Landscaping quotes go cold faster than most trades, because the customer is usually getting three of them. The business that sends first is often the business that wins, and the one that quotes from the ute a day later is quoting into a decision that has already been made. ServicePilot builds the quote from your own price list while you are still on the property.

ServicePilot run sheet for a landscaping crew listing each property, the work and the contact details
What the crew is doing today, and what it was quoted at.

Priced off your list, not guesswork

Turf, mulch, plants, hours, machine hire. Set them once and every quote uses the same numbers.

Sent before you leave the property

Build it on the phone and send it from the driveway. First quote in usually wins.

The follow-up happens on its own

A quote nobody answered is chased automatically. Most lost landscaping work is not lost on price, it is lost to silence.

Landscaping quotes are won on speed, not on price

Ask a landscaper why they lost a job and the answer is usually price. Look at the timing and it is often something else. The customer got three quotes, two arrived within a day, and the third arrived on Thursday for a decision that was made on Tuesday.

Quoting from the property removes most of that gap. You are already standing in the space, you can already see the fall of the land and the access, and the numbers come off a price list you set once.

  1. Photograph what you are pricing
    Photos on the quote reduce the arguments later about what was and was not included.
  2. Stage the big ones
    Price a build in stages so the customer can say yes to the first part without committing to all of it.
  3. Follow up automatically
    Silence is not a no. A quote with no answer gets chased on a schedule, which is where most of the recoverable work is.
