Sound Familiar?

It's Wednesday and you have 18 lawns on today's route. Yard #5 wants a mulch estimate while you're mowing. Yard #11 has a dog out so you skip it and need to reschedule. Your trimmer line ran out and you're making an unplanned supply run. By 6pm you've mowed 16 yards, skipped 2, quoted 1 mulch job, and haven't invoiced your biweekly clients who were due last Friday. LMN wants $50/month and you still can't figure out the estimating module.

Why Landscapers Are Fed Up

"$69/month for features designed for plumbers, not lawn guys. I mow yards — I don't need 'client communication pipelines.'"
— Common landscaper complaint about Jobber
"Zero understanding of route-based service businesses. Can't manage recurring weekly schedules."
— Common landscaper complaint about QuickBooks

What This Means for Landscapers

The average landscaper pays Jobber ($69/mo), QuickBooks ($55/mo) — a total of $124/month or $1,488 per year. With SaaS prices rising 11.4% annually (five times general inflation), that stack will cost $4,993 over three years and $9,342 over five. Nexa replaces all of it for $279, paid once. You break even in 2.3 months. After that, every dollar your competitors spend on subscriptions is money you keep. At median landscaper earnings, $1,488/year in software represents 81 hours of work — time spent earning money just to hand it to SaaS companies for tools you never own.

Invoice from the truck: the 90-second close

Finish the job, tap the saved service, add any extras, send. The customer pays from the link before you've left the driveway. The longer an invoice sits, the lower the odds it's paid in full — speed is the collection strategy.

FAQ

Is Nexa actually built for landscapers?

Yes. The invoicing module is designed for landscapers who need to professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus you get scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting — tools most landscapers end up needing anyway. $279 total for everything.

$279 seems expensive upfront. Is it worth it?

$279 spread over 3 years is $7.75/month. You're currently paying $124/month for Jobber + QuickBooks — that's $4,993 over 3 years. Nexa saves you $4,714 over that period. The math isn't close.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I switch from Jobber?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most landscapers are fully switched in 1-2 days. Run both in parallel until you're confident — zero risk.

How does Nexa compare to what other landscapers spend?

The median landscaper earns $38,000/year. Software subscriptions at $1,488/year represent 3.9% of that income — every single year. Nexa at $279 once is 0.73% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most landscapers cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a landscaper actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Commercial mower (zero-turn or stand-on) you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "managing 40-80 recurring weekly mowing accounts" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in 2.3 months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a landscaper who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying $124/month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
