Website builder for landscapers
The work you do, the gardens you've finished, and a way to ask for a quote.
Landscaping is bought with the eyes. The gap between a design-and-build firm and a maintenance round is also the entire difference in who calls you, and most templates flatten it.
Describe the business — what you do, who for, where — and the services, the gallery and the coverage area are built to match, with an enquiry form that arrives as an email and a record.
What they came for
What people want from a landscaping business website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
What has this firm actually built?
The gallery is the argument. It is planned in as a set of finished gardens rather than one photograph propping up three paragraphs.
Do you do the thing I want?
Design-and-build, patios, planting, a maintenance round — different jobs with different money, kept as separate services rather than flattened into "garden services".
Do you come out to me?
The coverage area, stated plainly. A maintenance round in particular lives or dies on distance.
What happens after I get in touch?
The process section says how the work actually goes — visit, design, quote, build — which is the part that turns a browse into an enquiry.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on landscaping business websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
Design and maintenance sold as one thing
Design-and-build and maintenance are different customers with different budgets. One page addressing both says less to each of them than two sections or two pages would.
Photographs taken in November
Gardens photograph better in season. A set taken in summer shows the work more clearly than a description of it does.
No indication of what a project costs
Without any figure, enquiries arrive from people with very different budgets. A starting figure lets a reader work out whether the conversation is worth having.
What gets built
What a landscaping business website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for landscapers, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a landscaping business with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most landscapers need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Enquiries arrive as an email and are kept as records you can search later, so nothing is lost because an inbox was busy.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“Transforming outdoor spaces since 2010.”
Specific
“Garden design and build — patios, planting, levels. Projects usually start around £8,000.”
A starting figure does filtering that a longer form does not.
General
“We offer garden maintenance.”
Specific
“Fortnightly maintenance rounds in three villages, March to October, same two people each visit.”
Frequency, area, season and continuity — four answers where there was one claim.
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for landscapers
- Can I separate design work from maintenance?
- Yes — they are different services with different prices in the services table, and the page can give them separate treatment rather than one undifferentiated list.
- How many photos should I have?
- The gallery is planned for six to nine, which is where a set starts reading as a portfolio rather than a sample. The site ships with stock photography until you swap yours in.
- Can I add a page later?
- Yes. Ask for it in chat — "add a page for our maintenance plans" — and it is added with content on it, with the navigation and footer links updated across the site.
- Can I show a garden before and after?
- Yes. The before/after slider puts the same garden on one image, which shows the change more directly than photographs on their own.
- Can I say how a project runs?
- Yes — that is what the process section is for: a few steps, each naming something concrete, rather than "consultation, delivery, aftercare".
- Can I take the site down over winter?
- You don't need to. It is static files on a CDN with nothing running that can break, so a quiet season costs you nothing but the plan you're on.
Where this isn't the right tool
No scheduling of rounds, no route planning, no recurring invoices. If the maintenance side needs that, keep the software. Sitemo is for the site that shows the gardens, separates the two halves of the business and catches the enquiry.
