Grounds work changes with the property
A garden is not clean or dirty on a fixed weekly cycle. Growth, rain, drought, guest occupancy and specialist jobs all change what should happen and how long it should take. i3nb turns those conditions into a daily plan.
Individuals can work alone or be grouped into a stable crew. The crew is planned as one operational unit, with aligned arrivals and a mirrored route for every member, while properties not authorized for the whole crew remain solo work.
Crew grouping
Combine two or more gardeners into a team, set faster-work assumptions, and choose whether time is billed once or per member.
Need-based visits
Balance fixed weekdays with growth, overdue work, occupancy restrictions and deep jobs that cannot be reduced to a weekly checkbox.
Practical routing
Urgent work goes first, then nearby stops are sequenced with travel, work hours, daily limits and lunch considered.
Weather response
Rain can suppress watering, prolonged dry periods can surface emergency watering, and washed-out work can move into a controlled catch-up plan.
One planner for solo work and real crews
Team grouping is more than assigning the same stop twice. The planner treats a crew’s permissions, time and route as a single schedulable unit.
Shared authorization.
A property becomes a crew stop only when every crew member is authorized for it. Partial authorization falls back to appropriate solo work.
Aligned arrival.
Paired stops are timed together and mirrored into each member’s day, avoiding two apparently correct plans that put the crew in different places.
Crew-speed controls.
Hosts can model the faster completion expected from a team and choose regular or per-member billing minutes.
Fair load placement.
Priority, current load and proximity help choose among eligible solo gardeners instead of always filling the same person first.
The visit responds to the garden and the guest
Property-specific rules can protect the guest experience without allowing important maintenance to disappear.
Occupancy modes.
An occupied property can allow a normal visit, front-only work or no visit, depending on the rule the host sets.
Maintain-to-standard logic.
Growth rates and measured conditions can make a visit due before a fixed cycle would—or hold it back when it is not yet needed.
Deep sessions.
Mower work, property-line hedges and other longer jobs can be separated from the ordinary maintenance duration.
Weather-aware exceptions.
Rainfall and dry-day history can alter watering plans and create visible washout or drought responses instead of guesswork.
A route the field team can follow
The final schedule accounts for movement between properties and packages the information into a practical daily brief.
Neighborhood clustering.
Nearby work is favored after urgent stops, reducing needless cross-town travel and making walking clusters possible.
Day boundaries.
Working windows, travel time, lunch and overflow are part of route construction rather than surprises discovered after assignment.
Bilingual 7 a.m. plan.
Gardeners can receive the full route, map, work notes and permitted property information in a WhatsApp-friendly daily brief.
Operational context.
Equipment notes and role-filtered access, Wi-Fi and site instructions travel with the stop when the worker is permitted to see them.
How it works
- Describe each property. Set visit patterns, growth or condition rules, occupancy behavior and specialist work.
- Authorize people and form crews. Choose who can serve each property, then group compatible gardeners when teamwork is useful.
- Generate the operational day. Demand, urgency, eligibility and location become an ordered, timed route.
- Send one field-ready brief. Each gardener receives the stops and permitted context needed to complete the day.
Questions
Can two gardeners be scheduled as one team?
Yes. Two or more gardeners can be grouped into a crew. Eligible stops, route timing and the daily plan are mirrored to the members, with configurable speed and billing behavior.
What happens when only one crew member is authorized for a property?
That property does not become a crew stop. The planner keeps authorization boundaries intact and can schedule it as solo work for an eligible gardener.
Does weather automatically cancel every visit?
No. Weather affects the relevant work rules, such as watering, washouts and drought response. The result remains a visible plan or exception rather than a blanket cancellation.
