This is useful when the same service has different prices based on yard size, package level, property type, or service complexity.
When to use pricing tiers
Use Tiered pricing when:
The same service has multiple package levels
Pricing changes by yard size, service level, or property type
You want reusable price options in one service
You want to quickly select the right price in a proposal
Use Simple price when:
The service is priced the same way every time
The price uses one fixed rate
You do not need multiple package options
Where to create pricing tiers
Go to Settings → Favorites → Services.
Click Create new or open an existing service.
The New Service panel opens.
Create a tiered service
Enter a Service name.
Example:Lawn MowingOptional: click + Service description and add a short description the client will see.
Example:Weekly mowing, edging, and cleanup for residential lawns.In the Base Price section, switch from Simple price to Tiered.
Choose how the service is priced:
Flat price
Per hour
Per sq. foot
Per 1,000 sq. feet
Per acre
Per foot
Per 1,000 feet
Per quantity
When Tiered is selected, the price varies by tier. The actual price is entered in each tier row.
Add pricing tiers
In the Tiers section:
Enter a tier name.
Example:Small yard up to 2,500 sq ftEnter the price for that tier.
Click or tap + Add tier to add more tiers.
Remove a tier with X if needed.
You must keep at least two tiers for tiered pricing.
Example:
Tier | Price |
Small yard up to 2,500 sq ft | $45 |
Medium yard 2,500–6,000 sq ft | $65 |
Large yard 6,000–10,000 sq ft | $95 |
Per hour: productivity rates
If you select Per hour as the price unit, Duranta shows a Details section with two additional fields: Unit and Rate.
This lets you bill hourly even when the job is measured by something else, such as square feet, acres, cubic yards, linear feet, or quantity. Duranta converts the measurement into estimated hours on the proposal.
Unit
Unit defines what your hourly rate is based on.
Unit | What it means | Example use |
Hours | Straight time billing | Fixed-duration work or time and materials |
sq ft per hour | Crew productivity by square feet | Lawn mowing or bed maintenance |
acres per hour | Crew productivity by acres | Large-property mowing |
cu yd per hour | Crew productivity by cubic yards | Mulch spreading or soil moving |
linear ft per hour | Crew productivity by linear feet | Edging, hedge trimming, or fencing |
qty per hour | Crew productivity by quantity | Plant installation or item placement |
Rate
Rate is the productivity number for the selected unit.
Examples:
If Unit = Hours, enter the number of hours the service takes.
Example:1.5for a 90-minute service.If Unit = sq ft per hour, enter how many square feet your crew completes in one hour.
Example:2000means your crew covers 2,000 sq ft per hour.
How the price is calculated
total hours = measured quantity ÷ rate
total price = total hours × price per hour
Example:
Lawn mowing price: $80/hour
Rate: 2,000 sq ft per hour
Property size: 6,000 sq ft
Calculation:
6,000 sq ft ÷ 2,000 sq ft per hour = 3 hours
3 hours × $80/hour = $240
Final price: $240.
Save the service
When you are done, click or tap Save.
The tiered service is saved in Favorites → Services and can be reused when creating proposals.

You can also create and use service pricing tiers in the mobile app. The steps are the same, and you can follow the same workflow shown above.
Open the Duranta mobile app.
Go to More → Favorites → Services.
Tap the + button or open an existing service.
Switch Base Price from Simple price to Tiered pricing.
Add your tiers, prices, and optional settings.
Tap Save.
Select a service area in a proposal
When adding a service to a proposal, you can choose the service area in several ways (same as on the web):
Select an already measured category, such as Lawn
Choose an area from the Service Area dropdown
Select individual measured segments
Draw the service area manually on the map
Once the service area is selected or drawn, choose the saved service from Favorites, select the tier, and Duranta applies the matching price automatically.
Tips
Use client-friendly tier names like Small yard instead of Tier 1.
Sort tiers from lowest to highest price.
Keep tiers simple. Three to five tiers is usually enough.
Use materials and charges for shared costs like dump fees, equipment fees, or delivery.
Add a minimum price if the lowest tier should never fall below a set amount.
