Gardens looked after all year, with the sky taken into account.
The only app that looks at the weather before planning your week. Quotes on site, by voice.

Signed on screen, with a record of who and when.
The app speaks your language.
No jargon from someone else's trade here: in your account, each piece of work is a Service.
Types of work already set up in the catalogue:
You worked the whole month and the month made nothing.
«Everyone went out to the smallholding and got caught in the rain at ten. They came back, and the day is paid for all the same.»
The forecast for each job's location goes into the week's plan, and Kwote proposes swapping what won't work for what will — the day before, not on arrival.
«You cut grass for fourteen clients in May. By November six no longer call, and none of them said why.»
The maintenance sits as recurring work with its own interval. The client is told before the visit and the next one books itself.
«The mower broke in August. It cost €700 and never went into any sum at all.»
Machinery, fuel and repairs go into the real cost of an hour, alongside the van and the insurance. It's that number that decides whether the price per m² turns a profit.
«You applied plant protection products with a card that expired a month ago. You'd only have found out if someone had turned up asking.»
The applicator's card holds its expiry date and the warning goes out thirty days ahead, addressed to the person on the crew who holds it.
«You quoted €300 for an abandoned garden. It took three days, a broken strimmer and thirty bags of waste.»
The history is grouped by type of work — mowing, pruning, land clearance, irrigation — and shows where the margin holds up and where it vanished.
The forecast for where the garden actually is, not the city.
A house on a hillside ten kilometres from the city has different weather. Kwote asks for the forecast at each job's coordinates and gives back seven days, garden by garden.
Each day is split into morning, afternoon and evening — seven to one, one to seven, seven to eleven. It's the worst window that decides the day.
- Doesn't work outThunderstorms, snow, rain above five millimetres or wind above forty an hour — no pruning and no spraying
- To watchRain from one millimetre, wind from twenty-eight, frost down to three degrees, heat from thirty-five
- Works outEverything else, and always on the jobs you mark as indoor — greenhouses included
Kwote doesn't touch your diary on its own. It shows you the week days ahead, which is what lets you swap Thursday's pruning for a sheltered maintenance job — instead of discovering the rain with the crew already on the road.
A garden isn't sold once. It's sold twelve times.
A pruning job pays for a day. A monthly maintenance contract pays for the year — and that's the difference between hunting for work every week and knowing, back in January, what you can count on.
Example figures. The €300 quarterly maintenance is worth €100 a month, not €300 — Kwote normalises recurring work to a month so contracts can be added up without lying. And recurring maintenance has an interval in months: you mark one as done and the next books itself into the diary.

Applying plant protection products in Portugal isn't a matter of buying at the merchant and spraying: it requires an applicator's certificate, issued by the DGAV, which expires and has to be renewed. And felling or pruning certain trees requires council authorisation — without it, the work shouldn't start.
You pick gardening at sign-up and Kwote brings this list ready-made, with each document's authority and what expires:
- DGAVPlant protection product applicator's certificateLapses and renews
- Town councilFelling or pruning authorisationBlocks the start
- InsurerPublic liability insuranceLapses and renews
- ClientMaintenance contract
The applicator's certificate is the perfect example of what an app ought to do and almost none does: it lapses in silence, and you only notice when a client asks for it or when an inspector turns up. Kwote warns you when an approved document is within thirty days of expiring, when a worker's certificate lapses, and when the council's reply is past the deadline you gave it. You add whatever you like to the list and decide, document by document, who can see it.
What Kwote takes off your back.
- A quote dictated in front of the gardenYou say out loud what the job involves and the draft builds itself from your catalogue lines and your prices, in the right unit. It goes out before you've put the tools away.
- The forecast for the place, not the cityEach job has its own address and it's the forecast for that address that goes into the week's plan. Heavy rain, thunderstorms or fog change the colour of the day and Kwote suggests the swap.
- The certificate that expires without warningThe applicator's certificate, the insurance, the crew's training. Kwote holds them with their expiry dates and warns you thirty days ahead, instead of you finding out on the day.
- Maintenance that comes knocking againMonthly, quarterly or yearly contracts, with the value normalised to a month. And when the time comes to go back to an old client, it's Kwote that remembers, not you.

Questions from people who look after gardens.
I apply plant protection products. Does Kwote hold my DGAV certificate?
It does, and it's one of the documents that comes in the list when you pick gardening. You record the expiry date and Kwote warns you when there are fewer than thirty days left — which is the real problem with this certificate, because it lapses without anyone noticing.
I need council authorisation to fell a tree. Does that go in?
It does, and it comes marked as a document that blocks the start. Until it's approved, it appears in the list of what's holding that job up, with the authority it was requested from and the response deadline you gave it.
How does the weather change my plan?
Each job has the address where it happens, and it's the forecast for that address that Kwote uses. Drizzle, heavy rain, thunderstorms, fog and too much wind are each treated differently, and the week's plan marks the bad days for outdoor work with a suggested swap.
I do monthly maintenance and one-off jobs. Do they get mixed up?
No. Maintenance sits as recurring work, with an interval and an end date, and Kwote normalises the value to a month so you can add up contracts on different cycles. One-off jobs stay one-off jobs in the same pipeline.
