Why they built it
LandscapeBase was founded in 2025 by Joachim Wurtz, PJ Dutta and Mark Sciosia. Wurtz came from a career in finance and technology at some of the world's biggest companies. The idea came from his brother, who runs a commercial landscape design-and-build firm and was hiring someone just to schedule jobs and manage quoting, because he had no time to look for better tools.
The founders met at a trade association event, where Dutta and Sciosia were looking for software for their previous companies and could not find anything built for landscaping. Market research and conversations with firms across the industry showed the problem was widespread. LandscapeBase says generic trade systems make landscaping firms adapt their work to the software instead of following how gardens are sold, costed and built.
Its stated mission is to give landscaping business owners their time back to grow their businesses, which is why the product is vertical-specific: built for landscaping and nothing else.
What they built
A single-trade platform joining estimating, scheduling, site evidence, margin and client communication around the garden.
Where they are now
LandscapeBase says it serves more than 100 UK landscaping firms and promises one-trade focus, implementation at the customer’s office, and no annual contract with full export.
What it means for landscapers
The specialist focus is most relevant when live project margin must follow a staged build rather than a short service visit.
USD tiered plans with plan-specific users and features
Why they built it
Sam Pillar and Forrest Zeisler founded Jobber in Edmonton in 2011. The founders saw a painting-business owner spending too much billable time on administration.
What they built
An all-in-one service platform for requests, quotes, schedules, invoices, payments and client communication.
Where they are now
Jobber reports users across more than 50 industries and 60 countries.
What it means for landscapers
It suits frequent service visits, while firms needing site-weather and route-aware landscaping decisions should compare LandscapeBase Smart Scheduling.
Public GBP tiers charged per user, with a 14-day trial
Why they built it
Curtis Bailey founded Tradify in Auckland in 2013. Tradify says its founder moved from electrical engineering into software after experiencing the paperwork of running a trade business.
What they built
Mobile job management connecting enquiries, quotes, schedules, timesheets, supplier bills and invoices.
Where they are now
Tradify describes itself as a purpose-built trades platform rather than software for one industry.
What it means for landscapers
Small teams get clear per-user pricing, but staged builders should compare supplier-aware LandscapeBase Auto Costing.
Simpro began in Australia in 2002. Simpro says an electrical-business owner and software-engineering student found that existing software did not work for trades.

A broad field-service platform for projects, inventory, assets, maintenance and reporting.
Where they are now
Simpro reports more than 14 million jobs created annually and over 400 partners worldwide.
