Best for tree care and landscaping estimates and jobs
Arborgold covers estimating, scheduling, invoicing and job costing for landscaping and tree companies, from $129 a month. Job costing needs Professional at $299, users are charged on top, and there is a 12-month minimum.
Who Arborgold is for
- Fits if you run a tree or landscape company that wants estimates and jobs in one place
- Works for firms that will sign a 12-month term
Who Arborgold is not for
- Pricey if you add staff, as office and mobile users are charged on top and the page gives no user prices
- Tight if you need job costing, as it starts on Professional at $299
- Watch out: there is a twelve-month minimum, and cancelling needs 60 days notice
- Watch out: third-party software such as QuickBooks is bought separately at extra cost
- Not for you if you want to try before buying, as no free plan or trial is listed

Keep Arborgold, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Arborgold you could make: job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 53 of the 55 other field service apps grade higher. It costs $1,548 a year.
What you could make
- Job scheduling, quotes and estimates, invoicing, time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Arborgold’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Arborgold?
Arborgold is field service software for lawn care, landscaping, tree care, plant health care, pest control and snow removal companies. It covers estimating, scheduling and route optimization, job management, invoicing and payments, and has mobile apps for crews and sales staff.
Worth knowing
- The listed prices are plan bases. Office and mobile users are added on top, and the page gives no user prices, only a request for pricing.
- The page says an annual contract is required, with monthly and annual payment options.
- The pricing page does not label which price column is annual, so that split is inferred from the page layout.
- Job costing, renewals and inventory tools need Professional. Plant and tree inventory mapping needs Enterprise.
Key features
- Estimating and measurements
- Bids and estimates with unlimited land measurements, which crews and sales staff can also create in the field from the mobile apps.
- Scheduling and routing
- Drag-and-drop scheduling and route optimization, with multi-day scheduling for landscape work and recurring service for lawn and tree care.
- Invoicing and payments
- Invoicing with credit card, debit card and ACH payments, including recurring monthly service invoices, through Arborgold Payments.
- Job costing
- On Professional and up, job costing tracks labor, materials, equipment and overhead, alongside material and chemical tracking.
- Crew and office apps
- Office users get the cloud features. Mobile users such as estimators, sales staff and crew leads get apps for bids, jobs, messages and time tracking.
