“$40 for the mow” is a guess, not a price.
Mow-and-go pricing races to the bottom because most of the number is guesswork — eyeball the lot from the curb, blurt out a figure close to what the last house paid. That guess doesn’t hold up once the lot is a half-acre instead of a quarter, or the spring cleanup turns into a full day instead of an afternoon. A book built around real size buckets — by the quarter acre, the cubic yard of mulch, the thousand square feet of lawn — replaces the guess with a number you can defend to the customer standing next to you.
Lawn and landscaping mostly gets left out of the big flat-rate pricing tools, which are built around HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service calls. ServiceTitan’s price book sits behind a sales demo and costs roughly $245+ per tech monthly. Profit Rhino is cheaper up front at $39–59 a tech monthly, but its Pro tier adds a separate $1,499 “Success Coaching & Implementation” package most one-truck operations skip entirely.

QuoteIron’s 50 lawn and landscaping templates don’t tell you what a spring cleanup is “worth” in your market. Each one carries a typical labor-hour range and a materials cost — mulch, sod, seed — as structure only. Your labor rate and markup do the actual pricing, and the whole book reprices the moment you change either one.
The book, one row at a time.
This is what a flat-rate price book for lawn & landscaping actually looks like — a row per service, typical hours, what’s included, and a price. These nine come straight from the QuoteIron lawn-and-landscaping catalog.
These prices are examples. Every row below is priced at a sample rate of $95/hr labor + 30% materials markup, rounded to $5 — the book-builder’s defaults, not market rates. In the builder you set your own three numbers and every row reprices in one second. Some folks call it lawn care flat rate pricing; others want a landscaping price list template. Same thing — a book of firm prices, built off your own numbers, that you own outright.

Templates carry structure — typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing; every number is editable in the builder and the app.
Three numbers.
Your whole book prices itself.
Pick the trade

Your labor rate, your materials markup, your rounding. The sample reprices in one second. The example rows here use $95/hr and 30% — swap in yours and watch every price change.
Print it or quote it
Print the sample as a paper book for the truck, or open the QuoteIron app to quote a live lawn job in about 90 seconds — then turn the quote into an invoice with one tap.
Not your trade? Pick it.
Every trade below has its own flat-rate book in QuoteIron — real residential jobs, priced from your numbers. There’s also the multi-trade book builder and the main QuoteIron page.
Fair questions.
Can I edit every price?
Yes — every number. The 50 lawn landscaping templates carry structure only: typical hours and mid-grade parts cost. Your rate and markup do the pricing, and you can override any single row. QuoteIron never ships “market prices” it can’t stand behind.
Does it work offline?
The book-builder runs right in your browser. The full QuoteIron app installs to your phone’s home screen and works with no signal at all — the far corner of a five-acre property, a truck with no bars. It’s an app that lives on your phone, not a website that dies with the bars.
What does it cost after the free sample?
The sample book is free, no signup. The full app — the whole 50-job book, editing, 90-second quoting, invoices, e-signatures, and follow-ups — is $14 a month flat, or $140 a year. Fourteen-day trial, no card up front, and you cancel online in one click.
My routes are all different sizes — will one book cover them?
Yes, because the book is built around size buckets — mow-trim-blow priced by the quarter acre, mulch by the cubic yard, fert by the thousand square feet. You pick the bucket that fits the property and the price is set. For anything custom, add a line and price it yourself.
Do I have to build the whole book myself before I can start quoting?
No. Choosing Lawn & Landscaping during onboarding seeds your book with the full 50 lawn and landscaping templates already in it. Set your labor rate, materials markup, and rounding once, and every row prices itself — you add custom lines only for the jobs that don’t fit a template.
Does the book handle pesticide or herbicide applicator licensing?
No. Some fertilizer and weed-control work requires a state pesticide applicator license, and holding that license stays on you. The book prices the labor and product cost structure for the application — it doesn’t handle licensing or compliance.
Your book. Your prices.
Built in about a minute.
Start free — pick the trade, punch in three numbers, and watch the book price itself. No signup for the sample; the full 50-job book, editing, and 90-second quoting live in the $14/mo app.
