- Retaining walls
- Outdoor living projects
- Planting and garden installation
What to consider
- Residential lawn and garden maintenance

Acquisition Strategy
Use search for active need and social creative for inspiration.
Google Ads: Capture active searches for specific projects and recurring services within route-compatible areas. Facebook & Instagram: Show authentic transformations, project walkthroughs, process explanations and seasonal offers to prospects before they select a contractor. Build service pages, project case studies, local relevance and useful guides around planning, material choices, maintenance and project expectations. Local SEO: Strengthen map visibility, customer reviews, photos and accurate service-area information. Retargeting: Stay visible while prospects compare designs, budgets and contractors.

Key considerations

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Should landscaping maintenance and design-build use the same campaign?
Usually not. They attract different buyers, have different economics and require different forms, proof and follow-up.
Can Facebook and Instagram Ads work for landscaping?
Visual services can perform well when the company has authentic creative, a clear offer and a reliable response process.
How do we avoid inquiries outside our routes?
Use geographic targeting, page language, postal-code fields and internal qualification. Platform targeting is not perfect, so the team still needs a process for out-of-area leads.
Should the form ask for a budget?
It can be useful for higher-value design-build projects when the ranges are realistic and explained. It may be unnecessary for simple recurring services.
Can LeadStead help with commercial landscaping contracts?
Yes. Commercial pages and workflows can focus on property type, portfolio size, service frequency, site walks, decision-makers and renewal timing.
