Why trust this site

Written by a real operator. Not a content agency.

I started LawnOps.co because I kept getting asked by other operators what software we use and why. I've been running Vista Lawn and Pest across four North Texas markets since 2012. I use this stuff every day.

I don't recommend things I wouldn't use myself. If a product has problems, I'll say so.

"I don't say Service Autopilot anymore when other operators ask me what software to use. I tell them GorillaDesk, RealGreen, or FieldRoutes. That's the honest answer."
