STRATA for landscaping and lawn-care operators. The five operating gaps that cost shops recoverable maintenance-contract revenue every month.
Platforms at v1: LMN, Aspire, ServiceTitan, Jobber, Real Green
The operating gaps
Named in operator language. One paragraph each.
- 01
Maintenance-contract renewal cadence at end of season
Renewal letters were on the plan and went out late. The lapse opens the door for a competitor pitch. Follow-Up Automation installs the seasonal sequencing.
- 02
Estimate follow-up on design-build and hardscape bids
High-ticket bids ($5K and up) close at multiples with proper 48-hour and 7-day follow-up. The cadence is on the plan and inconsistently executed.
- 03
Inbound new-property inquiry response
Spring inbound surges from new homeowners abandon at the office capacity ceiling. Speed-to-Lead routing closes the gap.
- 04
Dormant customer reactivation for seasonal services
Past one-time customers respond to pre-season reactivation (spring cleanup, fall leaf, snow removal) at predictable rates.
- 05
Internal reporting on route density, crew utilization, and renewal rate
Production by route, crew hours, and renewal rate stitch from the field-management system and the accounting system.
The Revenue Audit
Know your specific number before you commit to anything.
The Revenue Audit for landscaping operators is a fifteen-minute working session against a field-management export and a recent month of estimate-and-renewal data. We calculate recoverable revenue across maintenance-renewal consistency, bid follow-up, and seasonal reactivation. The retainer is sized against the figure. Honest no on the call.
- A specific dollar figure of recoverable revenue, calculated against your own data.
- A vertical-specific gap diagnosis named in operator language, not marketing language.
- A reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.
- A retainer sized against the figure, or an honest no on the call.
Insurance, HVAC, and dental are our installation wedges at v1. We accept Revenue Audits in landscaping and run them against the same diagnostic; the engagement timeline is set during the call.

Proof
Across the audits the firm has run, the typical recoverable figure on a $1M to $5M book is $30,000 to $90,000 per year. Your figure is specific to your book.
STRATA is quiet about engagements in flight.
References are matched to your vertical and available on the audit call. Case studies are published when the customer is ready to be named. What we can tell you: the audit call will include a reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.
Operational questions
What operators ask before the audit call.
What field-management platforms does STRATA integrate with at v1?+
Does this work for a 3-crew operation?+
Will my crew leaders need a new system?+
How fast does renewal cadence produce results?+
What does the prospect bring to the audit call?+
How the engagement is governed
Three structural promises. All on the record.
The Honest No
If the Revenue Audit shows the recoverable revenue does not justify the retainer, the firm says so on the audit call. STRATA is not the right fit for every business in a vertical, and we name that directly.
The Pause Clause
If the recovered revenue does not exceed the monthly retainer within the first 60 days of deployment, the engagement pauses until the gap is closed.
Month-to-month
The first 90 days of any STRATA engagement is month-to-month. Long-term commitments are earned by operational performance, not signatures.
