Landscaping & garden care
For teams of 5+ people
We run 7 crews and 15 staff on one system. You can run yours on it too.
Maintenance rounds, construction jobs, quoting, rostering, receipts and job costing in one login. Not a demo account — the system our own crews use across Sydney every day. PG Automations is the company; Op3ro is the software it builds.
- Same-day quotes off your own plant and labour rates.
- Rounds that reschedule when a crew gets pulled onto a build.
- Job margin on the day, not next quarter.

43 hrs/week reclaimed · 60% automatedWant to see it actually working? We'll send you a walkthrough of the real system running our 7-crew Sydney trade business — quoting a job, rostering the week, capturing receipts on site. No slides.
The business that answers first and prices first wins the job. If your rounds live on a whiteboard and your quotes are written on Sunday night, you are losing work you already had the capacity to do.
That's our own crew, not a stock photo
Flawless Gardens · Northern Beaches, Sydney — the 7-crew business we own and run on Op3ro. We don't run landscaping & garden care, we build the system that runs it: quoted, rostered and costed in one place.
Three things every landscaping business loses money on
Maintenance
Rounds slipping a week at a time
A crew gets pulled onto a construction job, three maintenance visits push out, and nobody tells the client until they ring about the grass. Rounds should reschedule themselves against crew availability, not sit on a whiteboard.
Overdue queue
3 slipping- Maintenance · 6-weekly22d overdue$480
- Maintenance · 6-weekly14d overdue$1,260
- Maintenance · 6-weekly9d overdue$340
Every recurring visit carries its own due date, and anything slipping lands in one queue you reschedule in a click.
Quoting
Quotes written Sunday night
Measurements in a notebook, plant rates in a two-year-old spreadsheet, and the quote lands Wednesday. The customer took the one that arrived Monday, and it was not cheaper — it was first.
One person · under an hour
- 01TakeoffMeasured from plan
- 02Local supplier pricing3 suppliers compared$11.40/ea · best price
- 03ProposalRendered and priced
- 04Into scheduleWon → rostered
Measure once and the system prices it off live supplier rates, writes the proposal and drops the won job straight into the schedule.
Margin
The job lost money and you found out at BAS
Turf, soil and dump fees on three different cards. Hours texted in. By the quarter you know the job ran under, but not which part of it did.
Labour variance · this month
| Job | Est | Actual | Var |
|---|---|---|---|
| J-10391 | 18h | 26h | +8.0h |
| J-10402 | 12h | 11h | -1.0h |
| J-10417 | 30h | 37.5h | +7.5h |
| J-10428 | 8h | 8h | 0.0h |
| J-10433 | 24h | 21h | -3.0h |
Estimated hours sit beside actual hours on every job, cross-checked against GPS, so the variance shows up this week instead of at BAS.
And you’re paying nine companies for the privilege.
Tick what you pay for now. Op3ro is a system you own, hosted — not nine licences that grow every time you hire.

Simpro is commonly sold on three to five year lock-in contracts with annual increases around CPI + 5%. Op3ro is a one-time build. There is nothing to lock into and nothing to increase.
That’s on top of the time. Op3ro replaces the lot with one system you own — so the licences stop and the admin stops with them.
Configured to your services, your rates, your compliance
- Rounds, routes and yard stock scheduled together
- Quotes from your own rates
- Receipts coded on site
- Crew hours from a time clock
- Job profit the same afternoon
- Op3ro AI on the missed calls
The call you miss at 4:50pm is the job that goes to someone else.
Op3ro answers, and because it reads the same database as your schedule, quotes and invoices, it knows who is calling and what is open. It books into a real slot instead of asking someone to ring back.

Who built itPatrick Goodyer. Software developer. Not a tradesman.
I've never been on the tools. No trade background, no qualification, never swung a hammer for money. What I do have is eight years and 300+ automation projects behind me, and a 100% job success record in the top 0.5% of Upwork's 17 million freelancers.
In July 2025 we bought a small landscaping business that ran on spreadsheets, phone calls and one person's memory. Twelve months later: 7 crews, 15 staff, about $200k a month, and the back office never grew to match. That's not because I'm a better landscaper than you — I'm not one at all. It's because the admin runs itself.
The walkthrough is the live account, not a demo tenant: quoting a job, rostering the week, capturing receipts on site. 1,003 jobs have gone through it.

I was in the top 0.5% of freelancers on Upwork (Expert-Vetted, 100% Job Success), helping 300+ clients around the world structure and systemise how they operate. These are their reviews.
“Patrick is the best consultant I've worked with so far. He's extremely professional, super knowledgeable and extremely meticulous in his work.”
“A problem I spent weeks trying to figure out, Pat did in a blink of an eye. Truly a wizard in saving time for business owners. Already passed on his details to a few friends. 10/10.”
“He figured out how to do something that was very complex, with lots of moving parts. Probably never been done before. If you are looking for a creative, out of box thinker, I highly recommend Patrick.”
“Pat was sensational. He was able to deliver on everything that he said he would, even when working on a solution for a system that he had no prior experience with.”
“Patrick was always available and was very knowledgeable about Monday.com. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a hand with process automation.”

“He completed the task effectively and efficiently, but also offered to record a video explaining what he'd done so that I didn't run into the same issue again.”
“Patrick is extremely knowledgeable about the Gcal and Zoom APIs, and managed to resolve a range of problems for me within an hour consultation.”
“Patrick is fantastic. His communication is second to none, and the work he completed was exactly as briefed. I couldn't recommend Patrick highly enough!”

“Patrick did an amazing job that seemed very complicated to me. He knows automations and SMS like the back of his hand.”
“Patrick was amazing and local to me which was great to call and chat about things. He built what I asked to be built and was always contactable.”
See it running before you decide anything
Flawless Gardens · Northern Beaches, Sydney — our own business, and the proof the system holds up on real jobs every day.
The three questions we get asked first
We already run job management software.
Then keep it. We build around what you already pay for and remove the re-keying between it, your spreadsheets and your accounting. Replacing a working system on day one is how projects fail.
Our work is too specific to automate.
It is not the work that is specific, it is the judgement. We automate the lookups, the assembly and the chasing, and leave the judgement with your people where it belongs.
How long before something works?
We start with the single worst bottleneck and get a first working improvement in quickly. Then we measure it and keep improving the next problem with you.
Before you hire an automation consultant.
Almost every consultant selling AI to trade businesses has never run one. They have never quoted a job at 9pm, never had a crew standing around waiting on a delivery, never chased a progress claim past the cut-off. They have helped clients in the industry. That is not the same thing, and it is why most of these projects quietly fail — they map a process they have only ever been told about.
We own and operate a Sydney trade business with 7 crews, 15 staff and about $200k a month. Every process we sell you, we run ourselves, every day.
Ask any other consultant the same question we’d expect from you: what’s your trade business, and can we come and watch it run?

We'll look at where your work comes from, where it leaks, and what fixing it is worth. You leave with a 90-day plan, whether or not we work together.
