Landscaping leads: homeowners asking for a landscaper or tree service
Hodorak finds landscaping leads in public posts: homeowners asking their town subreddit or group who to call for weekly mowing, a fall clean-up, sod for a muddy lawn or a tree that has to come down, and what a fair price looks like. In our read they asked most on Reddit, in city subreddits and in searches like "landscaper" recommend, and Hodorak shows you the post itself, not a list of contacts you buy.

We read every valid source for 3 days and scaled it to a month, and a post seen in two sources is counted once. Max is that whole read; an average source is that read divided by the 25 sources Max can follow, and Starter and Pro are that average times the 3 or 10 sources each plan follows. Each range is 90 to 110 percent of that. Estimates, not promises.
Max follows up to 25 sources; this read found 10 valid ones, so its range uses those 10. The groups and searches of your own towns add to it.
These numbers cover every place we read; one area alone sees less: see Where we found leads.
How to get landscaping leads from people asking for a landscaper now
Buying landscaping leads means paying before you talk to anyone: a shared lead that other crews also call, or an exclusive one that costs more per job. There is a route with no cost per lead. Every week someone with a lawn nobody is cutting, a yard full of leaves or a dead tree over the drive asks their town who to call, and the landscaper who answers first with something useful gets the first conversation.
This guide follows the page: where people ask, the phrases that find them, which posts to answer first, how to reply, and how it compares with buying landscaping leads.
Where we found leads
Three examples of areas where people asked. Hodorak works in any area where people post: add the groups, subreddits and searches of the towns you serve, and you may see more there than here.
| Area | Our estimate | Sources that carry them |
|---|---|---|
| Pennsylvania US-PA | We estimate about 29–35 a month in Pennsylvania |
|
| Any other area | Hodorak searches by keyword, so add the groups of the towns you serve; the area filter hides what is clearly outside. | |
These areas came up in our sources. They are examples, not a ranking of the country: we did not test every area.
Where to find landscaping leads near me
The areas above are only where our sources happened to reach. People ask for a landscaper wherever they have a yard, so the landscaping leads near you are in the places your own customers already talk:
- City and county subreddits, where neighbours ask each other by town. In our read that meant r/westchesterpa, r/ChesterCounty, r/olympia, r/chapelhill, r/Beaverton and r/AskPhilly.
- r/landscaping, where homeowners post a project list (drainage, steps, a retaining wall) and ask who to hire.
- Town recommendation groups on Facebook. Dubbo Recommendations in Australia carried a request for someone to mow, weed and tidy yards that had got out of hand. Most of the 44 Facebook sources we tried had too few asks in 3 days to count, so judge a group over a few weeks.
- Contractors and trades-request groups such as Contractors of San Antonio or Ohio Contractors: each had 1 yard job in our read, one inside a longer job list, one a rental to mow before photos.
To find your town's groups, search Facebook and Reddit for your town or county with words like community, recommendations, ask or neighbors. Read a week of posts before you add one. A small group where someone asks for a lawn guy every week beats a big one full of ads.

Search phrases for landscaping lead generation
People rarely write "landscaping leads". They write the job and the ask. These are the phrases that found requests in our read, apart from the UK ones:
- Asking who to use: "landscaper" recommend (6 requests in our read), "lawn care" recommend (3), "lawn service" recommend, "landscaper recommendations", "landscaping recommendations".
- Looking now: "looking for a landscaper" (on Facebook, 4 of its 4 posts were requests), "ISO landscaper", "yard cleanup" recommend.
- Prices: "landscaper" quote.
- Tree work: "need a tree guy" on Facebook, "tree removal" quote on Reddit, and r/arborists for the odd arborist ask.
- Outside the US: "gardener recommendations" found a request in Australia; UK searches and r/GardeningUK found none in our read.
Use the words of the country you work in: an American asks for a landscaper, a lawn guy or a tree service, a UK customer for a gardener or a tree surgeon, an Australian one for lawn mowing. We did not measure searches with a town's name. Try one with yours next to "landscaper" or "lawn care", and keep it only if it brings asks.

Recommendations for winterizing in-ground sprinkler system Hi all - just moved and the new house has in ground sprinklers. I want to blow them out for winter to prevent damage and would love to go with someone reliable and reputable and reasonably priced. My current air compressor isn’t powerful enough and I don’t want to buy a new one. Would love to benefit from the experience here if you’d be so generous. Any recommendations?
Why it fits: new homeowner wants a reliable company to blow out the in-ground sprinklers before winter
Which landscaping and tree service leads to answer first
Not every request is worth the same. Answer in this order:
- A job with a place and a time of year: leaves to clear in Chapel Hill, a fall clean-up in Highland Park, yards that got out of hand in Dubbo, a muddy rental lawn in Olympia that wants sod before the tenant moves out. These people are choosing now.
- A tree that has to come down, or an arborist wanted in a named city, like the Oklahoma City ask in our read. Tree removal leads need a look before any quote, so offer to come and see it.
- A recurring ask: weekly mowing, spring and fall cleanups, someone whose lawn guy stopped coming. One reply can be a customer for the whole season.
- A quote check ("does this tree trimming proposal seem steep?") only when the person is still choosing. Say what the job involves and offer to look; never trash the other quote.
- A bare "can anyone recommend a lawn care company?" with no detail. Ask what the job is, the size and the street.
Skip landscapers advertising, people selling a mower, plant and weed questions, and someone who plans to do the work themself. Hodorak leaves those out and marks each request with its level, so the first ones on your board are the ones to open.

Why it fits
asks for a lawn service for weekly mowing, cleanups and mulching in West Chester PA
Suggested reply, written by Hodorak; you edit and send it from your own account
For about three quarters of an acre with weekly mowing plus spring and fall cleanups, ask each company to quote the whole season as one package and to list what a visit includes, so you compare like with like. Ask too whether mulch and weeding are in the visit price or billed on top. We look after lawns and beds around West Chester and can walk the property with you and put a season plan in writing. Is most of it open lawn, or are there a lot of beds and trees to work around?

Answer their job first: what you would do, what you need to see to quote it, and when you could come by. Mention your company once, at the end.
How to get landscaping clients out of a public post
The reply above shows the pattern. A good reply reads like a landscaper who knows the job, not like an ad:
- Answer within the hour if you can: a thread fills up within hours, and leaf clean-ups and storm damage go fast.
- Repeat their job back: the size of the lot, how often they want a visit, what the clean-up includes.
- Say one true thing a pro would notice: sod beats seed on a muddy lawn in the wet season, and a season quote is easier to compare than visit by visit.
- Ask what you need to quote: a photo, the access for a mower or a chipper, whether the stump comes out, how many beds there are.
- Mention your company once, at the end, and say where you work.
- Follow the group's rules on self-promotion, and move to a direct message only when the person asks.
Avoid a pasted ad, a link as the whole reply, or a price before you have seen the yard. Those get skipped, and in many groups they get removed.
Buying leads vs Hodorak
Shared leads from lead vendors against public requests nobody sold. Vendor prices are as published on the day we read them.
| Where the lead comes from | Price | Exclusive? | Who else got it | When you learn about it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 99 Calls (exclusive, organic leads)read Nov 8, 2026 | $33.99 per organic landscaping lead on the Growth package, which also has a monthly fee and a setup fee; organic leads are free on Growth Pro, and the page says there is no contract. It shows Google Ads leads at $59 to $233 and Local Services Ads leads at $31 to $72, the 10th to 90th percentile of what businesses paid nationwide | Yes: the page says every lead is sent to just one company | No other company, the page says | In real time, the page says: calls ring your phone and form leads arrive the moment the homeowner sends them |

Free landscaping leads, bought leads or public requests
The table above shows what lead companies publish today. The difference is not only the price:
- Shared leads: the same homeowner reaches several landscapers, and the fastest caller usually wins.
- Exclusive leads: nobody else gets that lead, and you pay for each one, by form or by call.
- Free landscaping leads in public posts: nobody sells them. Anyone in the group can read them too, but you answer in the same conversation where the person asked, and they often give the job, the place and the size up front.
Some landscapers use more than one. Bought leads can fill a slow week; public posts bring the asks from the towns you serve. Searching the groups by hand is free and works, but it takes time every day. Hodorak does the reading and shows you only the requests that fit, for a monthly plan, not a fee per lead.

A routine that keeps the lawn care leads coming through the seasons
Yard work follows the calendar: the spring rush, the summer mowing, the autumn leaves and the storm days when every tree service's phone rings. A short routine keeps you in front of the asks:
- Morning: open the requests from the night and answer the urgent ones first, a tree down, a yard that must be cleared this week.
- Midday: answer the recurring asks and the projects, the people who want a weekly cut, a new lawn or a retaining wall.
- Once a week: look at which groups and searches brought jobs. Drop a source that brings only ads, and add the next town you serve.
Honestly, if most of your work is commercial landscaping leads, HOA contracts or council bids, public posts will be a small part of it, and in the quiet weeks of late autumn there are fewer asks everywhere. For homeowners with a lawn, a tree or a garden that needs a hand this month, the people asking today are the easiest customers to reach.
Questions about this use case
Short answers about the requests, the sources and how you reply.
Is Hodorak a list of landscaping leads I buy?
No. Hodorak does not sell contacts or charge per lead. It shows you public posts from people asking now for a landscaper, a lawn service or a tree service, with a link to the original post, so you answer in the same conversation. Nobody sold that lead to you or to anyone else, but anyone in the group can read it too, so a quick, useful reply matters.
How do I get landscaping leads without buying them?
Follow the places where homeowners ask. In our 3-day read the Reddit search "landscaper" recommend found the most requests, 6, then "lawn care" recommend with 3 and r/landscaping with 2. The Reddit search "landscaper" quote, the city subreddits of West Chester, Chester County, Olympia, Chapel Hill and Beaverton and a recommendations group in Dubbo, Australia had 1 each. Answer the job first, mention your company once, and follow each group's rules.
How many landscaping leads would I see?
In our 3-day read in early November, the 10 valid sources carried 14 requests, about 146 a month, with a post seen in two sources counted once. We tried 120 sources to find those 10. On that read we estimate about 16 to 19 leads a month on Starter, 53 to 64 on Pro and 130 to 160 on Max: estimates, not promises. Starter and Pro count an average source (the read divided by the 25 sources Max can follow) times 3 or 10 sources. The groups and searches of your own towns change it most.
Can I find landscaping leads near me?
Yes, if people in your towns ask in public. Add your city subreddit, your town and county groups, local recommendation and trades-request groups, and searches with your town's name next to "landscaper" or "lawn care". Hodorak reads them, and the area filter hides posts that are clearly outside the places you serve.
Are there free landscaping leads?
The posts are public, so you can search for them by hand every day for free. Hodorak does the reading and shows only the posts that fit your company, with the reason. Free leads by hand cost hours every week; Starter and Pro start with a free trial.
Do tree service leads show up too?
Yes. The request definition covers tree removal, trimming, stump grinding and storm damage as well as lawns, gardens, clean-ups, sod and retaining walls. In our read people asked for an arborist in Oklahoma City, for a company to take down a dead tree in front of their house, and whether a tree trimming proposal was fair. Most tree asks came from tree searches and r/arborists, which had too few posts or requests in 3 days to count as sources, so add them if you take tree work and judge them over a few weeks.
Do lawn care leads show up, or only big projects?
Both. Next to the one-off jobs there are recurring asks: weekly mowing, spring and fall cleanups and mulching for a large lot in West Chester, or a new lawn service in Philadelphia after the old one stopped coming. One good reply there can be a customer for the season, not one job. Say what a regular visit includes and ask the size of the lawn.
Does Hodorak reply or post for me?
No. Hodorak never posts, comments or messages for you. It finds the request and suggests a reply; you open the original post and answer from your own account.
How we measured

- What counts as a request
- A homeowner, tenant, landlord, property manager or business that needs landscaping, lawn, garden or tree work done and asks who to hire: a recommendation for a landscaper, a lawn service, a gardener, a tree service or an arborist, a defined job looking for someone to do it (a tree to remove or trim, a stump to grind, a yard or garden clean-up, leaf removal, hedges, mulch, sod or turf, a new lawn, a garden design, a retaining wall, irrigation or sprinklers, regular mowing or garden maintenance), a quote, or a quote they already hold and want to check while they are still choosing. One-off projects and recurring maintenance both count, and so does someone whose landscaper or lawn guy stopped showing up.
- Left out
- Landscapers, tree companies and lawn services advertising, before-and-after showcases, reviews and thank-you posts, plant, weed and lawn-disease questions with no plan to hire, DIY-only questions, mower and equipment talk, trade talk between landscapers and arborists, companies hiring crews, selling plants, mulch, firewood or equipment, complaints about a council tree with no hiring intent, and fencing, pools, pest control, roofing, gutter cleaning, pressure washing or snow plowing on their own.
- How posts were judged
- By hand, against the written definition above, with a sample of the posts the cue filter left out checked for missed requests. Sample: 570 posts outside the filter, with 0 requests among them.
- Coverage
- Every valid group, subreddit and search was read back to the start of the window, except the Reddit search "landscaper" recommend, which stopped at its page limit a little short of it; its monthly number is scaled from the days it covered. The one valid Facebook source is a group read in full; Facebook searches answered only a few newest posts each, so none counted as a source, and the Facebook numbers are a floor. The Reddit lawn care search and r/westchesterpa had long quiet stretches in our read, so the Reddit numbers are a floor too. We read in early November, when mowing is ending in most of the US and leaf clean-ups are the main ask, so spring and summer may look different. The same request is sometimes posted in more than one place; each copy counts in its own row, and once in the totals.
