The everyday details

You know the work.
The admin adds up.

The same lawn can mean a different job

Routine mowing and the first cut after weeks of growth are different commitments. If the scope lives in a quick conversation, cleanup and bagging can become disputed extras.

Rain pushes several visits into the same gap

A lost morning can unsettle the rest of the week. You need to see the appointments you have promised and choose a workable new order rather than rely on memory.

Travel and unloading hide between the cuts

A short mowing job may still involve a long drive, a gate and equipment to unload. Without recording those hours, your busiest days can give you a misleading picture of your prices.

Small visits are easy to leave unbilled

When several lawns are finished before lunch, it is easy to forget which invoice still needs preparing. A text saying the yard is done does not replace a clear bill and payment record.

How Microtra helps

Keep the business connected.

Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.

Make the cut and cleanup explicit

Prepare estimates with your own mowing, edging or cleanup items. Describe what happens to clippings and what is excluded, with quantities and prices that match the service you agreed to provide.

Keep the client conversation close

Store contact details, billing preferences and client notes together. Use job notes and tasks for the agreed yard work so a change discussed on the phone has a place beyond the message thread.

Explore this feature

Choose each visit on the schedule

Create jobs, place appointments and assign staff. You arrange return visits and group nearby stops yourself, then adjust the schedule when weather or growth changes the plan.

Explore this feature

Measure the whole job

Start and stop a job timer or enter time manually. Review the hours behind mowing, edging and packing up before quoting a similar lawn or changing the price of a return visit.

Give operating costs a record

Capture expenses such as fuel and equipment upkeep with receipt photos. Reports bring income, costs and unpaid invoices into view when you review how the week's work performed.

A day in the life

From the first quote to paid.

  1. Walk the yard and define the service

    Discuss mowing, edges, clippings and any seasonal cleanup. Prepare an estimate that separates regular maintenance from the extra work needed on the first visit.

  2. Place the lawn in your working day

    Create the job and appointment with the client's details and agreed tasks. Look at the other stops before deciding where it fits; you plan the route.

  3. Cut, clear and record

    Record the time spent on the job and make notes about agreed changes. Enter business expenses while the receipt and reason for the purchase are still easy to find.

  4. Put the completed work on the invoice

    Create an invoice from the estimate, check the mowing and extras, and share the PDF through your device. Server email and SMS sending are coming soon.

  5. Reconcile the visit and schedule a return

    Record the payment received through your usual method, then agree on and add the next visit yourself. Payment collection by card or pay link in Microtra is coming soon.

A few useful answers

Questions from lawn care business owners.

How does Microtra set up a lawn care business?

Lawn care uses the Other industry setup, with Job and Client as the starting terms. Jobs, scheduling and time tracking start on. You can begin with client contacts, job notes, estimates and invoices for the maintenance work you do.

Can I distinguish regular mowing from an overgrown first visit?

Create different saved items or describe the additional work in the estimate. Use your own quantities and prices, and make the first-visit scope clear. Recorded job time can help you review whether that price covered the work.

Will the app arrange my mowing route and repeat dates?

You choose the order of stops and schedule every appointment, including return visits. There is no automatic route optimization. Review the schedule and move appointments yourself when weather interrupts the week.

Can I record fuel and mower maintenance costs?

Yes. Enter business expenses, choose categories and attach receipt photos. Review expenses alongside income in reports. Automated receipt reading and accounting sync are coming soon, so you enter and review those details yourself.

How do I record a client who already paid for the cut?

Record the payment received against the invoice using the money collected through your existing payment method. That updates the payment record; it does not charge the client. Microtra card charging, Tap to Pay, QR payments and pay links are coming soon.
