The problem

Not getting the right kind of work?

There's a big difference between mowing-and-edging contracts and serious retaining walls or earthworks. Our marketing for tradies is set up to attract the latter.

✕ Clients underestimating the scope of your work
✕ Bigger projects going to competitors
✕ Portfolio not being seen by the right clients
✕ No way to showcase the scale of your builds
Our approach

How we help landscapers win bigger projects.

01

Google Ads for hardscaping & earthworks

We bid on the high-margin work: retaining walls, stonework, pool surrounds, earthworks, drainage. Our Google Ads campaigns for tradies skip the mowing keywords and bid where the serious projects come from.

Why it works for landscapers: a retaining wall project is worth far more than a mowing visit. Your marketing budget goes much further targeting the heavy work.
02

SEO for high-value keywords

Rank for "retaining wall builder Gold Coast", "stonework specialist", "earthworks contractor". Longer-tail terms with higher purchase intent and lower competition than generic "landscaper". That's the focus of our SEO for tradies: fewer searches, better jobs.

Why it works for landscapers: generic "landscaper" search results are noisy and competitive. The specific terms convert far better because they signal serious intent.
03

Project portfolio website

Every completed build becomes a portfolio page on your website. Big photography (before/during/after), project scope, materials used, suburb. Each becomes ranking content for the specific project and location (e.g. "retaining wall builder Mermaid Waters").

Why it works for landscapers: landscaping is one of the most visual trades. Big projects sell themselves with the right photography. Your portfolio IS the marketing.
04

Visual content strategy

Time-lapse videos of builds, Instagram-friendly photo content, project showcase reels. Social media for landscapers is gold because the transformation videos are inherently scroll-stopping.

Why it works for landscapers: a 60-second time-lapse of a retaining wall going in gets shared organically. Each project = months of social content.

Common questions

The questions landscapers ask us most.

How do you target the right kind of landscaping clients?
Specific keyword targeting. We bid on terms like "retaining wall builder", "stonework specialist", "earthworks contractor" rather than generic "landscaper". The intent is completely different. Generic searches = mowing/maintenance. Specific searches = serious project work.
Landscaping projects take a while. How does that affect marketing?
Long sales cycle = content + retargeting. Quote-to-close on a big retaining wall can take weeks. We build content that supports each stage (inspiration, planning, costing, builder selection) and use retargeting to stay top-of-mind through the decision.
Can you help with commercial landscaping?
Yes. Commercial (body corp, council, developers) has a B2B sales cycle. Different keywords, different content (capabilities statements, case studies), different relationships. We can build it alongside or separately from your residential funnel.
How much should a landscaping business spend on marketing?
It really depends. Three things drive the right number: your location (click costs differ a lot between major-city and regional markets), your competition (how many other specialists are bidding on your terms), and your account setup (a properly built account converts far better than a poorly built one). We give a real recommendation in the free marketing review based on your specific business, not a generic range.
How long until I see results?
Google Ads is the fastest to show something, because ads can run as soon as the campaign is approved. Google Business Profile work usually moves before new pages do, and search engine optimisation (SEO) builds over months rather than weeks. How fast depends on your area, your competition and what needs fixing first, which is what we work out in the free marketing review.
Do you work with other landscapers in my area?
We won't run ads for two landscapers chasing the same jobs in the same suburbs. Before we quote we check who else we work with nearby, and we'll tell you straight if there's a clash.
Will you photograph my work?
We partner with photographers for shoots, or use your existing project imagery. For ongoing content we set up a phone-photo workflow so site visits become content opportunities.
Do you work with landscapers outside the Gold Coast?
Yes. We can work with landscapers anywhere in Australia.
