What it costs
What a landscaping website should cost
A landscaping site earns two ways: winning big design-and-build projects and filling a steady maintenance base. Here is what it costs and why both make it pay.
From £297, live in 7 days, on your own domain.
Landscaping website cost
Where the price sits
A landscaping website cost starts from £297 for a spec-built site on your own domain, live within a week, with three months of aftercare included. That is well below the agency quotes and above the cheap builders, both of which mislead. For a landscaper the price is trivial against the trade’s project values, a design-and-build job runs into thousands, so one project covers it many times over. But the site earns two ways, projects and maintenance, and understanding both is how you judge the cost properly.
Design-and-build projects are the big paydays, high-value but lumpier and more competitive. Maintenance is the steady base, lower per visit but recurring and predictable. A site that wins both lands the occasional large project and fills the reliable income between them, which is exactly the balance most landscapers want, and what makes the cost easy to justify.
What the build covers
From £297, the money builds a site that works both sides. It gives you a portfolio that sells design-and-build projects on vision, real before-and-after transformations shown prominently, because those high-value jobs are chosen on what the customer can see. And it presents your maintenance work clearly, making plain that you take on regular care and covering the areas you serve, so you can build a steady base.
It also buys the ability to steer. The site lets you lead with whichever side you want to grow, projects for the paydays or maintenance for the reliable income, and present the other as a complement. That control over the mix of work you attract is part of what you are paying for.
Why cheap loses the high-value work
For a landscaper, a bargain builder carries a specific risk: it loses you the high-value projects. When a homeowner is choosing who to trust with a garden transformation worth thousands, they judge partly on how the landscaper presents, and a slow, generic, clunky site quietly signals a smaller, less capable operation. They give the big job to a landscaper whose portfolio looked the part.
So spending nothing on the site can cost you the very projects that are worth the most. A properly built site presents your transformations with the ambition they deserve, so a project customer sees a landscaper worth trusting with a serious spend. For the high-value side of this trade, the site’s quality is part of how the customer judges yours, and that is worth paying a little for.
Judge it against both income streams
The right way to weigh a landscaping website cost is against both streams. A single design-and-build project, worth thousands, covers the build many times over, so winning one you would otherwise have missed settles the cost immediately. Then the maintenance customers the site brings add steady, recurring income against a small monthly fee. For a trade that balances big projects with a reliable base, a few hundred pounds for a site that wins the paydays and fills the income between them is straightforward value, paying back both ways at once.

A straight price.
From £297 to build it, first three months of Care included, then £49 a month.

Common questions
Questions I get asked.
How much does a landscaping website cost?
Builds start from £297 one-off, on your own domain, live within a week, with three months of aftercare included. After that it is £49 a month for hosting and small changes, cancellable any time. A single design-and-build project is worth thousands, so one job many times covers the cost, and the maintenance customers a site brings add steady income on top.
What does the money buy for a landscaper?
A site that wins both sides of the trade: a portfolio that sells high-value projects on vision, and clear maintenance information that builds a steady base. Most of the value is in showing your project work well and making it easy to find and sign up for regular care. You are paying for a site that lands the big paydays and fills the reliable income between them.
Why do agency landscaping websites cost thousands?
They build in designers, managers and often a heavy platform, and pass the overhead on. None of it sells a garden transformation better than a fast, clean portfolio. A landscaper does not need that machinery, so the extra thousands buy their costs, not your projects. That money is better spent on plants, materials or a labourer for the busy season.
Is a cheap website builder enough for a landscaper?
Usually not, because a portfolio has to impress. Cheap builders are slow and generic, and a clunky gallery undersells the garden transformations that win high-value projects. When a project customer is choosing who to trust with thousands, a shabby site quietly loses you the job to a landscaper whose work looked the part. A properly built site does your projects justice.
What ongoing costs are there?
A domain is about ten to fifteen pounds a year, in your name. The £49 monthly covers hosting, backups and a couple of small edits, so you can keep adding new project photos as you complete them, which matters for a portfolio. Nothing is hidden, and a static site rarely breaks, so no surprise bills arrive.
When does a landscaping website pay for itself?
Usually on the first project, given design-and-build jobs run into thousands. Win one project you would otherwise have missed, because your portfolio convinced the customer, and the build is covered many times over. The maintenance customers the site brings then add steady income against a small monthly cost, so it keeps paying both ways.
