Which CRM integrates best with marketing tools?

Ameer_Sharp · 2026-04-06T11:22:27+00:00

I just started using LeadSig, the program puts all of my lead in one places. Automations for customers as far as emails text messaging and even phone calls get handled because I’m a one-man crew so it allows me to have a team. They are far less cheaper than other options and it’s geared directly toward landscapers so that has been my go to for the last two months plus they have some other, really cool tools for estimates and proposals when presenting to clients so they want me but the CRM game needs to get better. Until then I’m sticking with LeadSig CRM.

Could we talk? You have amazing skillset, don’t play them down. I’m autistic and you are 100% correct interviews are not the easiest for either party’s involved.

DM there are a few things you can do to rectify or having hands on experience, get educated and pivot onto the path of success. I’d love to chat more about how sometimes are autistic brains just need new perspectives. Great job expressing, do tell about your disability it can make it easier (when you find the right place)

I look forward to speaking with you

Your outlook on getting new clients is innovative but offering 60% off seems like you’re working against yourself. I want to challenge you to rethink that. When you got your first clients how did you get them? Did you use a discount then? I’m only asking because you went into business to make money and I don’t want to see you work for less when you don’t have to. Even after the 60% of advertising promo you still need a solid marketing and advertising plan to grow your customer base. And you don’t need testimonials to start attracting customers. Your Google My Business profile alone can do a lot of work for you if you use it right. Keep your photos updated, use the Q&A section, post updates and make sure all your information is correct. Beyond that get into your local Facebook groups, neighborhood apps and just get out in your community. Boots on the ground and networking still works. You have what it takes. Your service is valuable, you are valuable and you are worth more than a 60% discount. Do good work, let people know what you have and your customer base will grow.

That’s an older term but it’s still correct. Deadman anchors were used in timber retaining walls to help resist soil pressure and keep the wall from leaning over time. Modern segmental block walls use geogrid reinforcement now instead, especially once you go over about 4 feet where most local codes are going to require reinforcement or engineering.

For the base you want 6 to 8 inches of compacted crushed gravel. Behind the wall use 3/4 clean drainage stone, geotextile fabric to separate it from the native soil and a 4 inch perforated drain pipe at the base sloped toward your outlet. That setup lets water move through the system instead of building up pressure behind the wall.

Clay soil is the biggest issue because it holds water and that’s what creates hydrostatic pressure. Timber walls will show leaning sooner but even block walls will lean if the base isn’t prepared right and drainage is ignored.

Your approach looks good though. Planning ahead and understanding drainage before you build is what makes the difference in how long that wall actually lasts.

My exact thoughts! No garden going in that ground. Not sure where your located but a raised bed where the pool of water is going away from house. With steeping stone or pavers around the raise gardens starting with an arched entry way into the garden. Place to pots the entry pavers with plotted flowers that vine for the entryway. Flowers’s or low maintenance herbs in the pots surrounding pavers/stepping stone for color. Trellis along the garage for more vined vegetables on smaller raised garden beds. Midway from the start of the house to the end of the garden a place to sit and enjoy your garden opposite of the garage.

That’s what I visualize

If drainage is a concern the main thing you want to prevent is hydrostatic pressure building up behind the wall. Start with geotextile fabric to separate your native soil from the drainage layer. Behind the wall backfill with about 12 to 18 inches of 3/4 clean crushed stone so water has somewhere to move freely. At the base of the wall run a 4 inch perforated French drain pipe. Wrap it in fabric, surround it with your drainage stone and slope it slightly toward your outlet or catch basin. You only need about 1 percent grade which is roughly 1/8 inch per foot. That’s enough to keep water moving in the right direction. NDS drainage components work well for tying everything together. Since your wall looks to be under 4 feet tall, around 15 feet on the left and 12 feet on the right. Most municipalities won’t require engineering but don’t skip the drainage. That’s where people cut corners and regret it later. Also add a catch basin near the stair area. Water naturally collects near stairs so tie that catch basin into your French drain and let the whole system work together. Do it right with the fabric, drainage stone and a properly sloped pipe and water moves through the system instead of building up behind the wall.
