How do I quote recurring lawn services professionally?

One document: the per-visit price and frequency for recurring work, one-time lines (cleanup, mulch, aeration) as separately acceptable options, and terms covering skips, rain days, and cancellation.

Should mowing customers sign something?

Yes — a signed estimate with service terms (frequency, per-visit price, skip policy, cancellation notice) turns a handshake route into a business. E-signature makes it painless at the curb.

Can FieldSquire handle per-visit pricing?

Quote the per-visit rate and frequency as the line description with your saved rates; one-time projects ride the same estimate as their own lines, each at learned prices.

A Lawn Care Quote App That Treats the Route Like a Business

The handshake route — "forty a cut, see you Thursdays" — works until it doesn't: the skip-week argument, the surprise cancellation in July, the neighbor who heard a different price. A recurring-services quote app puts the season in writing at the curb, without slowing you down.

One estimate, whole relationship

The recurring line: weekly (or bi-weekly) service — mow, trim, edge, blow — at your per-visit price, frequency stated.
One-time options: spring cleanup, mulch, aeration/overseed, bush trimming — each its own line the customer can take or leave. Options attached to a mowing quote sell themselves all season.
Terms that prevent the arguments: rain-day policy, skip requests and their price effect, leaf-season surcharges, cancellation notice. Written once, shipped on every quote.

Why the signature matters on small numbers

A $55 cut doesn't feel like contract territory — until you're owed three of them, or the customer swears you promised bagging. The e-signed estimate is friction-free for the homeowner and turns your receivables and scope from memory into record. Deposits for big one-time add-ons ride the same document.

Curb speed, book quality

Narrate the property, review drafted lines at your saved rates, send, and the signature often lands before dinner. Every accepted option is scope you didn't have to sell twice; every written term is an August argument you skip. The lawn care estimating app is free for 14 days, no credit card — put one week of new inquiries through it.
