Your crews grow every spring. Your HR shouldn’t slow them down.
Landscaping and lawn care run on seasonal crews, tight margins, and jobs that can require certified payroll. Netchex handles the hiring surge, the payroll complexity, and the compliance so your crews stay in the field.
The challenges landscaping teams face every day.
Landscaping and lawn care companies deal with seasonal swings, crew-based pay, and compliance requirements most HR platforms weren’t built to handle.
Seasonal headcount can double overnight
Your crew size can double every spring and crash back down every fall. Managing that swing manually eats up your whole office team.
Crew-based pay is hard to calculate
Overtime across multiple job sites, split shifts, and mixed crews make manual payroll a guessing game every week.
Certified payroll eats a full day every week
Municipal and commercial landscaping contracts increasingly require certified payroll documentation. Building it by hand from timesheets is slow.
High turnover means constant re-onboarding
Seasonal laborer turnover is normal, but re-onboarding every few weeks still costs real time and money.
Multi-site scheduling doesn’t sync with payroll
Crew assignments live in one system and payroll in another, so hours worked and hours paid don’t always match.
There’s a better way to run it
Netchex automates seasonal onboarding, crew-based pay, and certified payroll reporting, so your office spends less time on paperwork.
How the landscaping industry is changing.
Contracts increasingly require certified payroll
Commercial and municipal landscaping contracts are adding certified payroll documentation requirements, raising the compliance bar.
Labor shortages are pushing wages up
Fast, low-friction hiring is becoming a competitive edge as wages climb across the seasonal labor market.
Customers expect crew transparency
Route and crew visibility expectations are rising, pushing companies toward better scheduling software.
Flexible pay is a recruiting differentiator
Financial wellness benefits like Flex Pay are becoming a differentiator for seasonal crew recruiting.
