Real Talk: What a Landscape Firm Automated (and What They Didn’t)

Written by James Bennett | May 1, 2025 3:07:40 PM

Not everything needs to be automated — and that’s okay.

However there are 5 Admin Tasks You Shouldn't Be Doing Manually in 2025.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what we helped one small landscaping business automate, and what they chose to keep manual.

✅ What They Automated:

  • Lead enquiry responses

  • Quote follow-up emails

  • Client onboarding form

  • Call booking system

❌ What They Kept Manual:

  • Writing the actual quotes (they wanted a personal touch)

  • Final project walkthroughs

  • Creative client chats (the stuff they love doing)

The Result:

They saved 10+ hours a week — without losing their personal feel.

That’s the goal of automation: not to remove the human touch, but to protect your time so you can spend more of it where it counts.
