If you want more landscaping clients, especially for the bigger, better-paid projects, you need people to see your work, trust you and know roughly what a project costs. Landscaping is visual and high-value, which makes good marketing very effective.

## Show your best projects properly

Landscaping is sold on photos. For each project:

- show before, during and after photos;
- explain what the client wanted and what you built;
- mention materials and features;
- include a short client comment.

Put these on your website, Google profile and social media. A few detailed project stories are worth more than a large gallery of random photos.

## Be found locally

- Set up your [Google Business Profile](https://roughfigure.com/blog/google-business-profile-for-tradesmen) with project photos and the areas you cover.
- Create pages for each service: patios, turfing, garden design, fencing, decking, driveways.
- Collect reviews after every project. See [how to get more Google reviews](https://roughfigure.com/blog/how-to-get-more-google-reviews).

## Help customers understand prices

Most homeowners have no idea what landscaping costs. Showing ranges for typical projects (a new lawn, a small patio, a full garden makeover) attracts people with realistic budgets and gives others a reason to plan. An [instant estimator for landscapers](https://roughfigure.com/trades/landscapers) lets visitors get a ballpark figure for their project.

## Plan for the season

Many landscaping projects are planned in winter and built in spring and summer. Market early:

- post “book your spring project” reminders in January and February;
- offer design consultations in the quieter months;
- see [winter work for gardeners and landscapers](https://roughfigure.com/blog/winter-work-for-gardeners-and-landscapers).

## Partner with other trades

Builders, architects, pool contractors, fencers, tree surgeons and garden designers all meet homeowners planning outdoor work. Good relationships bring regular referrals.

## Turn projects into ongoing work

After a big project, offer maintenance: lawn care, planting, seasonal tidy-ups. It brings regular income and keeps you in touch for the next project and referrals.

## Use your sites as adverts

- Site boards with your name and number.
- Leaflets to neighbours (“we’re building a new garden at number 8”).
- A [QR code](https://roughfigure.com/blog/qr-codes-for-tradesmen) on your van and boards that leads to an instant price.

Show big projects in detail, partner with architects and builders, and give realistic price ranges so serious clients contact you.
