Cleanup season is a scheduling problem
Fall leaf cleanup and spring cleanup land on top of your regular mowing route, last a few weeks, and depend on the weather. Some customers want one big cleanup, others want the leaves hauled every week until the trees are bare. ClippingCash is lawn care software that handles both, next to the mowing route you already run.
Two ways to schedule a cleanup
One-off cleanups
A spring cleanup or a single fall cleanup is a one-off job. Add it straight to the schedule, or send a quote and convert it to a job once the customer approves. No quote is required. Schedule a job.
A leaf season with an end date
For weekly leaf pickup, set up a recurring plan that repeats weekly or every two weeks with an Ends on date. The visits fill the calendar through the season and billing stops on that date. Set up a recurring plan.
Working days and missed jobs
Mark holidays and closed days and ClippingCash warns before booking one. The Today page flags jobs from earlier days that were never finished, and the Missed jobs list puts one back on a new day or skips it with a reason.
Built for the weather you work in
- 7-day forecast on the schedule. Each day in the Schedule's week and day views shows the weather, high and low and chance of rain, and days at 60% or more are tinted.
- Rain day in one action. Move every unstarted stop on a day to the next dry day, earlier, or a date you pick. Each stop keeps its time of day, you preview first, and Undo puts every stop back. How Rain day works.
- Customers hear about it. On a texting plan, each opted-in customer can get one text naming their service and new day.
- Routes that fit cleanup stops. Give a cleanup service a typical time on site and route optimization plans each stop for that long, from your shop address, on every plan.
Price and bill cleanups your way
- Flat, per visit or per hour. Each service has its own price unit, so a cleanup can be flat while trimming is hourly. Set up services.
- Saved packages. Build your cleanup tiers once, save them as a package and drop the set onto any quote, or offer Good / Better / Best options on one quote.
- Optional add-ons. Let the customer tick extras like gutter clearing or a hedge trim on the quote.
- Season total, split into payments. Quote the fall season as one total in a set number of payments, and the approved quote becomes the billing plan. Billing plans.
- Invoice on completion. Mark the job done and the invoice is created and sent, with card and bank payments on your own Stripe account and no cut for ClippingCash.
- Proof of the work. The worker app checks the phone is at the property at start and finish, and before and after photos ride along on the invoice.

FAQ: leaf and seasonal cleanup scheduling
Can I schedule weekly leaf pickup just for the fall?
Yes. Set up a recurring plan that repeats weekly or every two weeks and give it an Ends on date. The visits fill the calendar until that date and billing stops there. Leave Ends on empty for a year-round customer.
How do I price leaf cleanups in ClippingCash?
Each service has its own price unit, such as flat, per visit or per hour, and you can save cleanup tiers as a quote package. For a fall season, a quote can carry a season total split into payments, and the approved quote becomes the customer’s billing plan.
What happens when rain wipes out a cleanup day?
Use Rain day in the web app. It moves every unstarted stop on that day to the next dry day from the forecast, pulls them earlier, or moves them to a date you pick. You see the list first, Undo puts it back, and on a texting plan each customer can get one text with their new day.
Can customers request a cleanup online?
Yes, if you turn on the Request a quote page. Requests land in a Quote requests inbox for you to turn into a customer and a quote. Nothing goes straight onto your schedule without you.
