The AI
Numbers you can trust. And verify.

FAQs
Why Switchgrass?
For landscapers, not investors.
Switchgrass is an independent, self-funded company focused on helping small businesses thrive while getting more plants in the ground. Turns out those goals work pretty well together.
As a small team, we can talk to every customer and ship improvements quickly. The result is software that keeps getting easier, faster, and more useful with every season.
It's no surprise that customers describe working with Switchgrass as unlike any other company. As one person described it, "I feel like I'm just chatting with a friend who's helping me out."
Easy enough to start during busy season.
