Maliru for grounds & landscaping
Contracts, tree works and rounds, confirmed from the van.
Grounds work is many small visits and a few big ones. Maliru runs the contract rounds as routes the crew confirms in one tap, and the tree works as jobs with the evidence a council expects.

What usually goes wrong
- Rounds planned on a whiteboard, changed by text
- Before-and-after photos scattered across phones
- Missed visits found when the client complains
How Maliru fits
- Routes — A week of contract sites as routes, confirmed once, progress visible to the office.
- Field capture — Before-and-after photos attached to the visit, offline if needed.
- Timesheets — Clock in against the round; the normal days approve themselves.
- Fleet & equipment — Vans, trailers and machines with checks and certificates.
- Pay & payroll — Gross pay worked out from approved timesheets and handed to your payroll provider as a file, with an earnings statement in each person's app. Your provider works out tax and take-home pay.

Your board, shaped for grounds & landscaping
Two workstreams a grounds & landscaping operation typically runs, with the columns and statuses it would name. Rename anything; import your own sheet and Maliru builds the board from it.

Questions grounds & landscaping teams ask
Can we show the client the visit happened?
Attach photos and available location stamps to the visit, then export a completion report. Workspace branding is available on Team and above.
What about seasonal changes?
Workstreams and their fields are yours to change; a winter gritting round is another route workstream.
Do crews need to be office-savvy?
No. The field app has five tabs — Today, Work, Capture, Chat and Me — and most days start and end on Today: confirm the round, capture the photos, done.
