Landscape + Hardscape Leads from Inground Pool Permits

An inground pool permit is the loudest possible signal that a homeowner is about to need a 5-figure landscape restoration. The excavator destroys the yard. The pool sits in a mud pit for 2-3 months. When the pool crew leaves, the homeowner is staring at a wasteland — and they have neither the time nor the skill to put it back together. That's your job.

Every inground pool permit in 98 US cities, refreshed every 12 hours.
Average US inground pool: $65,909 (Angi 2026). PHTA estimates ~100,000 new inground pools built annually in the US.
Pool budgets typically allocate 30-50% extra to landscaping + hardscape restoration after the shell is in. That's $20K-$30K of work per address you'd see from a single permit alert.
Get the permit the week it's filed — typically 6-10 weeks before excavation. Plenty of runway to introduce yourself, walk the lot, and earn the bid before the pool crew finishes.
Filter the digest to 'permit_type CONTAINS pool OR swimming pool' + 'estimated_cost>20000' to skip above-ground pools and small spas.
Industry size: $188.8B US landscaping services in 2025, +7.1% YoY (IBISWorld). Hardscape is the highest-margin sub-segment.

Frequently asked questions

Real questions contractors have asked us. If yours isn't here, email [email protected].

When in the build cycle should I reach out?

Permit-filing day to excavation-start: 6-10 weeks. The sweet spot for introducing yourself is week 1-2 after permit (before excavation begins) — you can walk the lot, see the existing layout, and bid the post-pool restoration as a package. Pool installers often refer landscape work to a partner; offer to BE that partner.

What about pool installers as a referral channel?

Most pool installers run 5-15 jobs/yr in a given market. Identify them via the 'contractor' field on PermitGrab pool records (cross-tabulate by installer name in your city). Drop a card at their shop offering a 5-10% referral fee for restoration work they hand off.

Do landscape jobs typically book before or after pool completion?

Both, but the landscape contract is almost always signed BEFORE excavation. Homeowners want a single 'pool + landscape' project timeline, not two separate disruptive jobs. Win the bid in week 2-3 of the pool permit, schedule the install for the week after the pool crew leaves.

How fresh are the leads?

We collect permits daily from the city and county portals. Most cities show permits within 24-48 hours of issuance. The 'Today's Hot Leads' block on each city page shows permits issued in the last 7 days.

Do they include phone numbers?

Yes — owner phones where available (from enrichment), plus the contractor's business phone where the permit data publishes it. Coverage varies by city — Phoenix, Miami-Dade, San Antonio currently top 3 by phone count.

How much does it cost?

PermitGrab is $149/month flat. No annual contract. Cancel anytime. No per-lead fee, no shared-lead surcharge, no surprises.

Can I try before paying?

Yes. The first 10 contractor reveals each month are free with no card required. If you want unlimited reveals, exports, and city alerts, upgrade to Pro at $149/month.

Can I import the leads into my CRM?

Yes — CSV export is included on Pro. Works with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, JobNimbus, HubSpot, and any CRM that accepts CSV.
