When to use and what to include

Assign and adjust execution details online, then generate a field-ready work order PDF. Use this after the contract is signed and before the crew loads the truck, so every worker knows what to deliver, dig, plant, and grade that day.

What to include

  • Job site address, access instructions, utility locate confirmation (811 call date and ticket number), and on-site contact with phone number.
  • Delivery schedule: which materials arrive when (topsoil, mulch, plants, sod, stone, irrigation parts) and where on site they should be staged.
  • Task sequence for the crew: demo/removal first, then grading, irrigation trenching, planting, sod laying, mulching, and final cleanup with responsible crew member for each.
  • Plant placement map or marked site plan showing exact locations for trees, shrubs, perennials, sod areas, and bed edges by species and quantity.
  • Completion checklist: all plants installed per plan, irrigation tested zone by zone, beds edged and mulched, sod rolled and watered, debris removed, and customer walkthrough signed.

Common questions

Can I edit this Landscaping Work Order before work starts?
Yes. Update the crew, site notes, materials, tasks, and schedule in the guided form before downloading the final PDF.
Can I save this Landscaping Work Order and reuse its details for similar jobs?
Yes. With an account, save it in your history, edit it later, and reuse its job details as a starting point for similar work.
Can I export this Landscaping Work Order as a crew-ready PDF?
Yes. Generate a PDF your team can open on-site or print for job folders.
Should the work order include watering instructions for the crew?
Yes. New plantings and sod need immediate watering. Note how much and how long to water each area before leaving the site.
How do I handle plant substitutions in the field?
The work order should reference the contract clause on substitutions. Call the customer and get verbal approval, then note the change on the work order with the new species and size.
Should the work order note the irrigation zone layout?
Yes. Mark which zones serve the work area so the crew knows what to shut off during installation and what to test after backfill. Running sprinklers over fresh seed at the wrong time washes out the work.
How do I keep work orders easy to identify?
Give each job a reference number and record its customer, work, assigned crew, planned date, status, and completion notes. With an account, you can save each PDF in your document history.
Is a work order useful for a small job?
It can be. A short work order records the requested tasks, price, planned date, assigned crew, and customer acknowledgment in one job document.
