The full answer
Landscaping qualification should protect your estimating time. Not every inquiry deserves a site visit, especially for high-value design or installation work.
Start by identifying the project: maintenance, cleanup, planting, design, hardscaping, lighting, irrigation, drainage, or renovation. Then ask for the property address, desired timeline, rough budget, and whether the caller owns the property or can approve the work.
Ask whether photos, plans, or inspiration images exist. For larger jobs, ask what problem the caller is trying to solve, not just what feature they want. A patio inquiry may really be about hosting, drainage, outdoor cooking, or resale value.
Tinylawn can collect these details before you call back. That helps you prioritize high-fit projects and avoid spending time on vague or low-budget requests.
