Your whole season is decided in a few weeks.

Spring arrives, everybody rings at once, and by autumn all that is left is the maintenance contracts. Here is what Traxo takes on, job by job — to fill the season in advance and even out the rest of the year.

In short

A website that gets you found in local searches with your finished work, enquiries that arrive with the area and the access, quoting visits grouped together, a deposit that holds the start date, recurring maintenance contracts, and the reviews that get the neighbours to sign.

March

the month when everything is decided: the enquiries all arrive within three weeks.

quotes asked for on average for a landscaping project.

8 months

of visibility on your diary when the maintenance contracts are booked in advance.

01

A landscaper is judged on what they have already built

A landscaping project is a purchase of several thousand euros, and nobody hands that over on the strength of a cheaper quote: the customer wants to see patios, paths and finished gardens, ideally in their own town.

Traxo sets up your website and your Google listing with your finished work sorted by type of job and by town, plus a page for each service. That is what gets you found directly, ahead of the lead-generation platforms that sell your customer three times over.

  • Finished work sorted by type of job and by town
  • A page for each service and each area you cover
  • Google listing and Maps kept up to date, with your site photos

In spring, the phone rings ten times a day

In March and April you are on site from morning to night and the enquiries all come at once. The ones you don't ring back the same day are lost: the customer has had two other firms out in the meantime.

The AI receptionist takes the call and notes the kind of project, the area, the town, the timescale they want and the rough budget. You get something you can price, and the visits get booked without you ringing anyone back.

Jobs in full days, visits grouped, the weather allowed for

Your jobs run for days, your quoting visits take thirty minutes, and rain moves everything. Mixed into one calendar, the quoting visit breaks a day of planting and the reshuffling takes ten phone calls.

Traxo blocks the jobs out in full days and groups the quoting visits at the end of the day or over a dedicated half-day. A job pushed back by the weather is moved in one go, and the customers affected are told automatically.

The quote goes out that evening, the deposit holds the date

A landscaping quote sent a week after the visit is lost: the customer has signed with whoever replied the next day. And a date promised with no deposit always frees up at the worst moment, when the season is already full.

The quote is put together from your phone, using your usual headings — labour, plants, materials, waste removal — and signed online. The deposit paid at signature holds the week of work and pays for the supplies.

Common mistake

Holding a week in May on a verbal agreement. In peak season a lost week can't be replaced: all your other customers are already booked in.

05

The regular maintenance that fills the autumn

Landscaping makes the spring's turnover; maintenance makes the year's. Mowing, pruning, opening and closing pools: those are the visits that keep you from an empty winter.

At the end of a job, Traxo offers the customer the matching maintenance contract, collected and scheduled in advance. The visits are booked and reminded, and the review request goes out at handover, when the garden looks its best.

“Offering the maintenance contract at the end of the job changed our autumns. We don't go looking for work in October any more.”

Common questions

Nobody is asking you to. The point is that the visit counts: the area, the access, the slope, the waste and the rough budget are known before you get in the van, and you stop driving out for nothing.
