Week 7 executed the tiered pricing analysis with updated rates while advancing portal development and completing integration architecture for Deep Lawn and Stripe.

Pricing Analysis Executed

Tiered pricing strategy implemented with property size-based rate updates for 2026

Tiered Pricing Implementation

  • Property size tier definitions finalized
  • Service-specific rate adjustments applied
  • Margin normalization across buckets
  • Small property pricing corrections
  • 2026 rate cards generated

Pricing Report Deliverables

  • Complete rate comparison tables
  • Tier-by-tier pricing breakdown
  • Projected margin improvements
  • Revenue impact projections
  • Implementation recommendations

Service × Property Size Pricing

Rate analysis by service type and property size for targeted pricing adjustments

Mowing Services

  • Under 4K sqft: Base rate increase
  • 4K-8K sqft: Optimized pricing
  • 8K-12K sqft: Competitive tier
  • 12K+ sqft: Volume discount tier

Fertilization

  • Per-application rates by sqft tier
  • Material cost factored per bucket

Aeration & Seeding

  • Equipment time-based pricing
  • Seed coverage rates by tier
  • Combo service discounts

Leaf Removal & Cleanup

  • Labor-intensive service adjustments
  • Property size premiums for small lots
  • Efficiency gains at larger properties

Key Finding: Each service type has unique cost drivers — mowing scales with property size, while fertilization depends on materials, and leaf removal is labor-dominant

Customer Portal Development

Modern self-service portal advancing with core features implemented

Components Built

  • Authentication with NextAuth.js
  • Customer dashboard layout
  • Service history display
  • Location management views

API Routes Implemented

  • /api/customer/locations
  • /api/customer/services
  • /api/estimate/services-pricing
  • /api/account/create-portal-login

ColdFusion Parity: Service display logic, pricing calculations, and order flow designed to match existing portal behavior exactly

Deep Lawn Integration Planning

Automated property measurement for instant quote generation

Integration Design

  • API client with robust parsing
  • Address validation flow
  • Measurement caching system
  • Confidence scoring

Database Schema

  • deep_lawn_measurements table
  • Lawn area, lot area, yard breakdown
  • Customer/location linking
  • Webhook handling structure

User Flow: Customer enters address → Deep Lawn measures property → System calculates instant pricing → Customer selects services → Checkout

Stripe Payment Architecture

Three payment models designed for comprehensive billing flexibility

Payment Models

  • Subscription: Monthly recurring billing
  • Upfront: Full season with 5% discount
  • Labor-Based: Pay after service completion

Architecture Features

  • Non-invasive overlay design
  • stripe_integration database
  • Webhook event processing
  • Legacy system sync

Key Principle: Stripe data lives in separate database — legacy tables remain untouched, with selective write-back for payment recording
