Why is NextMinute a good fit for Aussie landscapers?

NextMinute gives landscapers everything needed to run jobs from start to finish in one place, including quoting, planning, timesheets, scheduling, invoicing and live cost tracking. You can map out stages with a Gantt chart, track time and materials as you go, and see how each job is tracking financially in real time.

Can NextMinute help with landscaping quoting and invoicing?

Yes. You can load supplier price lists, add materials and labour, and send professional quotes quickly. Once approved, you can turn the quote into a job, track costs along the way, and generate invoices faster because the job data is already there.

What makes NextMinute different from other job management tools?

NextMinute is built for bigger, more complex projects with stages, crews and moving parts. It helps you plan the full job, keep the team aligned, track time and costs as you go, and see actuals versus the quote in real time.

What does it cost to get started?

There are pricing options to suit different team sizes. If you want a hand choosing the right fit, chat with the team and they can guide you to the best plan.

"Man the most important thing for me is being able to just ring someone to get the support when I don’t know how to do something in the programme. I’ve come from a major pm software called which is offshore and received very limited support. Ryan and the guys have been wicked to say the least. If you need a decent construction based software look no further you won’t look back."

Common Questions

We’ve answered the ones we hear most from landscapers.

Why is NextMinute the best job management software for Aussie landscapers?

NextMinute is a strong fit for Aussie landscapers because it brings your quotes, scheduling, timesheets, invoicing, and cost tracking into one place, with integrations for Xero and MYOB. It is easy for the crew to use on site, while the office gets a clear view of job progress and profitability. That means less admin, fewer missed costs, and a better handle on margin across every job.

Why does NextMinute suit landscaping businesses better than general tradie apps?

Residential landscaping jobs usually run longer and have more moving parts than quick service work. You are managing excavation, prep, paving, drainage, planting, and finish work in stages, so you need proper planning, clear site updates, and a way to stay on top of costs as the job moves along. NextMinute suits that style of work because it helps you keep the crew aligned and the office across the detail from start to finish.

How much does NextMinute cost for a landscaping business?

NextMinute starts from $199 a month, with a minimum of 3 users. For most landscaping businesses, the bigger question is what messy job admin, missed variations, and poor cost tracking are already costing you. If the software helps you save time, tighten up invoicing, and protect margin, it usually pays for itself pretty quickly. You can also start with a free trial.

What are the key features of NextMinute for landscapers?

The big value is having the core tools in one place: quoting, scheduling, timesheets, invoicing, and back-costing. For landscapers, that means less jumping between apps and spreadsheets, and a much clearer view of what is happening on each job. It keeps the office and the crew working from the same set of info.

What does the workflow look like from quote to invoice?

It starts with a quote, which the client can accept with a single click. From there, you turn it into a job, plan the stages in the Gantt chart, and assign work to the crew. On site, the team can log time, expenses, photos, and job notes in the mobile app. If the scope changes, you log a variation, then invoice the client with a much cleaner paper trail and get paid faster.

Does NextMinute have a mobile app for landscaping crews?

Yes. The NextMinute mobile app works on both iPhone and Android, so your crew can use it on site to log time, add photos, write notes, and keep job info up to date. That gives the office better visibility without having to chase people for updates at the end of the day.

Will my crew actually use NextMinute on site?

Yes. NextMinute is easy for crews to pick up, and the mobile app gives them the main things they need on site without making the process painful. They can log time, photos, notes, materials, and updates as they go, which means less paperwork later and fewer calls back to the office. That usually makes adoption much smoother.

Can NextMinute help as my landscaping business grows?

Yes. As you add more crew, more jobs, and more admin, it gets harder to keep everything organised with spreadsheets and phone calls. NextMinute gives you a better handle on scheduling, job progress, costs, and invoicing, so the business can grow without the back end turning into chaos.

How does NextMinute help with landscaping variations?

Variations are a big deal in landscaping because jobs often change once work starts. Extra planting, upgraded materials, added drainage, or layout changes can all eat into margin if they are not tracked properly. NextMinute helps you manage those changes clearly alongside the quote, job, and invoice, so the office, crew, and client stay aligned and you are less likely to miss revenue.

How does back-costing help landscapers win more profitable work?

Back-costing helps you compare what you quoted against what the job actually cost in labour, materials, and time. For landscapers, that matters because small misses on a few jobs can chew through margin fast. When you can see where jobs ran over, you can tighten up future quotes and make better decisions on pricing.
