So you started your lawn care business - and shit hit the fan quicker than you thought it would. All you wanted was to enjoy the great outdoors and listen to the purr of a Toro engine all day. Instead, you’re stuck at home figuring out how to conquer the administrative tasks you never really wanted to deal with anyway. With Lawn Budy's Job Scheduling feature, your day is organized for you and your crews.

With the Lawn Buddy Homeowner App, you can give your customers a seamless experience. The Homeowner App lets customers receive notifications for your seasonal promotions, alerts when jobs are complete, and gives them the ability to order your services at any time - straight from the app. 

There are many businesses out there that start their business by using tools like Excel, Outlook, or even Quickbooks to keep track of customers. However, as your business grows these platforms make keeping customer information organized tricky and time-consuming. That’s where CRM (customer relationship management) software comes into play. 

Lawn Buddy and EVO Payments, Inc. (“EVO”) have entered into a strategic partnership that will provide Lawn Buddy customers with an easy, affordable, and fast way to process payments.

This partnership brings together Lawn Buddy, a powerful software servicing lawn and landscape professionals and EVO, a leading global provider of payment technology integrations and acquiring solutions.

The combination of Lawn Buddy's web and mobile-based software with EVO’s credit card and ACH processing and value added solutions such as card-on-file will enhance the ability of lawn and landscape service providers to get paid on time, every time. 

“We are excited to partner with Lawn Buddy to enable EVO’s acquiring and processing services and secure Payfabric gateway for Lawn Buddy’s new and existing software customers,” said Brendan F. Tansill, EVO’s President, the Americas. “Lawn and landscape professionals will benefit from our secure payment solutions delivered via a seamless integration to their existing Lawn Buddy software suite.” 

“At Lawn Buddy we are always looking for ways to improve our product and provide more value to our customers.'' said Steven Werner, Chief Executive Officer of Lawn Buddy.  “This partnership with EVO does just that. With ACH and card on file, our customers will enjoy a completely integrated payments solution, are guaranteed to get paid and will spend less on processing fees.” 

Setting up your direct deposit in Lawn Buddy is fast and easy. You can do it through the web or app platform.

On average, providers who have direct deposit set up get paid 5X faster and make an average tip of $20 per job.
