Setting up rounds for lawn applications

Hello All,  Jim from Paramount Turf Company here.  I am 50 days in with Jobber and preparing for a new service line we offer at PTC with lawn applications starting in 2025.  With that said, I have experience with other software companies when it comes to setting up a multiple round application program but was curious how you all do it within Jobber.  Jobber client service team has been great with their one-on-one consultations and have been super helpful but would like to talk to someone in my industry in how you all set up your multiple rounds and how you schedule it.  Would love to connect with some of you if you would be willing to talk some shop! Thank you in advance!!!

    Hey Jim! Congrats on the new services offering!! I typically set them up as a recurring job if they are on a monthly PHC plan. Otherwise, it's all one-off jobs.  Glad you enjoyed working with the Jobber team -  they are truly the best!!! Let me know if you have any other questions!!!

      Thank you bedellmgmt

      I am in the early stages at setting up my foundation 5 step lawn program... I have the principles in place just need to select and price out my products. 

      So I am assuming you have a "lawn care package" for your clients, set to reoccurring and then once you do the first round it immediately cues up round 2?  With reoccurring I know you can set the weekly interval so it will work for my first 3 rounds but going into round 4 and round 5 they maybe be further apart then a set 2-4 week interval (basically not as critical as first 3 rounds timing). I also plan to set up reoccurring fungicide program but that seems to be easier because I will do that every 4 weeks starting in may.  

      Also when you have a client sign up later in the year (lets say I start them with round 3) do you set them up for your "lawn program" and then just skip first two services? 

      Thank you for letting me reach back out to you!
