Landscaping

Built for the routes, the seasons, and the design-builds.

From the weekly maintenance route to the six-month design-build project, Reactor is configured around the many shapes a landscaping business takes — the density, the seasonality, the long sales cycles on bigger work.

The reality

Landscaping is many businesses at once. Most software handles one of them.

Routes that don't optimize themselves

Recurring maintenance lives or dies on route density. When the schedule is built in someone's head, every new account makes it worse, not better.

Design-build leads that go cold

A backyard renovation lead is worth $30,000. It also takes weeks of follow-up, drawings, and revisions. Without structure, the slow leads die in the inbox.

Weather and crew chaos

Rain pushes the route. A crew is short. Customers wonder where their team is. Without a system, the owner spends the morning on the phone managing the day.

Seasonal upsells that get missed

Mulch, aeration, irrigation startup, holiday lighting, fall cleanup — the recurring revenue is hiding in the calendar. Without prompts, it stays hidden.

The fit

Configured around how landscaping actually works.

Reactor for landscaping handles route-based recurring work, seasonal campaigns, and full design-build projects in the same system — so the recurring revenue compounds, the bigger projects don't slip, and the crew always knows where to be.

  • Route-based maintenance scheduling with density optimization, weather-aware rescheduling, and proactive customer notifications.
  • Design-build pipeline tuned to landscaping — multi-revision proposals, deposit collection, project milestone tracking from sale to completion.
  • Crew dispatch and time tracking with location-aware customer updates, so the customer always knows where their team is.
  • Seasonal service campaigns triggered by zone and history — mulch in spring, aeration in fall, holiday lighting in November, with one-click conversion.
  • Property profiles per address — service history, plant inventory, irrigation zones, gate codes, dog warnings — surfaced to the crew on arrival.
  • Member-only programs and prepay plans with automated billing, renewal workflows, and exclusive customer communication channels.
A day in the life

From the route sheet Monday to the renewal in November.

What it actually looks like to run a landscaping business on Reactor — routes tightened, enhancements offered in season, renewals worked on a real cadence.

  1. Lead lands in the right pipeline

    A maintenance lead and a design-build lead are not the same conversation. Reactor routes each to the correct pipeline with its own qualifying questions, response time, and sales cadence.

  2. Estimate built around the property

    Property size, gate codes, slope, and prior-year notes are pulled into the estimate. Crews don't show up to surprises — and recurring contracts get priced against the actual labor history, not a guess.

  3. Routes built for density, not hope

    Reactor groups jobs by zip and zone so route density compounds instead of erodes. Drive-time and fuel costs get pulled out of the gross margin instead of hiding inside it.

  4. Weather-aware rescheduling

    Rain on Tuesday triggers an automated reshuffle — customers get notified, crews get the new sheet, and the lost day gets recovered Friday or Saturday without a dispatcher rebuilding the week by hand.

  5. Enhancements offered in season

    Pre-emergent in spring, mulch refresh in May, leaf cleanup in fall, holiday lighting in November. Each enhancement is offered to the right customers at the right week — not blasted to everyone in May.

  6. Renewal season runs itself

    Annual contract renewals get worked on a defined cadence with price adjustments, scope changes, and prior-year service history surfaced for every conversation. Retention stops depending on the owner remembering.

What changes

What actually moves when Reactor is in place.

Tighter

Route density

Jobs grouped by zone instead of scheduled in arrival order — fewer windshield hours, better gross margin per crew day.

+20–35%

Enhancement revenue

Seasonal enhancements offered to the right customers at the right week typically lift per-customer revenue by a third over a full year.

>90%

Renewal rate

Annual contracts get worked on a real cadence — renewal becomes a process, not a hope, and retention compounds year over year.

Recovered

Rain days

Weather-driven rescheduling happens in minutes, not hours, so lost days actually get made up instead of quietly disappearing from the week.

Common questions

The questions landscaping operators ask first.

Does this replace LMN, Aspire, or Jobber?
Usually no. Reactor sits in front of your operations system as the customer-facing layer — capture, sales, contract renewals, enhancements, communication. We integrate so crews keep using the route and time-tracking tools they already know.
We do maintenance and design-build. Will one system handle both?
Yes — that's the configuration. Maintenance runs on a recurring contract pipeline with renewal cadence; design-build runs on a project pipeline with proposal stages, deposits, and milestone billing. One customer record, two workflows.
What about snow?
Snow operations get their own seasonal pipeline with per-event dispatch, salt tracking, and customer notifications. Annual snow contracts roll into the same renewal engine the rest of the book uses.
Will this help with commercial property managers?
Yes — commercial accounts get account-based reporting, multi-property contracts, and the kind of monthly service summary property managers actually want. It's a real differentiator at renewal time.
