LMN's distinguishing idea is that an estimate should come out of a real overhead budget rather than a rate someone made up — build the budget once, and every proposal prices off recovered cost. Job costing then compares estimate to actual while the job is still running. The crew app works offline and in Spanish, which matters more in this trade than most. Pricing is published at $297/month for under-10-employee shops and $648 above that.

About
LMN has been selling to landscape contractors since 2009 and its distinguishing idea is that estimating should start from a budget: labor, materials, equipment and overhead get built once, and every proposal prices off those recovered costs rather than a gut-feel hourly rate. From there it covers CRM and lead tracking, drag-and-drop crew scheduling with weather adjustments, a mobile crew app with offline mode in English and Spanish, real-time job costing that compares estimate to actual, and invoicing with LMN Pay on Stripe. Training runs through Greenius, the sister product. Pricing is published: Starter $297/month for companies under 10 employees, Professional $648/month for 10+, Enterprise quote-only from 100 users, all after a one-time onboarding fee. LMN, SingleOps and Greenius merged and launched as the unified Granum brand in October 2025; the product continues as LMN by Granum.
