Apps for New York rooftop, backyard and building grounds crews.

Codeeo delivers landscaping services app development New York companies can run on: crew apps, client apps and office dashboards for firms that plant terraces in Manhattan, rebuild brownstone backyards in Brooklyn and keep lawns in Staten Island and Queens. In this city a job depends on freight elevators, building managers, insurance certificates and parking as much as on soil, and the software should keep all of that organized before the van leaves.

We have completed 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and our team of 80+ sits across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi. We have no New York office; we work remotely with clients in the city, holding discovery and progress reviews by video call.

Built for
Rooftop and terrace garden firms, backyard design build studios, grounds contractors for co-ops, condos and commercial buildings, and residential lawn crews across the five boroughs.
Typical timeline
We define the first release with you in discovery, and only then write down milestones you have approved, so timing is tied to agreed scope rather than a guess.
What you own
Your company owns the code, the store listings, the dashboard and all building, client and job data, kept in accounts in your name.

What the app can include

Features for buildings, boards and very short seasons.

A planting crew in Manhattan may never touch a lawn. Their day is soil bags in a freight elevator booked for one hour, a doorman who needs a name list, a terrace with drainage that cannot be blocked and a board that approved the design three months ago. In Brooklyn the challenge is carrying stone through a narrow hallway, and in Staten Island it looks more like suburban lawn care. Seasons are short and sharp too: spring cleanups, summer maintenance, fall leaf work, then holiday displays and snow. These capabilities answer those problems. Discovery shows which of them hurt your business most; those go into the first release, and the rest are planned as later stages, each priced separately so you decide what to build and when. Nothing is added to the scope just because another city's operators asked for it.

Explain your project
  • Building access and elevator bookings

    Each building stores its rules: freight elevator hours, loading dock instructions, whether the super needs a crew list the day before, and which entrance deliveries use. The app sends crew names to the building contact automatically and reminds the office when an elevator slot is still unconfirmed.

    Crews arrive to a booked elevator instead of a locked service door.

  • Insurance certificate tracking

    Management companies usually ask for a certificate of insurance naming the building and its managing agent before work starts. The app stores each building's requirements, tracks which certificates are on file and when they expire, and blocks scheduling at buildings where paperwork is missing.

    No crew turned away at the lobby for missing paperwork.

  • Rooftop and terrace care plans

    Container gardens need different care from ground plantings. Each terrace record holds plant lists, planter sizes, drip lines, drain locations and winter protection notes. Crews check drains on every visit and log wind damage or frozen lines with photos so the client sees the issue the same day.

    Fewer dead plants after winter and fewer drainage complaints.

  • Street tree permit prompts

    NYC Parks requires a tree work permit for most pruning, planting or other work on or near street trees. When a job touches a tree in the sidewalk, the app prompts the office to confirm a permit is in place and stores the permit with the job before a crew is scheduled.

    Tree work booked only when the paperwork is ready.

  • Fertilizer and treatment logs

    New York State limits phosphorus lawn fertilizer, bans most lawn fertilizing between December 1 and April 1 and restricts application within 20 feet of a water body. The app records product, rate, date and location for every treatment, and it warns crews when a job falls inside a restricted period.

    A clear record if a client or regulator asks what was applied.

  • Seasonal service switching

    One account can move from spring cleanup to weekly maintenance, fall leaf removal, holiday planters and snow clearing without new paperwork. Contracts, checklists and crew assignments change with the season, and clients approve the next season's work from their phone.

    Year round revenue from the same client list.

  • Board and manager approvals

    Co-op and condo projects often need approval from a board or managing agent before installation. Designs, revised drawings and quotes go out through the app, every comment is kept with the version it refers to, and the signed approval becomes the scope the crew works from.

    No arguments later about what the board actually approved.

  • Borough based dispatch

    Jobs are grouped by borough and neighborhood, with notes on parking, alternate side rules for the street and the nearest place to unload. Dispatchers keep a crew in one part of Brooklyn or the Upper West Side for a day rather than crossing bridges between stops.

    Less time in traffic and fewer parking tickets.

  • Client updates for owners who are away

    Many terrace and townhouse owners are at work, traveling or living elsewhere for part of the year. After each visit they receive a short summary with photos, notes on anything that needs a decision and a button to approve extra work. Messages stay attached to the property, so the next crew sees the whole conversation.

    Decisions made from a phone instead of waiting for a site meeting.

  • Invoicing for managed buildings

    Management companies often need purchase order numbers, building codes and separate invoices per property. The app produces invoices in that format and sends them to the right accounts payable contact, while private homeowners pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through a PCI DSS compliant processor.

    Invoices accepted the first time instead of sent back.

Who this is for

Four New York businesses we build landscaping apps for.

The boroughs produce very different kinds of landscaping work. A terrace specialist serving Tribeca and the Upper East Side lives by elevator slots and board approvals. A backyard studio in Park Slope or Carroll Gardens deals with narrow access and longer projects. A grounds contractor for commercial plazas reports to property managers, and a lawn crew in Staten Island looks more like a suburban operator. Here is what each usually needs first. Plenty of firms do two of these at once, and one app can serve both sides of the business without duplicate client records or a second login for the office.

01

Rooftop and terrace garden companies

Your work happens many floors up, in buildings with strict rules. The first release usually covers building records, elevator and access scheduling, insurance tracking and care plans for each terrace, with photo reports for owners who are rarely home when the crew visits. Winterizing and spring reopening become scheduled tasks rather than a scramble every November and April. Irrigation shutoff, planter wrapping and spring checks all appear on the calendar months ahead.

Building logistics usually matter more than routing here.

02

Brownstone backyard design build studios

Projects in Brooklyn and Harlem backyards involve design approvals, material deliveries through narrow hallways, neighbor coordination and staged payments. The app manages each project phase, collects client sign off on drawings and change orders, and keeps progress photos in one place so the client follows the build from the office. Neighbor notices and delivery windows can be logged too, which helps on blocks where one skip or pallet in the wrong place causes trouble.

03

Grounds contractors for co-ops, condos and commercial buildings

Managing agents want proof the contract is being delivered. We build building portfolios, recurring checklists for plazas, courtyards and planters, timestamped photo reports and logins for property managers, plus invoices that follow each management company's billing rules.

Property manager reporting often decides who renews.

04

Residential lawn and snow crews in the outer boroughs

In Staten Island, eastern Queens and parts of the Bronx, the work looks like classic lawn care in summer and snow clearing in winter. The app handles recurring routes, seasonal contracts, fertilizer logs and quick rescheduling after a storm, with autopay so the office is not chasing small invoices all year. Customers can add services such as aeration, mulching or gutter clearing from the client app with one tap.

Snow and lawn contracts can share one client record.

Our six stage process for New York landscaping apps.

  1. 01Discovery over videoWe meet owners, office managers and a lead gardener by video to understand how work is won, how building access is arranged and where the week usually goes wrong.
  2. 02Building and site inventoryTogether we list the building rules, client types and seasonal services the app must handle, and decide how each record is structured so new buildings can be added quickly.
  3. 03Screen design and prototypeCrew, client and office screens are designed and tested as a prototype on real phones, including how a gardener reports a problem from a windy roof with gloves on.
  4. 04Development in stagesWorking features arrive in regular builds you can test. Payments, calendars and mapping are connected early, and any accounting integration is tested with real invoice formats.
  5. 05Seasonal pilotA small group of crews runs the app through part of a season, ideally including a changeover such as spring cleanup, so we see how it handles a real shift in work.
  6. 06Launch and ongoing updatesWe publish to both stores, train the office by video and keep improving the app as new service lines, buildings or rules are added.

Technology

What we build this with.

We build cross platform apps for iPhone and Android with native code where camera, offline storage or background sync need it. The office dashboard runs in a browser, and we connect accounting, calendar and payment tools you already rely on. Photos are compressed on the phone so uploads finish even on a slow rooftop connection.

Questions New York landscaping firms ask us.

It depends on the first release we scope together.

An app focused on scheduling, building access and payments is quicker to build than one adding board approvals, fertilizer logs, snow contracts and a client portal. The number of roles, integrations with accounting or property management software and the state of your existing data all affect timing. After scope sign off we agree dated milestones, and you test a working build at each one. We also try to time the launch away from the spring rush.
