Today button
Good Morning everyone Are any of you annoyed that when you hit the Today button on month view - it goes to the beginning of the month not todays date. I regularly have to put information into later parts of the year, when complete I hit Today to return to todays date, unfortunately because I work in month view, it jumps to the beginning of the month. Frustrating because if todays date is 25th of the month I then have to scroll to find it. Therefore it is not today! Apparently if you work in week view, it returns to beginning of week, again this is not Today. Its only in Day view that it will actually take you to today. All I would like is when I click Today, it actually takes you to TODAY!!AI for Contractors: How Home Service Pros Are Using AI in 2026
We just surveyed over 1,000 home service business owners across the U.S. and gathered real-time stats about how they're using AI in their day-to-day operations. The gap between businesses using AI and those that aren’t is starting to show: 88% of businesses who are fully-booked use AI vs 27% of businesses who are still filling their calendars Here's what 52% of the 1,050 home service business owners surveyed say they use AI for: 54% for quoting 52% for invoicing 51% for writing emails and proposals Younger owners are adopting it fastest --> 64% of business owners under 30 already use AI. Curious how this compares to what you're seeing in your own business. Are you currently using AI for quoting, scheduling, or customer communication?

Starting a New Hardscape Division While Busy with Landscape Maintenance Team
How do you actually start a new division of your business while still managing day-to-day operations? Between quoting, scheduling, and running jobs, it’s hard to carve out time to build something new. Curious how others have handled this without things falling through the cracks. What worked for you? Context: our "bread and butter" as a landscaping company has been in residential maintenance (lawn cutting, care, property clean-ups, trimming, garden care, softscape / small hardscape installs, etc.). My business partner and I are near max capacity with taking on more residential maintenance clients and would like to get into higher earning, longer term, larger projects on the install / design side of landscaping.Editing a job from the schedule section?
Maybe I am missing a button somewhere but... Is there a way to edit a job (add a product or service, change unit prices) from the schedule menu? A client calls before I am at the job and wants to add a certain service to the job booking, so I click on the job from the schedule menu and all I can change is the quantity, service date/time or Job Title. Even when I click Edit or View Details I still can't change any of that information. Does anyone have a work around rather than having to click out of the schedule and go into the Jobs section?How do home service businesses fill their calendar before busy season?
When work slows down, most service businesses feel it fast: stress, cash flow pressure, and last-minute scrambling. Sound familiar? What’s the one thing you rely on most before busy season to keep your calendar full? New leads Repeat customers Referrals Deposits or upfront payments Booking weeks in advance Something else? (do tell!) Bonus: What used to stress you out about slow periods that doesn’t anymore?
Map and Routing
Brief: Is there a way to see all client properties (active and inactive) overlaid with active work properties? Context: It would be nice to have the ability to see all properties (including inactive jobs or just customers in the area) in the vicinity of an active job when scheduling. This could create opportunities for inspections, follow-ups, upsells, and general efficiency for our business. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Ideally, it would be similar to the toggle for "unscheduled jobs" so there is still the ability to have a clean view of what work is pressing. Preferably color coded and available on the mobile app. Any advice would be appreciated! Alternatively, is there a way to see all clients (active and inactive) by a geographic scope (county, municipality, by tag, etc.)? *I am aware that this view exists in part under route optimization under settings but without the ability to see active jobs.
How can lawn care businesses manage seasonal recurring work and annual rescheduling?
I do lawn care. it is seasonal. i come back every year, unless requested not to. i am requesting a way to group customers in that way. meaning, that the service goes from EX: march 15-oct 31. at oct 31, the job ends but on march 15th it repopulates. (if you seen my other post property based pricing, any price increases, they should carry over to that job). for me i have basically 2 types of seasons. i do weekly until oct 15th basically, and then go every other week till thanksgiving. I came from yard book and basically built the job added one to the weekly group and then made one more to the biweekly for the fall. I never had to recreate the job it was automatic. nice for seasonal services. also for scheduling, please let us just pick a date and not have a recurring job go for x weeks months days or whatever. its a pain.
