The problem

Why hardscaping marketing usually stalls

Hardscaping is a high-ticket trade. Retaining walls, paver patios, and outdoor living projects are won on trust and portfolio, and the leads that matter come from homeowners ready to invest, not price shoppers.

We build that pipeline: high-intent search campaigns for pavers, walls, and outdoor living, Local Services Ads with the Google Guaranteed badge, and local SEO that keeps you in the map pack across every town you serve.

Every lead is exclusive and tracked. You see call recordings, form fills, and cost per booked design consultation, so you always know what your marketing is producing.

FAQ

hardscaping marketing FAQ

What is hardscaping marketing?

Hardscaping marketing is the system that puts your company in front of homeowners searching for paver patios, retaining walls, and outdoor living, then turns that attention into booked design consultations. Done properly it combines paid search, Local Services Ads, local SEO, a converting website, and fast follow-up.

How much does this cost?

Management packages start at $1,750 per month, with ad spend paid separately to the platforms. Tiered plans run $1,750, $2,500, or $4,250 per month depending on how much of your marketing we handle.

How fast can hardscaping ads produce leads?

Paid search and Local Services Ads typically produce leads within the first week of launch. Local SEO compounds over three to six months and lowers your blended cost per lead.

Can you attract premium design-build projects?

Yes. We aim campaigns at homeowners searching for full outdoor living and custom builds, and pair them with portfolio content that justifies premium pricing.

Are the leads exclusive?

Yes. Every lead is generated in your own ad and search accounts and goes only to you. We never resell or share a contact with a competitor in your market.

Do I own the leads and accounts?

Yes. Website, ad accounts, CRM, and every lead record are yours, on a month-to-month agreement with no long-term contract.
