Landscaping P&L Template

Once the structure matches your business, enter your monthly revenue and expense figures. Pull revenue numbers from your invoicing or job management software (LMN, Jobber, or Service Autopilot all export monthly summaries). For expenses, use your bank statements or bookkeeping software. The Job Cost Tracker is worth updating per-project as work closes out — enter your estimated and actual costs for each job and review the variance column to see which job types are running over estimate. This is where most landscape companies find the fastest margin improvements.

A landscaping P&L has specific structure requirements that generic templates don't address. Revenue needs to separate recurring maintenance contracts from project-based installation and hardscaping work — these have different margin profiles, different payment timing, and require different capacity planning. Cost of goods sold should break out plants and materials separately from direct crew labor, because material cost percentage and labor cost percentage are managed differently. Landscaping gross margins typically run 40–55%, but the mix matters: maintenance contracts often run higher gross margins than one-time installations, and hardscaping margins depend heavily on material sourcing and subcontractor management. This template organizes all of those elements so you can see the margin story clearly.
