A landscaper's economics are seasonal: revenue concentrated from March to November, fixed costs across twelve months. That asymmetry is managed through cash, smoothed accounting retainers, and through payroll, seasonal contracts correctly calibrated. A landscaper hiring on permanent contracts what should be seasonal discovers the problem in January.

Recurring maintenance or landscaping projects: two models

Recurring maintenance contracts smooth cash and bill as subscriptions; landscaping projects run on quotes, instalments and acceptance. The accounting follows both logics, from EUR 250 excl. VAT per month, seasonal payroll at EUR 20 excl. VAT per payslip; full formation at the single EUR 2,049 flat fee on the 2026 fee grid.
