Austin, TX · Updated daily 7am

Austin landscaping leadsNew Austin homes and pools that still need a yard.

Landscaping and irrigation are never on an Austin permit. A new home needs sod, beds and sprinklers before the city signs off; a new pool leaves the backyard torn up. Fortific sends you both the morning after the permit is issued.

01The problem

Why landscaping and irrigation contractors miss these jobs.

Today
  • ✕Maintenance pays the bills, installs grow the business

    Mowing routes are steady but thin. The margin is in installs, and those come from builders and new pool owners.

  • ✕You find out after the yard is done

    By the time a new home has a For Sale sign, someone already laid the sod.

  • ✕Irrigation is a separate sale nobody tells you about

    Irrigation licensing doesn't make you visible. Builders still have to find someone for every lot.

With Fortific
  • ✓New builds with the builder's phone

    New homes and commercial buildings, each with the general contractor who'll hire landscaping before final.

  • ✓New pools with the owner's address

    A pool dig wrecks the yard. We send the owner of record's mailing address so you can offer the restoration.

  • ✓Months of lead time

    Landscape is one of the last trades on a new build. You'll know about the job long before the builder starts calling around.

03How it works

Three steps from the city’s permit to your phone.

  1. 0106:00 CT

    The city files it

    Austin publishes every permit it issues. We pull the full feed each morning, so nothing slips past.

  2. 0206:05 CT

    We find who's missing

    Each permit is decoded into plain English and checked against every sub-permit on the job, so we know which contractors are named and which trades it still needs.

  3. 0307:00 CT

    You make the first call

    New homes with the builder's phone and new pools with the owner's mailing address, in your ZIP codes.

09Questions

landscaping leads, straight answers.

Who do I contact on a landscaping lead?+

On new homes and commercial buildings, the builder, with their phone when the city lists it. On new pools, the owner of record, with a mailing address from the appraisal district for postcards or a door knock.

Do you send lawn care or maintenance leads?+

Not directly. Maintenance doesn't need a permit. But a new home or a new pool is exactly when an owner picks a maintenance company.

Does it cover the suburbs?+

Austin city permits today. The surrounding suburbs are next.

How accurate are the leads?+

Every lead comes straight from a permit the city issued, checked against every sub-permit on the same job, so we know who's already named. The "why" line tells you exactly which rule made it a lead. The job value and contractor phone are whatever the city recorded; when the city left them blank, so do we.

Do you have the homeowner's phone number?+

No phone numbers. Most leads are the contractor running the job, with their phone when the city lists it, which is most of the time. For work that follows a job, like a fence after a new pool, you get the owner of record and their mailing address from the Travis Central Appraisal District's public tax roll, ready for a mailer, plus whether they live there and when they bought. Owners who've had the appraisal district keep their records confidential are never included.

How is this different from other permit lead lists?+

Most lists sort permits by the trade on the permit, so a roofer gets a list of roofs other roofers already sold. We sort by the trades the job still needs. We check every sub-permit filed for the job so we never send you one where your trade is already named, and every lead says in one line why it's yours.

Is it legal to contact builders and owners this way?+

Yes. Building permits and the appraisal roll are public records, and calling a contractor about work on their job is ordinary business. Owner records are for mail outreach only, which you agree to in our terms, and we remove any owner who asks. You're responsible for following do-not-call and anti-solicitation rules where they apply.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. It's month to month with a 14-day free trial and no contract. Cancel or update your card anytime from the link in any digest email.

Is this only Austin?+

Austin is first. Travis and Williamson county suburbs are next, followed by San Antonio, Dallas and Houston.
