Referral Rate vs. Maintenance
Design Clients Don't Search for Services. They Search for Vision.
Landscape design clients are fundamentally different from maintenance customers. They don't search "lawn care near me." They search "modern landscape design ideas," "backyard transformation," "landscape architect portfolio." They're looking for inspiration, expertise, and proof that you can bring their vision to life.
These are homeowners willing to invest $25,000 to $100,000+ in their property. But they'll only contact designers whose portfolio and online presence communicates the level of craftsmanship they expect. A generic website with a contact form isn't enough.
We build marketing that speaks to design-minded homeowners. Portfolio websites that tell project stories. Content that establishes your design philosophy. Lead funnels that attract qualified prospects who are ready to invest in professional landscape architecture.

Our Approach
Your Landscape Design Marketing Playbook
Process-Driven Website Content
Design clients want to understand your process before committing. We build detailed pages showing your design methodology: consultation, concept development, revisions, and installation. Transparency builds trust on premium projects.
Project Gallery Storytelling
Every design project has a story: the client's vision, the challenges, the solutions, the transformation. We help you document and present projects as case studies that inspire homeowners and demonstrate your expertise.
SEO for Design-Intent Searches
Landscape design searches are different from service searches. "Backyard design ideas," "landscape renovation before and after," "modern landscape design." We capture homeowners in the inspiration phase and guide them to your portfolio.
Pinterest & Houzz Strategy
Homeowners curate landscape inspiration on Pinterest and Houzz for months before hiring. We build your presence on these platforms so you're the designer whose work keeps appearing in their boards.
Content Marketing Authority
Blog content, design guides, plant selection resources, and seasonal planning articles. We position you as the landscape design authority in your market through content that ranks and generates qualified leads.
Consultation Funnel Optimization
The first design consultation is where projects are won or lost. We build landing pages and lead nurture sequences that pre-qualify prospects and warm them up before they ever sit down with your designer.
FAQ
Landscape Design Marketing Questions
How do you market landscape design differently from general landscaping?
Design clients have a longer decision cycle, higher expectations, and research more deeply. We use education-first content, detailed portfolio presentations, process transparency, and consultation-based funnels rather than quick-quote forms. The messaging emphasizes expertise, vision, and craftsmanship over price.
Should we showcase our design process or just finished results?
Both, but process content is a major differentiator. Homeowners hiring a designer want to understand how you work. Showing your methodology (initial consultation, concept sketches, 3D renderings, revisions, installation) builds confidence and justifies your design fees.
How important is Houzz for landscape designers?
Very. Houzz is where homeowners with budget go to find design professionals. We help optimize your Houzz profile, build project portfolios on the platform, and generate Houzz reviews. For landscape designers specifically, Houzz can be one of the highest-quality lead sources available.
What about marketing phased landscape master plans?
Phased master plans are brilliant for both the homeowner and your business. We market them as the accessible way to get a professional landscape design executed over time. The initial plan becomes the recurring revenue source as homeowners return each season for the next phase.
