This calculator vs. LMN by Granum
Two different shapes: LMN by Granum is an account-based platform for running a landscaping company's whole operation. This page is a free, private worksheet for one recurring stop — whether the price actually clears your production hours, travel, and margin, before you quote it.
What each tool is for
LMN by Granum is business management software built specifically for landscaping and lawn-care companies — not a generic construction or field-service tool. Long known as Landscape Management Network (LMN), it was brought together with SingleOps and Greenius under the shared Granum brand in 2025, while continuing under its own product name. It bundles estimating and budgeting, job costing, crew scheduling and time tracking, and payroll integration, used by a company's office staff and crews together across every property on the book, on an ongoing account. LMN's own site is not reachable from this session to confirm today's specific feature list, plan names, or pricing, so only its well-documented identity and category are stated here: nothing about it is invented, and no dollar figure for it appears on this page.
This calculator does none of that. It does not hold a customer list, schedule a crew across properties, or run payroll. It takes one recurring stop — each service split out with its own quantity and production rate (turf mowing, edging and blowing, bed weeding, hedge trim, leaf cleanup), visits per week, service weeks per year, round-trip travel time, loaded labor, fuel, dump, overhead, and the margin you intend to keep — and turns that into the price per visit, the in-season monthly, an honest annual at the growing-season week count rather than monthly × 12, the effective hourly rate, and the walk-away price below which the stop loses money, plus a printable customer proposal with scope, deposit split, and a signature line. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type.
| What you are trying to do | Where to do it |
|---|---|
| Price one recurring lawn-care stop correctly — turf, beds, edging, and windshield time each counted at their own rate. | This calculator — free, instant, private, no account. |
| Run estimates, job costing, and crew scheduling across an entire book of properties from one shared account. | LMN, or a comparable landscape business platform — running the whole operation is not something this calculator does. |
| Understand why a price-per-acre rule misses beds and drive time. | This calculator's own pricing walkthrough. |
| Have office staff, a sales rep, and crews working the same customer records and schedule together. | LMN — built as an ongoing, account-based platform for exactly that job. |
| Run payroll or track time punches across a crew. | LMN, or dedicated payroll software — this calculator has no time-clock or payroll feature. |
| Do I need to create an account or sign up to use the tool? | This calculator: no. LMN is used through a paid, account-based subscription. |
Most landscaping operations get different value from each: LMN (or a comparable platform) for running the company's whole estimating, scheduling, and job-costing operation as an ongoing account, and a private calculator like this one for an instant, no-login check on whether one stop's price actually clears cost and margin before the bid goes out. This page's own figures are a pricing model, not a customer record, a schedule, or a payroll entry.
This tool needs no account and no sign-in: it is a static page, the arithmetic runs in your browser, and once it has loaded it keeps working with the connection off.
Common questions
Should I use this calculator or LMN by Granum?
They do different jobs. LMN by Granum — the software long known as Landscape Management Network, brought under the Granum brand alongside SingleOps and Greenius in 2025 — is business management software built specifically for landscaping and lawn-care companies: estimating and budgeting, job costing, crew scheduling and time tracking, and payroll integration, used by office staff and crews together across every property the company services, on an ongoing account. This calculator does none of that. It takes one recurring stop — each service's quantity and production rate (turf, edging, beds, hedges, leaf cleanup), visits per week, service weeks per year, round-trip travel, loaded labor, fuel, dump, overhead and target margin — and turns that into the price per visit, the in-season monthly, an honest annual at the growing-season week count, the effective hourly rate, and the walk-away number below which the stop loses money, plus a printable customer proposal. It runs free in any browser, keeps no account, and uploads nothing you type. A landscaping company running estimates, crews, and job costing across its whole book of properties is better served by LMN or a comparable platform; an operator who wants an instant, private price for one stop before it is quoted is in the right place here.
