Review & Referral Scripts
Review & Referral Request Scripts for Lawn Care Professionals
In the lawn care industry, your reputation is as visible as a freshly striped lawn. Online reviews and neighbor-to-neighbor referrals are what turn a single $50 weekly mow into a $5,000 neighborhood route that saves you time and fuel.
Post-Mow Google Review Request
Send this via text right after you finish a weekly service while the lawn still has fresh stripes.
Hi [Name], I just finished up your lawn service and the yard is looking sharp! If you're happy with the stripes and the cleanup today, would you mind leaving us a quick Google review? Small local businesses like mine really rely on them to stay busy during the spring rush. It only takes a minute and helps us a ton. Here is the link: [Insert Link]
Tips for this scenario
- -Include a photo of their freshly mowed lawn in the text to remind them how good it looks.
- -Send the text within 15 minutes of leaving the property for the highest response rate.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Asking for a review while your mower is running—they can't hear you and you look rushed.
!Waiting until the end of the season to ask; by then, the excitement of a green lawn has worn off.
!Not providing a direct link, making the customer hunt for your business on Google Maps.
!Ignoring negative reviews instead of offering to come back and fix the weed-eating or gate issue.
!Missing new lead calls because you're weed-eating, which makes you look too busy to handle more work.
