Quote and seasonal follow-up for landscapers
Landscapers follow up with AI by sending a short message after every quote that did not get a reply, and by reaching out to past clients at the points in the year when their yard needs something: spring cleanup, summer irrigation checks, fall leaf removal, winter pruning. A person approves the wording once, and it runs on its own.

Quotes that never got an answer
Homeowners say they will think about it, then forget. A note a few days later with an easy yes, like a time you can start, often revives the job. If they do not reply to the second note, leave them alone.
Quotes for big projects like patios, walls and lighting deserve a longer track: weeks, not days, between touches.
Follow the calendar of the yard
Lawns have a rhythm. Aeration and overseeding in the fall in many regions, mulch in spring, irrigation startup before summer. Past clients appreciate the reminder when it fits what their yard needs.
Recover lapsed accounts
A client who stopped service last year had a reason. A short note asking if anything went wrong, with no pressure, brings some back and tells you something useful even when they do not.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
A quote for a retaining wall went out two weeks ago. A follow-up asks if the timing or the materials need adjusting.
In late summer, clients with irrigation get a note about a pre-winter check.
A client who got a lighting quote last winter is asked in spring if they want to revisit it.

Questions
How many follow-ups is too many?
Two or three on a quote. After that, stop. Seasonal notes are a different rhythm.
Do I need consent to text?
Yes, texting rules apply. Get agreement and honor opt-outs.
Should follow-ups mention price?
Mention scope and timing first. The price is already in the quote.
