Aeration is a numbers game. The software should keep up.
Aeration season is short. You quote a lot of yards in a few weeks, most of them one-off jobs, and every one is priced by how big the lawn is. ClippingCash is lawn care software built for exactly that: measure the lawn, price it from your rate, send the quote, route the day and get paid when the plugs are pulled.
Quote aeration by lawn size
Measure from satellite
Search the address on a new quote and trace the lawn on the satellite map. Front and back can be separate shapes, and the house, driveway and beds stay outside the line. ClippingCash works out the square feet. How to measure a lawn.
Area pricing that matches your rate card
Set aeration once: a rate per 1,000 sq ft or per square yard, a minimum charge so a small yard still pays for the stop, an optional base fee, or size bands with a flat price per band. Prices round to the nearest $1, $5 or $10. Set up area pricing.
Aerate, overseed or both
Offer three priced options on one quote with a recommended pick, or add optional extras the customer can tick. Save your aeration tiers as a package and drop them onto any quote. Good / Better / Best quotes.
From approved quote to a full route
- Customers approve from their phone. The quote goes out as a link with Approve and Decline buttons, no login. You get an email and an owner-app push when they answer.
- Optional follow-ups. Turn on quote follow-ups and unanswered quotes are chased on day 2 and day 5.
- Upsell your mowing list. Add quote on a saved property opens a quote with the customer and address filled in.
- One click to a job. An approved quote converts to a one-off job with its details carried over.
- Route the day. Optimize Route plans the day from your shop address, up to 80 stops per run, on every plan. Give aeration a typical time on site and each stop is sized to it.
- Plan around rain. The 7-day forecast on the Schedule tints days at a 60% chance of rain or more, and Rain day moves a whole day of stops at once.
Get paid when the job is done
Mark the job done and the invoice is created and sent. The customer pays by card or bank on their phone, on your own Stripe account at Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ for cards or 0.8% capped at $5 for bank payments, and ClippingCash takes no cut. Your crew can record cash or a check at the door, or charge the customer's card on file from the worker app. With service reports turned on, the customer gets a link with before and after photos of the work.
Then check profit by property to see which aeration yards actually paid for the time on site.

FAQ: aeration business software
Can I price aeration by square foot in ClippingCash?
Yes. Set an area price on your aeration service: a rate per 1,000 sq ft or per square yard with a minimum charge, an optional base fee and free square feet, or size bands with a flat price per band. Measure the lawn on a satellite map and the quote prices itself.
Can I quote aeration without driving out to the property?
Yes. On a new quote, search the address and trace the lawn yourself on the satellite map. ClippingCash works out the square feet on the server and prices each service from your area pricing. It does not outline the lawn for you, so you draw the shapes.
How do I offer aeration with overseeding as an upgrade?
Put both on one quote as Good / Better / Best options, for example aeration alone, aeration with overseeding, and aeration with overseeding and a fertilizer application, with one marked as recommended. The customer picks one on their phone and the option they choose becomes the job. Three-option quotes are on every plan.
Can I sell aeration to my existing mowing customers?
Yes. Click Add quote on a property you already have and the quote opens with the customer and service address filled in. Send it as a link and the customer approves it from their phone, no login needed.
