Smart scheduling

Winter drafting is booked work

The plans you draw in February sit on the calendar like any site visit, so the season you set aside for drawings actually stays yours.

Charge for the first hour, not the last one.

A designer is paid for thinking, and the thinking starts the moment you walk through the gate. So the consultation goes on the page as an ordinary service with a fee and a length on it.

  • Priced before they book it

    The fee sits on the page next to how long you will be there, so nobody is startled to find that an hour of your advice has an invoice behind it.

  • Into a slot you actually have

    They pick from the visits you have left this season, rather than filling in a form that promises a call you then have to make.

  • Everything after it hangs off that job

    The survey photos, the concept, the fee proposal and the planting schedule all land on the same record, so a garden has one story rather than four.

Booked out through the short season.

Design runs months ahead of a build window that is only so long. When it is full the page says so and still takes the inquiry.

  • The inquiry lands as a thread

    Address, what they want and photos of the yard in one place, so you can decide whether it is worth the drive before you call back.

  • Answer once, right on the job

    Reply from the record instead of your texts. What you told them in April is still there when they call again after the thaw.

  • Book them the second one frees

    A cancelled consultation is a gap you fill from the same screen, and the confirmation email goes out without you writing it.

We have just taken the fences down and have no idea what to do with any of it. Is there anything left before the planting season?

Built for your trade

Built for the gardens you are actually asked to draw

Four-season structure

A yard that has to look like something in February. Evergreen bones and bark colour drawn in, because that is the part clients cannot picture.

Hardiness zone planting plan

A species list that survives the winter you actually get, not the one on the tag. The schedule is the deliverable and is priced as one.

Front yard and boulevard

What the city allows on the strip and what the plow will bury. Measured on a paid visit and drawn before anything is ordered.

Snow storage and plow lines

Where the piles land in January decides where the beds go in June. Worked out on site, so the site visit is booked and billed.

Shade under mature maples

Dry root-filled shade narrows the list to a handful of things. That list is the value, so it is quoted as the thing delivered.

Spring melt drainage

Where the water goes when it all runs at once, and what tolerates standing in it. A morning on site, booked as a morning on site.

Lakeside property planting

Shoreline planting and a long drive to reach it, so the consultation is priced for a full day rather than for the usual hour.

Deck and outdoor room layout

Where it sits, how big and what screens it, drawn to scale so a contractor bids off paper rather than off a conversation.

Visits during the install

Every check you make while a crew builds to your drawings is its own booking, so time on site gets invoiced rather than absorbed.

A job that lives in stages, not in a morning.

Visited in March, concept in April, the full set in June, planting in the autumn. The stage a design is in tells you far more than the hour it started.

Which fee proposals were opened, and which went quiet.

A design fee sits on a phone next to two others for a fortnight. Seeing what has been read and what has been accepted makes the one worth a call obvious.

The garden remembers, four years later.

They ring back when the hedge has closed and they want the far end done. Your visit, your concept, the set you handed over and what they paid for it are all still on the record.

Drawing weeks are booked work, not spare time.

Studio days are the first thing a full diary eats. Block them like a site visit and the fortnight held for a planting plan stops being negotiable.

One yard, three levels of drawing.

Concept plan only, the full set with a planting plan, or the set plus visits while a contractor installs it. Three tiers, one proposal.

  • A design fee, not an hourly guess

    Concept, plan set and planting plan are separate lines, so a client questioning a number can see exactly which piece it came from.

  • Three answers on one page

    Concept, full set, or the set with install visits. They compare all three themselves instead of asking you to price it again.

  • Sent before you pull out

    The proposal goes from your phone in the driveway, usually before the client has finished walking back inside.

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

    Pro puts the tiers on one document with one marked recommended, and prices the extras a design picks up: a lighting layout, an irrigation plan, another round of revisions. Checking one moves the total.

Paid for the thinking, then the plans.

The fee comes in pieces months apart. Record cash, cheques and e-transfers by hand for free, or take cards on Pro.

  • Cash and e-transfers are free

    Mark the consultation paid the day the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan, and we never hold your money.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Send a card link for the consultation fee, and another when the plan set and planting schedule are handed over.

  • Split the fee across stages

    Part at concept, the rest at the final set. Staged requests come with Pro and go out once the job is on the board.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your garden design business.

Scheduling

Consultations, the drafting days behind them and the install visits in a short season all sit on one board you can actually read.

Bookings

One record per yard, from the paid first visit through the concept to the day the plan set and the planting schedule are handed over.

Online booking

Clients book the design consultation off your page at the fee you set. The design itself is quoted once you have walked the property.

Inbox

Inspiration links, site photos and every message about that yard stay on the job instead of scattered across email and your phone.

Estimates

Quote the way a studio charges, with concept, plan set and planting plan as their own lines and the design fee sitting under them.

Customers

Contractors and builders come back with the next client. Their addresses, their properties and every plan you have drawn on one card.

Territories

Set how far you will drive for a consultation. A property two hours out should not quietly book itself into your Tuesday morning.

Team

Add a second designer, a drafter and whoever runs the office, and give each of them exactly what they need and nothing more.

Payments

Cash, cheques and e-transfers you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money is yours.

Common questions.

Yes, and it behaves like any other booked service: a fee, a length and a time the client chooses. Take the card on Pro, or record an e-transfer or cheque by hand for free on any plan.

Not for design. Landscape architecture is regulated separately by province, so the wording matters. The CNLA runs a voluntary Landscape Industry Certified Designer credential, which began as Landscape Ontario’s CLD before moving to the CNLA in 2005. Bookables verifies neither.

Yes. Named options side by side on one document, one marked recommended, and the client chooses how far the drawings go when they accept. Options come with Pro.

They open the link, compare the tiers, and accept by typing their full name, which is stored with the time on the job. The accepted proposal converts into a booking.

Then only your own work sits on the board. Book each visit you make during the install as its own job, so those hours get invoiced rather than swallowed by the fee.

Easily. You get 200 bookings a month with no credit card required, and a short build season with a long drafting winter fits inside that without trouble.
