Homeowners who call about landscaping have usually been thinking about the project for weeks or months. When they finally pick up the phone, they've set a rough budget and decided they're ready for estimates. That level of pre-qualification means the inbound landscaping call arrives with strong intent. Close rates run 25-40% for installation calls when estimates are delivered within 24 hours -- and a meaningful percentage of those installation customers convert to recurring maintenance.
