Landscaping Design Consultation Form Template

A backyard project can be a mowing plan or a full outdoor renovation, and one generic contact form serves neither. This landscaping consultation form sorts design, hardscape, irrigation, and maintenance requests into their own question paths, collects photos and budget up front, and lands every request on your board ready for the site visit, the proposal, and the deposit.

Free plan, no credit card required. Built for HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, painters, and contractors.

What happens after submit

A basic form builder stops here. DocOtto keeps going: every submission becomes a deal you can track from intake to signed and paid.

Lands on your board

The submission becomes a card on your pipeline the moment it arrives. Assign it, note it, and move it forward.

Customer gets a status page

Every submission gets a Living Link with your branding, so customers always know what happens next.

Contract goes out pre-filled

Create the agreement from your template, filled in with their answers, and send it for e-signature.

Deposit collected via Stripe

Request a deposit or full payment. When it lands, the card on your board moves forward on its own.

Example workflow

patio and drainage project

A customer selects hardscape, and the form reveals patio, retaining wall, and drainage questions with a photo upload and budget range. The request lands in Scope Review, the site visit is booked, and the proposal follows. When the customer signs the design agreement, the project deposit is collected before materials are ordered, and the Living Link tracks the project from visit scheduled to deposit received.

Why use DocOtto instead of a basic form builder?

Form builders collect responses and stop. DocOtto runs the whole middle: the pipeline that tracks every deal, the contract that fills itself in, the Stripe deposit that follows the signature, and the Living Link that keeps your customer in the loop. From intake to signed and paid, in one place.
