| 4. LMN | Paid plans | Estimating and job costing depth | Built for install margins, not lead capture |
| 5. SingleOps | Paid plans | Tree care and green industry ops | Demo-and-onboarding sales process |
| 6. Aspire | Enterprise pricing | Commercial landscape companies | Enterprise rollout; overkill under seven figures |
1. HoundBell: from estimate request to paid invoice
HoundBell starts where landscaping leads start: the estimate request form on your website. Our landscaping template ships with the fields that matter (property address with a directions link, service dropdown wired to your average job values, a “how soon” urgency question), renders natively in your WordPress theme, and every submission lands on a pipeline board priced and sourced. From there: quotes accepted online, e-sign service agreements for bigger installs, invoices with card payment powered by Stripe, and recurring weekly or biweekly visits on a calendar your website checks before offering times.
Plans start at $49 per month with a 14-day free trial and nothing metered, and the honest limits are the same ones we tell everyone: no route optimization and no crew GPS. If you are running six trucks on tight routes, look at the operations platforms below and keep HoundBell on the sales side.
2. Jobber: the quoting benchmark
For residential landscaping that sells custom work, Jobber’s quote flow with optional line items and online approval is the category benchmark. Core runs $29 to $49 per month for one user; automated follow-ups arrive on higher tiers. Full breakdown in our Jobber vs Housecall Pro comparison.
3. Service Autopilot, 4. LMN, 5. SingleOps, 6. Aspire: the operations heavyweights
These four are operations platforms that include CRM features rather than CRMs. Service Autopilot goes deep on recurring routes and automations. LMN is the estimating and job-costing specialist, strong when margin discipline on installs is the goal. SingleOps has real traction in tree care. Aspire is the enterprise system commercial landscape companies migrate to when they pass a couple of million in revenue. All are demos-and-onboarding products with pricing to match; none of them will make your website capture more leads.
The verdict
Match the tool to the bottleneck. If estimates go out slow and follow-up slips, that is a sales problem: HoundBell (from $49 per month) or Jobber. If routing and job costing across crews is the pain, that is operations: Service Autopilot, LMN, SingleOps, or Aspire. Do not buy an operations platform to fix a follow-up problem.
