Tampa: a long storm season

Storm cleanup and tree work arrive in bursts after big storms.

When landscapers miss calls

  • Mowers and blowers drown out the phone
  • Spring rush calls
  • Quote requests on weekends
  • Irrigation or storm-cleanup calls

About 27% of calls to home-services businesses go unanswered, and fewer than 3% of those callers leave a voicemail. Source: Invoca, 2024, industry estimates. Your numbers will differ. Run yours.

Example first text

Hi, this is Tampa Landscaping Co.. Sorry we missed your call - we're out on a job site. What can we help with? Reply with your address and what you're looking for, and we'll follow up. Reply STOP to opt out.

Example business name. You write and approve your own text during setup.

After hours in Eastern time

Landscaping is rarely an emergency, so the 8 AM text is the right default.

Florida: Florida has its own telemarketing law (the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act), which limits sales calls and texts to 8 AM to 8 PM local time. Porchlight's texts are one-time replies to people who just called you, not sales messages, and by default nothing is sent between 8 PM and 8 AM. Not legal advice.

After the job: reviews

Ask after the first visit on a recurring plan, or when a project is done.
