For landscaping crews
Mowing routes and install crews, one weekly review.
Landscaping Time Tracking for Route and Install Crews
Route crews hitting twelve properties a day, install crews on a patio job, and seasonal help that turns over by July. Track it all without the paperwork.
Landscaping time tracking for a small outfit means getting each guy's daily hours from route days and install jobs onto one weekly card, without chasing paper on Friday. With My Guys Time each worker joins his crew's team from his own phone, he or the crew lead logs the day, and the foreman approves the week. $12/month flat for the whole company.
Landscaping is two businesses at once. Route work, where a crew touches a dozen properties before lunch. Install work, where the same guys spend three days on one hardscape. Add spring hiring, guys who are gone by August, and Saturday rain makeup days, and the weekly hours turn into a guess. My Guys Time puts every crew's week on one board.

Where landscaping hours go missing
If any of these sound like your week, your time cards are leaking.
Route days are a blur
Twelve properties, one crew, one day. Nobody writes down hours per stop, but the week's total still has to be right, not guessed.
Install crews vs route crews
Different work, different pace, sometimes different guys by Wednesday. Lump the hours together and you can't tell which side of the business ate the week.
Seasonal turnover
New faces every spring, some gone by August. Getting a new hire onto paper time cards, and off them cleanly, is a hassle you don't need.
Rain makeup days
Rain pushes the route to Saturday. Those odd days are the first ones forgotten when the week gets totaled up.
The landscaping week on My Guys Time
Log the day from the truck
Each guy logs his hours from his own phone, or the crew lead logs them for the crew. Route done, tailgate down, hours in. The install crew does the same from the patio job.
The foreman approves the week
One board per crew, every day of the week. Saturday makeup hours are already there. No Monday morning detective work.
Crews change, the board keeps up
A guy moving from the route crew to installs for the season? The office moves him to the other crew on the Team page, and his open weeks go with him. New seasonal hire started Wednesday? He's on the board from his first day.
Hand off the week
The office sees weekly hours, hours past 40, and a simple gross pay estimate, then hands the week to whoever runs payroll.
More than one crew?
Run your route crew and your install crew as separate crews, each with its own crew chief and its own weekly board. Same company, same login, same price. Two crews or five, it's $12/month flat for the whole company. You see every crew's week on one screen.
New hire Monday, logging hours Monday
Landscaping hires fast and loses people faster. There's no onboarding packet for a time card here. Send the new guy a copyable invite link, he opens it in his phone's browser, joins his crew, and he's logging hours that day. When he leaves in August, he's off the board. Nothing to collect, nothing to file.

What apps do landscapers use for crew hours?
Most small landscaping outfits end up in one of four places:
- General time trackers with a free tier. Good for a couple of people. They're usually built around a timer and priced per seat once you grow. See how Clockify compares.
- Per-seat crew apps. Built for field crews, often with location tracking, priced per user. See ClockShark vs My Guys Time.
- Full landscaping business software. Scheduling, estimates, invoicing and more, at full business software prices. A lot to learn if you just need hours.
- A flat-price crew time card. That's us: daily hours, foreman approval, one price for the whole company.

Landscaping questions, answered straight
Can I see route hours separate from install hours?+
Yes. Run them as separate crews and each crew gets its own weekly board, so route hours and install hours stay apart all week.
What if a crew lead forgets to log a day?+
The empty day shows on the weekly board, so it's hard to miss. Each guy can log his own hours from his phone too. A one-man route crew auto-approves.
Does it handle overtime?+
The weekly board shows each person's weekly hours, hours past 40, and a simple gross pay estimate for the office. It doesn't calculate taxes, deductions, net pay, or payroll. Saturday makeup days are already in the totals. Hand the week to whoever runs payroll.
Do seasonal guys need to download an app?+
No. They open the invite link in the phone's browser and add it to the home screen.
What does it cost for a landscaping company?+
$12/month flat for the whole company, every crew, every seasonal hire. Try it for 7 days, no card.
