The address is not the treatment boundary
A client may expect the back lawn while the estimate covers only the front. Describe the accepted areas and exclusions clearly rather than relying on the property address to define the work.
Software for lawn aeration business owners
Get the agreed lawn area and the crew's visit together.
A front lawn, a narrow side gate and a separately approved overseeding service shape an aeration visit. Keep the business scope and access arrangements clear, record the work you complete and prepare an invoice that reflects what the client accepted.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Access can determine whether equipment reaches the area
Gate width, steps and parking affect preparation. Capture the practical details during your assessment so the crew is not discovering them while unloading the aerator.
Weather can undo a tightly packed day
Site conditions may mean a visit needs to move. Make the decision using your professional judgment, then review the day's arrangements and confirm changes directly with each affected client.

Explore this featureA day in the life
From the first quote to paid.
Clarify the area before confirming the quote
Measure through your own process and identify accepted lawn sections. Discuss access and client preparation, following your established site-safety procedures for hazards and underground services.
Review the day's workable visits
Assess conditions using qualified judgment and check the appointments you have arranged. Contact clients directly if a move is needed and update the schedule to match the new agreement.
Keep an add-on explicit
If a client requests overseeding or another area, discuss the scope and price before proceeding. Update the work record and invoice items after agreement, then enter time and costs.
Reconcile the visit's business record
Check what was completed against the estimate and your own field records. Share the final invoice PDF and enter any payment received outside Microtra.

Questions from lawn aeration business owners.
Can Microtra measure a lawn from an aerial image?
It does not provide aerial measurement or calculate treatment areas from maps. Measure with suitable tools and enter the accepted quantities in the estimate.
Will the app decide whether conditions suit aeration?
It does not assess soil conditions, prescribe lawn treatment or identify buried hazards. Use appropriate professional judgment and field procedures before confirming work.
How do I add lawn site records?
Other begins with Job and Client and linked records off. Enable linked records in Modules & terms if separate property context would help organize repeat work.
Can it optimize the aeration route?
Route optimization is not available. Plan travel and job order yourself, then record the appointments and assigned staff for the visits you confirm.
