Formula & methodology

How Landscaping Work Orders Keep Crews Profitable

Landscaping jobs combine bulk materials (measured by cubic yard, ton, or pallet) with multi-person crew hours. Tracking both on a single work order prevents unbilled material runs:

Bulk Material Cost = Cubic Yards / Pallets × Delivered Unit Price
Crew Labor Cost = Crew Hours On-Site × Combined Crew Hourly Rate
Total Job Estimate = Materials + Crew Labor − Recurring Discount + Tax

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a landscaping work order?

A landscaping work order outlines the outdoor maintenance or installation tasks to be performed on a property, including plant and bulk materials, crew hours, equipment required, and total cost.

What materials should be listed on a landscaping work order?

Include mulch, pine straw, topsoil, river rock, sod, trees/shrubs, fertilizer, weed fabric, and irrigation heads or piping, along with delivery or green-waste disposal fees.

How do landscaping companies bill crew labor?

You can bill either per man-hour (e.g., 3 crew members × 4 hours = 12 man-hours at $45/hr) or per crew-hour (e.g., 4 hours with a 3-person crew at $135/hr).
