Bookkeeping for Landscapers
Bookkeeping for Landscapers in Ontario
Ridge & Ledger provides monthly bookkeeping for Ontario landscaping and snow businesses, separating routes, projects, seasonal work, and owner-approved costs. Monthly scope and price are confirmed through the paid Roadmap.
Landscaping combines recurring maintenance routes, design or build projects, equipment use, and often winter snow contracts. Those streams need separate records because a weekly route and a patio build do not carry the same cost pattern.

The records your business actually generates
- Maintenance contracts, enhancement invoices, landscape projects, and snow billings
- Nursery materials, aggregates, salt, fuel, repairs, and equipment rentals
- Route reports, subcontractor bills, seasonal deposits, and customer credits
- Scheduling exports, bank activity, cards, and equipment financing
Monthly workflow
How the record trail moves through month end
- Separate completed route work, landscape projects, and snow events from scheduling and billing reports.
- Code nursery, aggregate, salt, equipment, and subcontract costs using service-line and project rules supplied by the owner.
- Reconcile seasonal collections and flag skipped visits, weather credits, unbilled enhancements, and purchases without a route or project.
Cleanup risks
Where this trade's books commonly break
- Snow-event billing mixed with fixed seasonal contract collections
