The common problem for landscaping businesses
Many landscaping and lawn care businesses operate for years with no website, relying on a Facebook page, word of mouth, and yard signs. They lose jobs to competitors who show up in Google searches for terms like "landscaping Rockford IL." When potential customers search for the business name, they find a Facebook page but no website, no service list, and no way to request a quote without calling during business hours.
Some have tried DIY website builders but abandoned them because the result looked unprofessional or they could not figure out how to add a working contact form. What they need is something simple, fast, and professional that they can point people to.
Common starting point
Web presence
Facebook page only. No website. Not indexed by Google for any service keyword.
Lead sources
Phone calls and word of mouth. No online quote requests. No way to capture leads outside business hours.
Google Business Profile
Claimed but incomplete. No photos, no service list, no website link.
Typical constraints
- Budget: Aligned to a Local Growth package tier
- Timeline: Approximately 3 weeks from start to launch
- Content: The business owner provides service descriptions and photos from past jobs
- Branding: Often no logo. A simple text-based logo and color scheme using green and earth tones can be designed as part of the build
- Photos: The owner typically has project photos from a phone. These are edited and compressed for web
- Domain: Often not yet registered. Domain registration and email forwarding can be set up as part of the project
What the build includes
A 5-page Gatsby static site with the following pages: Home, Services, Project Gallery, About, and Contact. The site includes a free quote form, before-and-after project photos, service package pricing, and a weather widget that recommends seasonal services (snow removal in winter, lawn care in spring).
- Home page: Hero with service area, proof strip, service packages, project highlights, and a quote form CTA
- Services page: Detailed service descriptions for lawn care, hardscaping, snow removal, and seasonal cleanup with pricing
- Gallery: Before-and-after photos of projects with location and project description
- About: The owner's story, years in business, service area map, and Google review badges
- Contact: Free quote form with service type, property size, and preferred contact method
