Tier S · Published pricesLandscaping business software for budget-based estimating, scheduling, crew time tracking and job costing, now sold by Granum
LMN (Landscape Management Network) is software for landscaping companies built around budget-based estimating, with scheduling, crew time tracking, job costing, invoicing and online payments. LMN says it has served landscapers since 2009 and that more than 3,000 North American landscaping companies have adopted it. LMN merged with SingleOps in November 2024, and in October 2025 the combined company launched Granum as its parent brand, which also sells SingleOps and Greenius. Granum's terms name Granum, LLC of Atlanta, Georgia, and its contact page lists offices in Atlanta and Toronto.
Pros
- + Bids built from your company budget so each proposal is priced to a target margin
- + Crew app in English and Spanish with an offline mode
- + Estimate versus actual job costing while the job is live
- + Published per-company prices with office and crew licenses included
Cons
- − Prices are in US dollars only, billed monthly after a one-time onboarding fee whose amount is not published
- − Starter connects to QuickBooks Online only; QuickBooks Desktop needs the $648 Professional plan
- − Built for landscaping, not general trades
- − No free plan or free trial shown on the pricing page
Canada note
Granum lists an office in Toronto and remote staff across Canada, but LMN publishes its prices in US dollars only, and Granum's privacy policy tells Canadian users that the information it collects is stored in the United States. In August 2025 Greenius, LMN and Marsh Canada announced an insurance program for contractors across Canada that gives a premium discount for completing approved risk management training.
