You’ll separate yourself from the crowd instantly with a landscaping sales letter. I know that sounds silly but it’s true. Landscaping companies are not known for their marketing.
If you can mail a professional landscaping sales letter to a highly targeted list of commercial or residential prospects and then follow up with two more letters I am confident you’ll get your money back from the effort.
Hey, if you keep those new clients more than a year you’ll be in the green (no pun intended). And that does not include the extra referrals you’ll get from these new clients.
But what if you hit a home run with your landscaping letter campaign? If you do well on one small mailing to one neighborhood as a test then you know you can repeat it in several other neighborhoods.
Just be sure you follow up with more than one introductory letter.

Dear Name,
There is no question that a beautifully landscaped home reflects well on a homeowner’s values and priorities.
However, the question then becomes: would you benefit more by doing your own landscaping or by hiring a professional landscaping company?

With a professional landscaping service, you never have to worry about the appearance of your lawn, shrubs, trees and gardens, and you can spend much more time pursuing your personal interests.
My name is (Name), owner of (Name of Landscaping Company). I am writing to invite you to accept our offer of a no-obligation consultation of your property to discuss your goals for your property.

Final Thoughts On Marketing Your Landscape Business.
We have not received one direct mail sales letter or even a flyer on our doorstep from a landscaper. The best that anyone has ever come up with in my neighborhood, which is a very desirable area to live and has many homes with large yards, is a business card. Or, a few times a year someone who can barely speak English knocks on our door and asks it they can trim our trees.
Oh, one guy drove up on his dirty moped, all sweaty, and asked if he could Aerate our lawn for a fee. All of these marketing techniques are not very professional.
What do I know about the landscape business? I used to be a landscaper myself. I used to get up to work at 7am and drive a big truck with my partner and do maintenance on large yards. It was hard work and the guy I worked for did nothing but play guitar while we worked our tails off.
Last important tips: Send more than one letter. Follow up and refer to the first and second letters and remind them that the deadline for a free audit or consultation is going to expire. Sell the consultation. Explain why it’s important and different than other consultations they will get. Perhaps you draw up a special report just for their property and go over it with them, and that they can keep it. Be unique.
Also, include a promotional item. If you don’t know why please read the lawn care tips at the bottom of this page.
