Websites for a gardening or landscaping business
Booked into the round before the national franchise gets the click.
We build websites for gardeners, landscapers and lawn care businesses in Bude, North Cornwall and North Devon: your patch written out, your work in photographs, and a quote form that catches the enquiry before the national franchise's advert does. A website starts at £1,195, or we build it free from £25 a month.
From £25 a month, or from £1,195Every price
“You're up to your elbows in someone's border when the enquiry comes in, and the national franchise already has a quote back before you've washed your hands.”
A site that turns 'gardener near Bude' into a quote request with photos of the job, so you're answering it from the van, not losing it to whoever quoted first.
Your round runs from the first cut to the first frost.
The words below are the ones you use. We write the site in them rather than translating them into something a stranger would say.
The season starts the moment the grass moves, usually some week in March, and from then to the clocks going back you're booked a fortnight out on the regular round: the fortnightly cut in Stratton, the hedges in Poughill before they get away from anyone, a turfing job or a patio squeezed in on the one dry Tuesday going. A wet spring pushes every lawn in Bude up at once and the phone doesn't stop; a dry August thins the round down to strimming and clearance. Winter is hedges, leaf clearance and quoting the jobs for next spring, not silence.
Type 'gardener near Bude' or 'lawn care Kilkhampton' into a phone and the top of the results is rarely a local van. It's a national franchise with a marketing budget built for exactly that search, running off a call centre and a price list rather than a look at the plot. You're one van covering forty miles of North Cornwall and North Devon, and every pound they spend on the search is aimed at the same customer you'd have got by word of mouth if the search had shown you first.
So the site's job is not to look bigger than you are. It's to win the search on what the franchise can't fake: your own patch written out in the towns you actually cover, photographs of the work you've done this year, and a quote form that takes a photo of the plot, so you can price the job before you've driven out to see it.

www.greenthumb.co.ukWhat your site actually has to carry.
Not a feature list. These are the things a customer of yours is trying to do, and where each one has to sit before they give up and ring somebody else.
| What it needs | Why, for you | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Your patch, written out as towns | 'Gardener near me' means nothing to Google until it knows your patch is Stratton to Widemouth Bay, not all of Cornwall. | A service-area page, and the same towns on your Google Business Profile |
| A quote form that takes photographs | A photo of the lawn or the border turns 'it needs sorting' into a job you can price without a wasted drive to look at it. | One page, a few fields, an upload button that works from a phone in the garden |
| The regular round, separate from the one-off job | A weekly cut and a one-off turfing job are different questions from different customers, and keeping them apart saves explaining it every time. | Two short pages, linked from the home page |
| Photographs of finished work, this year's | A hedge trim or a new patio sells itself in a before-and-after; last year's photographs show last year's garden. | A gallery page, and the Google profile most people check first |
| Whether you work through winter | Hedges, clearance and quoting still happen in January, and saying so stops the 'are you still taking customers' phone call. | First screen, kept current through the year under the care plan |
| A review link you send after the job | The review comes if you ask on the day, not from a form on the site, and it's what tells a stranger you're not a number they don't recognise. | Your Google Business Profile, sent by text after the job |
What we’d do first.
Before a rebuild, before a rebrand, before anything with a monthly fee attached to it. In this order, for a gardening or landscaping business.
Your number huge, a WhatsApp button, and a quote form that takes photos of the plot, so you can price a job without a wasted site visit.
Your patch and your regular round written out — the towns you actually cover and the work you actually take — so the enquiry that lands is the right size before you quote it.
A Google Business Profile with the trade in the name and your real service area, so you're not sitting under the national franchise on the map for your own town.
And what we wouldn’t bother with
Drone footage of every garden
It costs more than most jobs are worth, and a phone photograph of the same lawn tells the same story. Save it for the one landscaping job big enough to deserve it, and put the money into photographs taken this year instead.
The words your customers actually type.
Not keywords. Half-sentences, typed with one thumb, usually within a few miles of you and usually about to spend money.
gardener Bude
landscaper Holsworthy
lawn care Kilkhampton
hedge cutting Stratton
Every one of those is either a page on your site or a line on your Google Business Profile, and usually both. Local SEO and the Google profile is priced on its own, set up once and kept right through the season.

What that takes, and what it costs.

Most of what we can show you so far is holiday parks, glamping and holiday home sales, built by the same two people under our holiday-park name. The thinking is the same and the figures on each study are lab measurements, stated in full. See the work.

The questions we get, answered straight.
Why does a national franchise show up before me when someone searches 'gardener near Bude'?
Because they spend on it, and a lot of local vans haven't done the things that cost nothing: a Google Business Profile with the right service area, a website that actually names Bude, Stratton and the villages you cover, and reviews asked for after every job. None of that beats their advertising budget outright, but it usually puts you back in the running for the searches that end in a phone call rather than a franchise quote.
Can people send photos of the garden before I quote?
Yes. The quote form takes photographs from a phone, so 'the lawn needs sorting' becomes a picture of the actual lawn. It saves you driving out to price jobs you were never going to take, and the quote you do send is closer to right first time.
Do I need a Google Business Profile as well as a website?
For garden and landscaping work, usually yes, because the map is where 'gardener near me' gets answered first. Setting it up properly, with your real service area and the same details everywhere Google looks, is a £90 job of its own. The site is what it sends people to once they've clicked through.
What does a website for a garden or landscaping business cost?
A Fast-Track Website, from £1,195, covers your patch, the work you take, photographs of it, and a quote form that takes photos. Google Business Profile setup is £90 on top of that. Hosting and updates are the care plan, from £60 a month. Or we build it free from £25 a month on a pay-monthly plan. Every price is on our pricing page, and a range is fixed in writing before we start.

We look at it the way one of your customers would: on a phone, in a hurry, on a Bude signal. Then you get an email from Leonard or Rebecca with the one thing to fix first and roughly what it would cost.
The check costs nothing and there is no sales call after it.
