What the Software Does for Gardeners
Six features, all built around the same job: turn a finished visit into a posted review with the least possible work from you. Nothing fluffy. Nothing you'd never use.
SMS review requests
Sent the moment you finish a visit. SMS gets a 90%+ open rate within minutes.
Sentiment gate
Unhappy customers give private feedback. Only happy ones go to Google.
Automatic follow-up nudge
If a customer doesn't respond to the first request, one polite reminder goes out a few days later. Then it stops — no nagging.
Private feedback inbox
Every low rating that didn't go to Google lands in your dashboard with its comment, so you can call the customer back and fix the issue.
Conversion stats
See how many requests you've sent, how many customers clicked through, and how many actually posted a review.
Bulk import past customers
Upload a CSV of recent customers and send a one-off request to all of them — a fast way to bank a wave of reviews.
What Software Like This Solves for Gardeners
Generic CRMs treat a gardening business like a tech startup. Bespoke booking software costs hundreds a month and barely touches reviews. Below are the four specific problems this software was built to fix.
Regular maintenance customers never think to review ongoing work
You compete with everyone who owns a lawnmower
Seasonal demand means winter income drops dramatically
Your work changes with the seasons but your online presence stays static
Top-ranking gardeners typically have 20-50 Google reviews.
Why Gardeners Need Review Software in the First Place
Gardening is a trust and taste business. Customers want someone who respects their garden and turns up reliably. Reviews about consistency, care, and the garden looking better than ever are what fill your diary. Software solves the asking problem at scale — you can't do this by hand and run a business at the same time.
"gardener near me"
Google shows the top three results for this search based heavily on review count, rating, and recency. Most clicks go to those three.
Trust signal
For a gardening business, reviews are the first social proof potential customers see — long before they ever talk to you.
Permanent asset
Unlike Bark, Google reviews are free, owned by you, and don't disappear when you stop paying.
Designed Around the Reality of Gardening Work
From the busy week of a gardener juggling a regular garden maintenance and a garden clearance on the same day, to the slow weeks — the software pulls its weight in both.
regular garden maintenance
A customer who's just had a regular garden maintenance from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
garden clearance
A customer who's just had a garden clearance from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
lawn care
A customer who's just had a lawn care from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
hedge trimming
A customer who's just had a hedge trimming from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
Seasonality note: Peak demand March through October — bank reviews in your quiet months so your profile is strongest going into the busy season.

Questions About the Software
What features does the software include for gardeners?+
SMS review requests, an automatic follow-up nudge, sentiment-gated routing (so unhappy customers go to private feedback, not Google), a private feedback inbox, a stats dashboard showing requests sent and conversions, your existing Google reviews displayed in-app, and CSV bulk import. Nothing bolted on you'd never use.
Does it work on my phone?+
Yes — that's the point. The whole interface is built to be used between visits on a phone. Add a customer in under 15 seconds.
What's the difference between this and free Google review request links?+
A static link doesn't get sent, doesn't filter unhappy customers out, and doesn't tell you who hasn't reviewed yet. The software does all three.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Monthly rolling — cancel from the dashboard with one click. No retention calls, no contracts to wriggle out of.
Software that earns its keep — for gardeners.
No setup fees, no annual contracts, no per-seat pricing. Just the features that move your review count up and your admin down.
