Lawn Care Time Tracking Software for Mowing Crews | PunchPro

Lawn care time tracking software

Time tracking for lawn care crews that move 20 times a day.

Crews clock in at the first property from one phone or their own, hours roll up by property and service, and seasonal workers only cost you in the months they work. Overtime shows up mid-week, and approved hours export to your payroll provider.

Who it's for

Built for lawn care companies with 3 to 100 on the crew.

PunchPro fits if…

  • Your crews start at the first property, not the yard
  • Headcount doubles in April and halves in November
  • You want hours by property for pricing and by crew for payroll
  • You export hours to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom

Look elsewhere if…

  • You need routing, estimates or invoicing in the same tool (PunchPro works alongside your lawn care software)
  • You need live GPS tracking between properties
  • You need equipment or chemical logs

Also works for…

  • Landscaping and hardscape crews
  • Snow removal in the off-season
  • Tree service and irrigation companies

How it works

Built around how a mowing day actually runs.

Punch at the property

GPS on the punch, by property and service.

Crews clock in when they arrive at the first property and pick the service — mowing, cleanup, install. Location is recorded at the punch and shown against the property. Between stops, nothing is tracked.

  • Property and service selected at clock-in
  • Location shown against the property
  • Switch properties or services mid-day
Seasonal pricing

Pay for who's working this month, not who's on the roster.

PunchPro bills $7 per active user. A crew member who doesn't clock in during the month doesn't count. Your November bill drops with your headcount, and no one has to be deleted and re-added in spring.

  • Active users only
  • Seasonal staff stay on the roster all year
  • Rehire in spring with records intact
Licenses & safety

Licenses and certifications that warn you before they lapse.

Every crew member's licenses, certifications, driver's license and safety acknowledgments live on their employee record with expiry dates. PunchPro alerts you weeks ahead, and new hires sign the handbook and safety policies before their first punch.

  • Expiry alerts on licenses and certifications
  • Documents filed to each employee's record
  • Handbook and safety policies signed on a phone
Payroll prep

Guardrails before you approve. Export to the payroll you already run.

Timecards with missed punches, unexpected overtime or edits are flagged before the period locks, with one-tap fixes and an audit trail. Approved hours export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom, so nothing changes on the payroll side.

  • Configurable guardrails: Off / Warn / Block
  • Flagged timecards surfaced first, bulk approval for the rest
  • Export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom

Common questions

Lawn care time tracking questions, answered plainly.

Does PunchPro replace my lawn care routing software?

No. PunchPro handles people, time, scheduling, PTO, HR and payroll prep and works alongside routing, estimating and invoicing tools.

How does pricing work with seasonal crews?

$39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active user. Someone who doesn't clock in during a month isn't billed, so winter costs less than summer.

Does it track crews between properties?

No. Location is recorded at clock-in and clock-out only.

Can one phone clock in a whole crew?

Each crew member clocks in from their own phone, or you can use a tablet kiosk in the truck or yard with PINs. Hours by worker and property roll up either way.

What payroll providers does it export to?

QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom. You review and approve hours in PunchPro, then export to the payroll you already run.

How much does PunchPro cost for a lawn care company?

$39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active employee per month, every feature included. A 20-person team is $179.99 per month. 14-day free trial, no credit card.
