Best CRM for lawn care businesses UK (2026): 6 compared on price

A lawn care CRM needs to hold customers, every property they own and the gate codes that go with them, then turn that into visits and invoices. For one to five people, TradeSender (free, then £19 a month) and ServiceM8 (free, then £25 a month) are priced in pounds and free to start. Jobber, Housecall Pro and LawnPro are American or Canadian and priced in dollars, and Tradify (from £34 per user a month) is the pick if accounting sync matters most.

Prices are from each vendor's own pricing page in September 2026. ServiceM8 and Housecall Pro say their prices exclude VAT or sales tax; the others do not say.

What a lawn care CRM has to hold

A sales CRM like HubSpot tracks leads and deals. A lawn care business needs something closer to an address book that knows about gardens: the customer, the house or houses you look after, who to call if the owner is away, where the side gate is and its code, and every visit and invoice against that property.

Landlords and letting agents make this harder. One customer can have six properties, each with a tenant who opens the gate and a separate address the invoice goes to. If the software only allows one address per customer, you end up with duplicate records and invoices sent to the wrong place.

The other test is the phone. You look things up at the kerb, often with one bar of signal, so the customer record needs to open quickly on the phone and ideally without signal at all.

TradeSender (our product)

I run Quilliams Mowing Ltd and built TradeSender for it, so it is shaped around that kind of customer book. Each customer can have several properties, extra contacts such as a tenant or property manager, a separate billing address, and access notes and gate codes on each property. UK address lookup fills the address as you type. Customers are unlimited on every plan. Customer management has screenshots.

The iPhone app keeps customers, contacts and properties on the phone, so a gate code opens without signal, and any change you make offline syncs when you are back in range. From a customer you book visits (weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or monthly repeats on Pro), quote, and invoice.

Free covers one person and 30 visits a month without repeats; Pro is £19 a month for up to 5 people with unlimited visits and repeating rounds; Business is £49 for unlimited people. The pricing page has the full list.

What it does not do yet: import (we will move your spreadsheet across for you), online card payments, accounting sync, text message reminders, route planning or an Android app. The web app works in an Android phone browser.

The other five

ServiceM8

Australian. Free for one user and 30 jobs a month, then Starter at £25 with unlimited users and 50 jobs, Growing at £59 for 150 jobs, up to £269. Recurring jobs, deposits and online payments on every plan; prices exclude VAT. It is built around job cards and forms more than property records, so check how it handles one customer with several addresses.

Tradify

Housecall Pro

American. Basic is $79 a month month to month or $59 billed yearly for one user; Essentials is $189 ($149 yearly) for five users; Max is $329 ($299 yearly) for eight. Prices exclude sales tax. It is built for US home service firms, so VAT invoices are something to test during the 14-day trial.

LawnPro

American and built for lawn treatment. The free Solo plan covers one user and up to 25 customers; Startup is $39 a month ($29 yearly) for three people, Grow $129 for seven. It has recurring job templates, multi-step programmes, route optimisation, card, ACH and PayPal payments, and apps for iPhone and Android. Its site does not mention pounds or VAT.

Moving from a spreadsheet or another CRM

Most CRMs will export customers as a CSV file. TradeSender has no import screen yet, so send us the file and we will bring it in for you. Run both side by side for a couple of weeks, and switch in the quiet months (November to February) rather than in May.

Questions

Do I need a CRM, or will a spreadsheet do?

A spreadsheet holds names and addresses well. It will not book a fortnightly visit, send an invoice or open on your phone in a lane with no signal. Once you are keeping a separate diary and invoice book alongside it, a CRM saves you the double entry.

Can I use HubSpot or Salesforce?

You can, but they are built for sales teams. You would have to add properties, visits and invoices yourself, which a field service tool already has.

Is a free plan enough?

For a solo operator with a small book of one-off jobs, yes. TradeSender Free has unlimited customers, quotes, invoices and the iPhone app for one person and 30 visits a month. Once your round repeats every week or fortnight, you will want Pro.

Where to start

If your customer book is mostly repeat lawn and garden work in the UK, start on TradeSender's free plan and see whether the customer and property records fit how you work. If online card payments or accounting sync are the must-have today, trial Tradify or Jobber alongside it.
