The origin story vertical
NexusCRM is a landscaping CRM built inside a real GTA hardscape company and battle-tested through full seasons of interlock, retaining walls, and landscape construction. It turns recorded site walks into priced quotes, tracks live profit on every build, and runs scheduling, invoicing, and crew pay — flat $425/month CAD, unlimited users, all AI included.

NOT TRAINED IN A LAB — NexusCRM's quoting AI was validated line by line against real base, sand, and stone quantities per square foot on live GTA builds, across full seasons, before it was ever sold to anyone.
You already know this
Every hardscape company we've met runs on the same three leaks — quotes that go out late, costs that surface in November, and a schedule that lives on a whiteboard.
You measure a backyard at 6 p.m., then spend the night pricing dig-out, granular base, bedding sand, and stone in a spreadsheet. The quote goes out Thursday. The customer booked someone faster on Tuesday.
Extra loads of ¾ clear, bin swaps, a rented plate compactor, the wall crew's pay — costs scatter across texts and glovebox receipts, so you find out which builds actually made money after the season ends.
Two rain days push everything, the group chat argues about who's on which site, calendars drift out of sync — and the customer still thinks your crew is arriving at 8 a.m. sharp.
Built for this trade first
By speaking your trade's language natively — square feet of interlock, linear feet of wall, loads of granular A — instead of making you translate your business into generic software fields.
| Line item | How you price it | What NexusCRM checks |
|---|---|---|
| Interlock / flagstone | Your $/sq ft by paver class | Up to 25 similar completed jobs |
| Excavation & granular base | Depth by application — patios vs driveways | Your historical base cost per sq ft |
| Retaining & garden walls | Your $/lin ft by block system | Wall-crew sub pay per lin ft on the same job |
| Sod, soil & planting | Your price sheet | Material receipts photographed into the job |
| Bins, disposal & machine time | Flat or per load | Landed on the job P&L — not "overhead" |
Every quote is priced the way hardscape is actually priced — then margin-checked before it leaves the yard.
AI in the field
Like this: you walk the yard talking for two minutes — dig-out, base depth, pattern, wall runs — and a priced draft quote is waiting before you're back in the truck.
Quote accepted → invoice, project, schedule slot, and crew notifications are created automatically. Zero re-typing.
A build season, run properly
The same day you're having now — minus the 9 p.m. spreadsheet, the lost receipts, and the "are we still on for Tuesday?" calls.
Today's scope, site photos, materials, and access notes on their phones. Nobody calls the office — the office is your truck.
Two minutes talking through the dig-out, 12" base, herringbone interlock, and a two-course garden wall. The draft quote is priced before you leave the driveway.
It's under your usual $/lin ft. You bump it and send the quote with two options — standard pavers or premium slab.
Invoice, project, schedule slot, and crew notifications are created automatically. The signed quote snapshot is locked with timestamp and IP.
The stone-yard receipt lands on the job's P&L, itemized by AI. You know the real margin in June — not November.
Flat pricing, CAD
Pro, for almost everyone: it adds voice-to-quote, the Bid Advisor, receipt capture, live job P&L, and payroll — the exact features a multi-crew hardscape company runs on. Solo crews can start on Core at $295/month; design-build firms wanting custom work go Elite.
Annual prepay: 2 months free · Financed implementation available · 12-month initial term, then month-to-month · Full pricing breakdown
A six-person landscape team pays one flat rate. On Jobber that team runs $199–$499/month plus $29 per extra user; on Housecall Pro MAX, $329 plus $35 per user — per public pricing pages and verified user reports, August 2026. See the full comparison.
Straight answers
NexusCRM costs a flat $295–$795/month CAD with unlimited users — most landscaping companies choose Pro at $425/month plus a $5,500 one-time implementation, with every AI feature included. Compare Jobber at $199–$499/month plus $29 per extra user, or Housecall Pro MAX at $329/month plus $35 per user (public pricing pages and verified user reports, August 2026). A six-person landscape crew pays NexusCRM one flat rate; on per-user platforms the meter runs all season. Details on the pricing page.
Yes. NexusCRM was built inside a real GTA contracting company whose bread and butter is interlock, retaining walls, and landscape construction — and it ran that company's daily operations through full seasons before it was ever offered for sale. The AI's draft quotes were validated line by line against real base, sand, and stone quantities per square foot on live jobs. It is landscaping business software in Canada that started as a landscaper's own tool, not a boardroom product.
Yes — because it prices from your numbers, not generic guesses. Record a site walk on your phone and NexusCRM drafts a quote with line items grounded in your own historical quotes. The AI Bid Advisor then checks the margin against your price sheets and up to 25 similar completed jobs — so a driveway quoted light on base depth or a wall priced under your usual per-linear-foot rate gets flagged before you hit send. You review and approve every quote; nothing goes out on its own.
Yes. NexusCRM supports four crew pay models, including per-unit pay — so a wall crew can be paid by the linear foot, an interlock sub by the square foot, and an hourly labourer by the hour, all on the same job. Crew and subcontractor ledgers track what has been earned and paid, crews can self-serve check what they are owed, and every pay line lands on that job's live P&L so you see true margin, not just revenue.
Yes — the pipeline is built for a seasonal trade. Quote all winter and stack spring starts, let follow-up automation rebook last year's clients before the phones go quiet, and see which lead sources actually filled your build season with source ROI analytics. Photo documentation from finished builds feeds next season's sales. Recurring-visit scheduling for weekly maintenance and snow routes is on the roadmap; today those are handled as scheduled jobs you control.
SMS text messaging and online card payments are both on the roadmap, along with QuickBooks Online sync. Today, customers accept quotes online with one tap on a branded quote page (immutable signed snapshots with timestamp and IP), get automatic email updates with open and click tracking, and see project status, photos, and invoices in their own customer portal. Invoices support payment schedules, and HST is handled natively.
