01 / THE IDEA
Why it exists
Create a useful statewide resource that helps homeowners request lawn service while giving participating providers a structured way to express interest.

Arkansas Lawn Pros
A public lawn-service resource and lead-generation platform being built and tested across Arkansas.
- Project type
- Statewide service-resource experiment
- Current status
- Testing
- Reporting
- No inflated claims
02 / THE PROBLEM
What it attempts to solve
Local service discovery is fragmented. Homeowners often do not know who covers their area, and small providers need a practical way to receive organized inquiries.
03 / WHAT I BUILT
The working pieces
- Public service and local-content pages
- Homeowner and provider-interest forms
- Attribution-aware lead capture
- A private Lead Box
- Database-backed notification outbox

05 / HOW IT WORKS
The useful flow
A visitor submits a service request. The request is validated, stored in its own database, queued for notification, and made available inside the protected Lead Box.
06 / CURRENT RESULTS
Status before spin
The platform is in testing. There are no meaningful lead-volume, referral, or revenue results to report yet.
07 / WHAT WORKED
A useful observation
Building the submission and notification path as separate steps makes the system more resilient: an email problem does not erase a saved lead.
08 / WHAT DIDN’T
Where friction remains
A broad statewide idea creates a large content and provider-coverage problem. That work cannot be treated as complete before real usage exists.
09 / WHAT I’VE LEARNED
The practical takeaway
A small lead system still needs boring fundamentals—validation, attribution, idempotency, authentication, and a clear operational handoff.
