Two kinds of landscaping customer
Landscaping businesses on the Coast usually serve two very different customers. One wants a project: a retaining wall on a sloping Buderim block, a full backyard after a new build in Palmview, a pool surround in Peregian. The other wants a regular service: mowing, hedging, garden maintenance for a holiday rental or an older owner. A good site welcomes both and sends each to the right place.
Where landscaping websites tend to fall short:
- No before-and-after. Landscaping is the most visual trade there is, and a tired yard turning into something great sells the job better than any paragraph.
- Every enquiry needs a site visit. Without area, slope and access details you're driving to Montville to find a job that doesn't need a bobcat or won't fit one.
- Maintenance and projects mixed together. A mowing round and a $30,000 landscape design shouldn't share one generic contact form.
- Seasonal demand ignored. Spring is busy on the Coast. A site that lets you switch a "booking for autumn" notice on from the admin keeps people from giving up.
Service pages we'd build for a landscaper
- Landscape design and full backyard makeovers
- Retaining walls: timber sleeper, concrete sleeper, block and boulder
- Turf supply and laying
- Irrigation and drainage
- Paving, pathways and pool surrounds
- Garden beds, planting and mulching
- Lawn mowing and garden maintenance rounds
- Hedging, pruning and green waste removal
- Landscaping for new builds and display homes
Retaining walls deserve a strong page. On the Coast's hillier suburbs they're often the biggest job a homeowner commissions, and people search for them specifically, sometimes with questions about council approval for taller walls that you can answer in plain words.
Suburb targeting for landscapers
New estates bring fresh-start landscaping work: Aura, Palmview, Harmony, Sippy Downs and Bli Bli all have streets of newly finished homes with bare yards. Hilly established suburbs like Buderim, Mountain Creek, Little Mountain and Tanawha bring retaining walls and drainage. The hinterland around Maleny and Montville brings acreage, gardens and rural work. We'd target a mix based on where you want to spend your time, and keep maintenance rounds tight so you're not driving across the Coast between mows.
What the quote form asks a landscaping customer
Step 1: job type (design, retaining wall, turf, paving, irrigation, maintenance, other), suburb, approximate area in square metres, one-off or regular service.
Step 2: name, phone, email, side access width (under 1 metre, 1 to 2 metres, over 2 metres), slope (flat, gentle, steep), and up to three photos of the yard.
Access width is the question that saves landscapers the most wasted trips. It tells you straight away whether machinery fits or the job is wheelbarrow work, which changes the price. We explain the thinking in quote forms that convert.
Which design suits a landscaper
Quick Quote was drawn for lawn, garden and maintenance businesses: simple, fresh and fast, with the quote form and a call button on the first screen. Landscapers doing bigger design-and-construct projects suit Showcase, where the before-and-after slider earns its place. Hinterland works for landscapers and stonemasons who want a warm, crafted look.
Plans start from $990, and the Local Pro plan adds a Recent Work gallery you update from your phone. See current pricing.
Questions
Can the site handle both maintenance clients and landscaping projects?
Yes. The form asks one-off or regular service in the first step, and we can build separate pages for each, so maintenance customers and project customers each get what they need.
Can I add before-and-after photos myself?
On the Local Pro plan, yes. The Recent Work gallery lets you upload photos from your phone and tag them by suburb and job type.
Can I pause enquiries when I'm booked out?
Yes. The admin lets you show a notice, such as booking for next month, so customers know when you can start instead of assuming you're not replying.
Do you set up Google Business Profile for landscapers?
Yes. Landscapers usually run a service-area profile with no shopfront, so we set the categories, the suburbs you cover and upload project photos.
