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 from EUR 20 excl. VAT per payslip depending on volume; full formation at the single EUR 2,000 flat fee on the 2026 fee grid.
