For landscapers and garden designers

Your busiest season is decided in January, when nobody is thinking about gardens.

People plan gardens in the dark months and buy them in spring. If you are only visible when the weather turns, you are already behind the firms whose sites have been quietly collecting enquiries since New Year.

Why timing matters more in landscaping than almost anywhere

JanWhen the searching starts

Garden design and landscaping searches climb from the first week of January, months before anyone breaks ground.

5Pages, written for you

Enough to show the range of work without becoming a site you have to maintain.

Including the hosting, the domain and any changes you want.

The range

Landscaping covers a lot. The site should say which parts you do.

Patios and paving

Porcelain, sandstone, block paving. The highest-volume search in the trade.

Full garden builds

Design to handover, the work most worth photographing properly.

Decking and garden structures

Pergolas, screening, raised beds, garden rooms.

Planting and borders

The bit that separates a landscaper from a groundworker, and worth saying so.

Fencing and walling

Steady, repeatable work that keeps the quieter weeks full.

Maintenance contracts

The recurring income most landscapers want more of and few advertise.

Nothing sells a garden like the before

A scrubby lawn, a broken slab path, a fence on its last legs — then the finished garden. Landscaping is the trade where the transformation is the entire product, and a website that only shows the after is throwing away half of what makes people ring.

Two things people want to know and are slightly embarrassed to ask

What does a garden cost?

Everybody wants to know and almost nobody asks first. So they ring three landscapers, get three wildly different figures, and pick in confusion.

A rough range on your site — per square metre for paving, a starting figure for a full build — does three useful things. It stops the enquiries from people expecting a garden for eight hundred pounds. It makes your quote land as reasonable rather than shocking. And it makes you look confident, which is worth more than the number itself.

How long will my garden be a building site?

The second unasked question, and the one that actually decides whether somebody commits in March or puts it off another year.

We write a plain account of how a build runs: how long the muck away takes, when the noisy bit is, what the garden looks like at the halfway point. It is not glamorous and it is one of the most read things on a landscaping site, because it is the thing that turns a nice idea into something they can imagine actually doing.

Straight answers

What landscapers ask before signing up

My best gardens were done years ago. Can I still use the photographs?

Yes, and you should. A mature garden two years on often looks better than one photographed the week it was finished. If you can get back to shoot one, do.

I am booked up until August anyway. Why would I want more enquiries?

Good. That is the argument for the site, not against it. Being visibly booked lets you quote properly instead of competing for whoever rings first, and next January starts sooner than you think.

Do you do the design drawings side too?

No, we build the website. If you offer design as a service, the site sells it — plans, visuals, consultations — but the drawings stay yours.

Can I add gardens as I finish them?

Yes, included. Send photographs whenever you like.

Found locally

Being found in the right villages, not the whole county

The towns you actually serve

Landscaping is priced by the mile once plant and muck away are involved. We name the places you cover and are honest about the ones you will only travel to for a full build, which stops the quoting trips that were never going to pay.

Written the way people search

Nobody types soft landscaping contractor. They type garden landscapers near me, patio fitters and the name of their town. Your pages use the words your customers use, not the ones the trade uses.

Seasonal pages that earn their keep

A page about winter garden clearance or spring planting quietly picks up searches in the months when the phone would otherwise be quiet, and costs you nothing once it is written.

Be findable before the weather turns

One short conversation is all we need from you. £47 a month after that, with nothing else to buy.
