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. We help you 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. Skip the mowing keywords. Bid where the serious projects come from.

Why it works for landscapers: a retaining wall project is $5K-$30K. A mowing contract is $50/visit. Marketing budget goes 50x 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".

Why it works for landscapers: generic "landscaper" SERPs are noisy and competitive. The specific terms convert at 5-10x the rate 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 the most visual trade after painting. 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 $20K retaining wall is often 3-6 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 (CPCs vary 5-10x 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 3-5x better than a poor 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 typically produces first leads inside month one. SEO in 3-6 months. Most landscapers see meaningful project enquiries within 60-90 days.

Do you work with other landscapers in my area?

No directly competing landscapers in the same service area. Your suburb cluster is yours.

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. Landscapers across Australia.
