Client Onboarding for Landscaping

The Client Onboarding workflow supports landscaping contractors by standardizing how new clients are introduced to the project process. It includes reviewing design details, confirming scope, setting timelines, and clarifying communication channels. By following this workflow, landscaping companies improve professionalism, reduce misunderstandings, and create consistency across teams. Clients benefit from clear expectations and reliable updates, while contractors gain accountability and efficiency. With this onboarding workflow in place, landscaping businesses can improve client satisfaction, build stronger trust, and set projects up for long-term success.
