The yards your crew finishes are your landscaping portfolio

A new paver patio or a fresh bed edge is visible from the sidewalk. GeoUP makes it visible online too, from a check-in your crew does on their phone at the truck.

Landscaping might be the most visual trade there is. A yard goes from bare dirt and dead turf to sod, mulched beds and a lit walkway in a few days, and the neighbors watch it happen. That before and after is exactly what a homeowner wants to see before asking you out for an estimate.

But crews move fast. Three mows before lunch, a cleanup after, an install that runs late. Nobody stops to photograph the finished patio in good light, and if they do, it never leaves the phone. The website gallery got filled once, the week it launched, and has sat ever since.

A GeoUP check-in fits in at the truck: before and after photos, a note on plants and materials, the location. GeoUP drafts the post. Landscaping is crowded in most towns, and the territory map shows where your work is lighting up ground and where it's going dark.

Spring cleanup and mulch refresh

What makes a strong check-in

Show the work your customers can't see.

Stand in the same spot twice

Take the before photo and the after photo from the same corner of the yard at the same height. A matched pair shows the change in a way two random angles never will.

Shoot installs in decent light

Midday sun washes out plantings and makes pavers look flat. If you can, take the finished shot in the morning or late afternoon, or grab another on the next maintenance visit once the beds fill in.

Show the base, not just the top

On patios and walls, a photo of the compacted gravel base, the edge restraint or the drain rock behind the wall tells a homeowner the job will hold up. Most crews only post the finished surface.

Name the plants and the products

Write down the plant varieties, the paver line, the sod type and the irrigation zones. A post that mentions boxwood, feather reed grass and drip on its own zone reads like a landscaper wrote it, because one did.

One check-in, drafted for you

Backyard paver patio and new beds in {neighborhood}

This week we finished a backyard in {neighborhood} that had been patchy lawn and a cracked concrete slab. We broke out the old slab, regraded the yard to move water away from the foundation, and built a 16 by 20 foot paver patio on a compacted gravel base with polymeric sand joints. Along the fence we put in two new beds with boxwood, ornamental grasses and coneflowers, edged in steel and covered with shredded hardwood mulch. The beds are on a new drip zone tied into the existing sprinkler system, so they water on their own schedule.

Busy season, slow season

Keep the map lit all year.

Landscaping lives in spring and fall. Spring is cleanups, installs and sprinkler start-ups. Summer is mowing and the odd patio. Fall brings aeration, overseeding and blowouts, and in colder places winter is snow work or nothing. GeoUP jobs fade from the map over about six months, so yards you finished in May are dimming by Thanksgiving. Checking in your fall work keeps those streets lit through the slow months, right when people start planning spring projects.

Questions from landscapers

Should my crews check in on weekly mowing stops?

Not every one. A mow looks the same every week and makes a thin post. Save check-ins for visits where something changed: a cleanup, an aeration, a new bed, a repaired sprinkler head. Those have real photos worth showing, and each one with a location lights up that street on your map.

There are a lot of landscapers in my area. Does that matter on the map?

It does. How far a job lights up on the GeoUP map depends on how dense the competition is near that address, measured from real nearby businesses. A job on a crowded street lights less ground than one in a quieter area, so the map shows honestly where your presence is thin.

Can I post to Instagram as well as the website?

Yes. A check-in can publish to your website, your Facebook Page, your Instagram business account and LinkedIn. As the owner, you choose which of those each crew member's check-ins go to. If there's no website connected yet, the post can go out by email instead.

What does it cost if I add summer crew?
