Landscaping splits into two business lines with fundamentally different economics: installation (high-ticket one-time projects) and maintenance (lower-ticket recurring visits that build predictable monthly revenue). The best landscaping contractors acquire installation customers through inbound calls and convert satisfied customers to recurring maintenance. Exclusive installation leads carry the highest immediate value; maintenance conversion creates the long-term base.
