Questions, answered
- What is the best software for a grounds maintenance business?
- The best fit is software built for the trade rather than a generic field-service tool. SwardOps handles quotes, recurring rounds, crew scheduling, invoicing and UK payments, plus grounds-specific features like line marking, spray & COSHH and lone-worker safety. It’s designed for UK grounds & garden maintenance contractors.
- How much does grounds maintenance software cost?
- SwardOps is £29/mo (Sole Trader), £79/mo (Crew, up to 5 people) or £149/mo (Contractor, up to 15). They’re team plans rather than per-user. Founding contractors lock in 30% off for life. There’s a free 30-day trial. You pick a plan and save a card, but nothing’s charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime.
- Does it work for a one-person operation?
- Yes. The Sole Trader plan is built for a self-employed grounds/garden business: the full platform, quotes to invoicing, on your phone. You can add crew later without switching tools.
