@kenblogton We don't have CRM solution in place. We will build one internally.

@qeffect We can hire an assistant to take calls, answer text messages for sure. It depends on the days, some aren't as bad so we can still handle it. On the $250, $50 part, some people will cancel after the first service (even they said they will sign up for maintenance), which is discounted...

@lamarcook maybe have a lead magnet to get some email addresses? We're landscapers and will check it out. It looks like it could be useful. We also made software for landscapers. Open to any collab opportunities. https://app.houseofyards.com

@pinkfreud City dumps in our city can only be used by residents not business.

@makingmusicmag This dumping site must be operating on some thin margins.

@sam8322 It depends on the day. The average is less than 4 hours daily. It's a husband/wife business. We both have full-time jobs. Most of the heavy-duty labor work is done by our crew. Most of the time we spend is facilitating the day-day workflow.

@sam8322 We rather not disclose actual number. We can only say it's 6-figure.

@gordonmarry Oh ya cleaning?

@cathyband I vaguely remember your post and had some discussion IIRC. We have a similar concept but we initially started as landscapers (actually CPA and engineer pair before that), then made an in-house app with instant quote engine to sign up new clients. It may be very similar to your...

@phillipgainey If you meant the tech stacks to develop the software, it's ruby, ruby on rail, and MongoDB.

@carlagrimes would love to, will DM you our app's info.

@carlagrimes funny enough, we launched it a year ago. Maybe cos of SEO, the 3rd country that has the most users came to check out our site is Australia. 2nd is Canada.

EDIT: I posted this on r/Entrepreneur couple weeks ago. It seems to be quite helpful to some. I'll try my luck here. Hope you find it helpful too. This post is mostly for those who’re thinking about starting a landscaping business. If you have one, there may still be some values in it...

@carlagrimes also have a landscaping business in the US but only used jobber as a free trial user. We found it overly complex to use. tbh, we used it mainly to learn what they do because we also have a version competing with them. On a side note, we're considering expanding to Australia. How...

@kaynic Not a chance. We run a landscaping business for years. Each yard is so different. No robots can do such custom work in the next 10 years. Same for plumber. See if it can replace your garbage disposal. Each sink could be different. How, scan it every time and reprogram it? Good luck.

@curiousponderer Sure, just need to make sure you see the trees. Define what you can and how much you will trim, communicate to the clients clearly before you start.

@sarah100 I never understand what build in public means, it sounds like a project update for the public to see?

@curiousponderer We have a landscaping business. We focus on lawn care maintenance (75%) but do tree trimmings often. Many tree trimming jobs come from existing clients. You may get to a point where people want to trim a lot more than what you can do with a $40 clipper. Even a small tree, you...

@daprophecy We initially joined a couple landscape owners groups. We'll mention our app, things like we have an instant price quote feature that helps us as landscaper. We now also made an app for others. The admin or members would report us (just guessing) cos we got kicked out. Then we...

@stevent2323 29 clicks and it only costs $7.92? That's very low CPC. Digital ads takes time. 3 days is a very short time to get leads.
