5Everything You Need
Forget clunky desktop software and paper job cards. OneBookPlus is the landscaping business app designed for crews who spend their days on-site — not behind a desk.
Build itemised quotes for exposed aggregate paving, retaining walls, turf, mulch and decking — all priced per m² or linear metre. Customers tap to accept and the job drops straight into your schedule.
Set weekly or fortnightly mowing rounds and hedge-trim cycles once — OneBookPlus auto-schedules every visit and auto-invoices the customer the moment the job is marked complete.
Snap before-photos on-site and attach them to the quote with one tap. Customers see exactly which patch of lawn, which retaining wall, and which paver pattern they're paying for — fewer disputes, faster sign-off.
Every invoice automatically calculates 10% GST and displays your ABN. Export GST summaries at BAS time — your accountant will thank you and you'll be done before lunch.
See your entire week across every crew — mowing rounds, retaining wall builds, turf laying, irrigation installs. Drag jobs between crews, balance workloads, and track each job from Quoted through to Invoiced.
Log pavers, retaining-wall blocks, mulch, plants and irrigation parts against each job. Connect supplier accounts so deliveries from the local nursery or landscape yard auto-match to the right project.
Track your 90-day quote conversion rate. See week-over-week revenue trends so you know if your pipeline is growing or tightening before it shows up in the bank account.
Every customer has a full history — every mow, every hedge trim, every retaining wall built. When a returning client calls about lawn maintenance, you already know their property layout, last service date, and preferred day.
Embed a free-quote request form on your website. Prospects pick a site-visit slot, you get the lead in your dashboard, and the address pre-populates the quote — no more lost enquiries on voicemail.

Common questions about invoicing and job management software for landscapers in Australia.
The best landscaping software for an Australian business handles recurring maintenance rounds, per-m² job quoting and GST invoicing in one place — not a job app plus a separate accounting package. ServiceM8 and Tradify are popular tradie field-service apps but still rely on Xero or MYOB for the books and a separate tool for a booking page. OneBookPlus combines recurring mowing rounds with auto-invoicing, per-m² quoting for paving and retaining walls, GST/BAS-ready invoicing, CRM and a free booking page from $0/month, so you compare the all-in monthly cost rather than just the job-app price.
Yes — if you've searched for apps like ServiceM8 or a Tradify alternative, OneBookPlus is worth comparing for a landscaping or lawn-care business. ServiceM8 and Tradify are solid, established field-service apps and many landscapers use them happily. The difference is OneBookPlus bundles recurring-round scheduling, auto-invoicing, per-m² quoting, GST accounting and a booking page into one subscription that starts free — so most landscapers replace two or three tools, not just the job app.
Yes — our free plan includes unlimited invoices, quotes, and up to 5 clients. Perfect for sole-trader gardeners and lawn-care startups. Upgrade anytime as your landscaping business grows beyond a small round.
Absolutely. Set a mowing round to repeat weekly or fortnightly and OneBookPlus auto-creates each visit on the schedule and auto-invoices the customer the moment a crew marks the job complete. Set it once, get paid forever.
Yes. Build line items priced per m² for exposed aggregate paving, retaining walls, turf or mulch — or per linear metre for edging and irrigation runs. The quote calculates totals and 10% GST automatically.
Every invoice automatically calculates 10% GST, displays your ABN, and meets ATO requirements. At BAS time, export a GST collected and GST paid summary in one click. Bunnings and Husqvarna purchases are categorised as materials expenses automatically via bank feeds.
Yes. Snap before-photos on-site and attach them to the quote with one tap so customers see exactly which patch of lawn, garden bed or paving area is being priced. After completion, attach after-photos to the invoice — great for repeat work and word-of-mouth.
Yes. For jobs near protected or significant trees, attach the arborist report, TPZ (Tree Protection Zone) and SRZ (Structural Root Zone) calculations, and on-site photos of trunk protection, ground protection and root-zone fencing to the job record. Everything stays linked to the job so you can hand a council inspector or the project arborist an AS 4970–compliant record without digging through your phone.
About the author
Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus
Bishal has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and small business consulting across Australia. He has worked directly with Australian landscaping businesses — sole-trader gardeners, design-build crews, lawn-care companies — helping them streamline quoting, recurring billing, and crew scheduling.
Running a landscaping business in Australia means juggling more admin than most landscapers signed up for. You're quoting retaining walls and turf jobs from the ute, marking off mowing rounds on a clipboard, and then coming home to reconcile ServiceM8 jobs against Xero invoices and chase a half-dozen overdue maintenance accounts. Many landscapers pay $49/month for ServiceM8, $35/month for Xero, and another $12–27/month for a booking page and CRM — yet none of these tools were designed to work together. You end up double-entering jobs, losing supplier dockets between the ute and the home office, and burning Saturday mornings on BAS prep instead of family time.
OneBookPlus replaces that patchwork with one platform built for how Australian landscapers actually work. Build per-m² quotes for paving, retaining walls and turf right from your phone with before-photos attached. Set recurring mowing rounds once and let the platform auto-schedule and auto-invoice every fortnight forever. Convert accepted quotes to GST-compliant invoices with a single tap — your ABN printed on every document. Track plants, pavers and irrigation parts against each job so you know your true margin per project. And when BAS time rolls around, your GST summary is already waiting.
It's 6:30am and your phone buzzes — a free-quote enquiry through your OneBookPlus booking page. Backyard makeover in Bulimba: turf, retaining wall, irrigation. You flag the lead and head out for the morning mowing round. Eight fortnightly clients knocked over by 11am, every one auto-invoiced as the crew marks them complete. Lunch on the go, then site visit at the Bulimba job: walk the yard, measure up, snap before-photos, and build a per-m² quote on your phone — 28m² of buffalo turf, 12m of retaining wall at 600mm high, 4-station drip irrigation system. The customer accepts on the spot. Job lands in next week's schedule across two crews. Your apprentice can already see his Thursday assignments on his own device.
Connect your business bank account via CDR Open Banking and OneBookPlus pulls in transactions daily. When a fortnightly maintenance customer pays their auto-generated invoice, the payment is automatically matched against the outstanding amount — no manual reconciliation needed. Purchases from Bunnings, Husqvarna, your local landscape yard, or the diesel station are categorised automatically: pavers and plants go to materials, mower fuel to vehicle expenses, hedge-trimmer purchases to assets. Our AI categorisation engine learns your patterns over the first month so the right line items end up on the right BAS section. Come quarter-end, your GST collected on sales and GST paid on purchases are already tallied. Export the summary in one click and forward it to your accountant — or lodge it yourself in minutes.
Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Landscaper” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with landscaping service categories (mowing, hedge trim, paving, retaining walls, turf, irrigation), per-m² pricing templates, and invoice layouts that include your ABN. Import your customer list via CSV from ServiceM8, Tradify, or a spreadsheet of recurring maintenance clients. Connect your bank account through the secure Open Banking flow. Most landscapers have their first quote sent within 30 minutes of signing up, and their fortnightly mowing round auto-billing by the end of the first week. The switch from ServiceM8 and Xero typically takes a single evening on the couch.

Who it's for
Whether you're a sole-trader gardener or running multiple crews, OneBookPlus adapts to how landscapers work.
Running mowing rounds and small garden tidy-ups solo, quoting from the ute, invoicing between properties. Needs fast mobile invoicing, automatic GST, and recurring maintenance auto-billing.
Larger design-build projects — paving, retaining walls, water features, full backyard transformations. Needs detailed per-m² quoting, photo-rich proposals, and project tracking from concept to handover.
Managing 2-5 crews across the city, balancing maintenance rounds and build jobs. Needs job scheduling, crew assignment, week view, and quote-win-rate reporting to keep the pipeline healthy.
Pure mowing, edging and hedge work — high-volume recurring rounds. Needs auto-scheduled fortnightly visits, auto-invoicing on completion, and tight client retention through a clean CRM history.
Stop overpaying
Most small businesses stitch together 4-6 tools that don't talk to each other. Here's what that typically costs.

Real-world scenario
How a Brisbane landscaper uses OneBookPlus on a typical Wednesday
Steve starts his Wednesday checking the week view — a fortnightly mowing round through Bulimba and Hawthorne in the morning, a retaining wall build in Indooroopilly that started Monday, and an irrigation install consultation in Sherwood at 3pm. His crew of two is already on the retaining wall, materials delivered from the local landscape yard yesterday.
The mowing round runs itself. Eight properties, all repeat clients on fortnightly schedules. As Steve marks each job complete on his phone, OneBookPlus auto-generates the invoice and emails it to the customer. By 11am he's billed $640 without writing a single invoice.
At the Indooroopilly site, the crew sends Steve a question about block heights. He swings by, snaps progress photos, and logs another pallet of retaining-wall blocks against the job from the supplier delivery docket. Materials reconciled, photos in the customer file.
The Sherwood irrigation consult goes well — Steve walks the backyard, measures up, and builds a quote on his phone: 35m of dripline, three solenoid stations, controller, install labour. Per-metre line items, GST calculated, before-photos attached. The customer accepts that evening from her phone.
End of day: 9 jobs completed, $1,180 invoiced, two payments already in the bank. Bunnings receipt for fittings snapped and logged. Steve's dashboard shows quote win rate at 68% — up from last quarter. Come BAS time, his GST summary exports in one click.
