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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do exclusive landscaping leads work?
Exclusive landscaping leads are inbound phone calls from homeowners seeking landscaping services in your area. You pay per qualified call over 60 seconds -- no competing landscapers receive the same contact.
What landscaping services generate the most calls?
Landscape design and installation, irrigation installation and repair, lawn maintenance, sod installation, tree trimming, and hardscaping (patios, retaining walls) generate the highest call volumes.
What is the close rate on exclusive landscaping calls?
Exclusive installation calls close at 25-40% when estimates are delivered within 24 hours. Maintenance calls close at 40-55% -- homeowners calling for recurring service have a specific ongoing need.
