I use GroundsKeeper Pro. Tailor made for the landscaping industry. It absolutely rocks.

It also ties into my PRO Landscape design software, makes it easy to transfer the estimate from PRO Landscape to GroundsKeeper to print the invoice. Then I transfer that information into ARCA and print out a contract.

A basic design takes about an hour to produce photo realistic images, CAD drawings, proposal, plant list, material list, and contract.

Definetely need a computer with some nuts to run it all, a good laser printer, and a plotter to print the CAD drawings.

Where GroundsKeeper Pro really shines is in mowing routes. It's easy to add in a surcharge for pressure washing the driveway, trimming the hedges, etc. At the end of the month when it's time to send out the bills it takes about 3 mouse clicks to print em off. Credit card accounts are debited automatically.
