Astra Labs Start for $99

Web design for landscapers

Landscaping websites that follow your year, from first mow to last snow.

Astra Labs designs custom websites for lawn care crews, gardeners, landscape builders, garden designers and tree surgeons. The price is $499 one time for up to five pages, with $99 to start and the remaining $400 paid once you love the site, before it goes live. Each site is made from your own yard photos and job clips, shows the work you do in each season, and ends in a quote request that can carry a photo of the customer's garden straight to your phone.

The idea that kept returning on lawn sites: the year as mowing stripes. Each stripe is a month, opening on the one you are in, with that month's real jobs and prices, so a customer sees what you would be doing at their place right now.
What the site has to do

A customer is looking at their own yard and wondering who can fix it.

We read what 21 landscaping, lawn and tree businesses actually sell, how they price it and what their sites showed. These are the points their customers needed answered, in roughly the order they ask them.

  1. Show which season you are in

    Most of the crews we designed for change jobs with the weather: cleanups and aeration in spring, weekly cuts through summer, leaves in autumn and, across the northern US and Canada, plowing and salting in winter. A site that only talks about mowing in January loses the snow contract. The page should know what month it is.

  2. Your stripes are the product

    A freshly striped lawn, a hedge cut square or a patio laid level is exactly what the customer is paying for, and nearly every business in this group had photos of it. 20 of 21 had usable photos or clips of their own work somewhere online, often better than anything on their site.

  3. Price the way you really price

    Some charge per cut or per visit, some by the hour for maintenance, some by the acre for brush clearing, some per tree or per stump, and designers charge a design fee before the build. Say which kind you are. Where you have real starting prices, show them; several businesses here already publish them and their customers clearly like it.

  4. Let a photo start the quote

    Many of these crews already quote from a picture sent by text or WhatsApp. Make that the main button: a message already written with the job and the street, waiting for the customer to add a photo of the overgrown back corner.

  5. Before and after, lined up

    Clearance work, turf, patios and tree removals all have a clear before and after. Taken from the same spot and lined up, two ordinary phone photos make the case better than any paragraph.

  6. For designers, show the drawing

    Garden designers and design and build firms sell a process: survey, drawing, 3D model, then the finished garden. Showing one real garden at each of those stages explains a design fee better than a price list can.

What we found

21 landscaping websites, read one by one.

We studied the current site of every landscaping, lawn, garden and tree business we designed for between late September and 1 November 2026: 10 in the US, 7 in the UK, 3 in Australia and 1 in Canada. On 1 November 2026 we opened each homepage again as a phone would. It is a small group, so these numbers describe what we saw rather than the whole industry.

The businesses themselves were in good shape: steady Google reviews, loyal repeat customers and, in many cases, crews who have looked after the same gardens for years. Their sites were spread over a surprising number of platforms. WordPress carried about half of them, usually with a page builder, and the rest ran on GoHighLevel, Hostinger, B12, Lovable, GoDaddy, Squarespace, Webflow or hand-written code. What they shared was a template look that could belong to any trade, with generic icon rows and a stock photo of someone else's lawn at the top.

Seven of the sites carried town or area pages, from six up to about seventy, written mainly for search engines. One design and build firm's site was still running on a template made for a painting contractor. One tree surgeon's site had stopped loading its styles and still held photos from another trade's template. Another arborist had a holding page that sent visitors to Facebook, where 23 good climbing and removal clips were waiting to be used.

Method: our review notes describe each old site in writing; we counted notes that mention stock or generated images and placeholder or demo content. Phone checks opened each homepage once at 390 pixels wide. See the full method.

Landscaping work

Nine designs, from weekly mowing rounds to garden studios.

None of these businesses asked to be named, so each one is described by its work and region only. Every design was made from the business's own photos, clips, words and prices.

Garden maintenanceWarwickshire, UK

Rates mown into the lawn

What we found
A tidy hand-built site of almost sixty pages, two dozen of them area pages, laid out like a template with emoji icons and a repeated review grid.
What we built
Their own flower photos from the gardens they look after open the page. Their three hourly maintenance rates become three mowing stripes, and tapping one starts a booking at that rate.
Lawn careSpringfield, Missouri

Pick your pattern

What we found
A one-page Elementor template mixing stock gardener photos with their own excellent pictures of striped lawns.
What we built
The site opens from the seat of their zero-turn mower looking down fresh stripes. Visitors choose straight, checkerboard or diamond stripes on a drawn lawn, or drag their own passes, and the pattern travels with the quote request.
Landscaping and snow removalFoothills of Calgary, Alberta

Two halves of the year

What we found
A website builder template with a carousel gallery and an online booking button that no longer worked.
What we built
The business name already splits their year between earth work and snow, so the visitor picks one first. Photos, services and the quote form all turn to that half, with their own excavator on one side and their night plowing photo on the other.
Snow contracts and landscapingGreater Boston, Massachusetts

A storm on your street

What we found
A clean dark theme from an app builder, with generated service pictures standing in for their own work.
What we built
A storm night the visitor plays from evening to morning. Snow builds on a drawn driveway until their truck clears and salts it, once for each of their three contract types, so the difference between them is seen, not read.
Tree surgeryNorth Essex, UK

Read the rings

What we found
A 2019 builder site that now loads without its styling, still holding photos from a template made for another trade.
What we built
Their logo is a cut stump, so a stump cross-section carries their real repeat customers ring by ring, from local councils to householders, beside their own photos of climbers high in the canopy.
ArboristNorth Brisbane, Australia

Down in small pieces

What we found
A holding page pointing to Facebook, where more than twenty helmet camera and drone clips of real removals were posted.
What we built
One of those clips, cut into a short loop, opens the site. A dead tree squeezed between a power line and a tank, taken from one of their own posts, comes down again on the rope piece by piece as the visitor scrolls.
Tree serviceColorado Front Range

From crown to stump

What we found
A long, text heavy site of over sixty pages that already published honest price ranges for removals, trimming and stump grinding.
What we built
The page is one tree taken down the way their crew works, from the crown at eighty feet to the stump ground below grade, with their real price range shown at each stage of the climb.
Garden designerNorfolk, UK

The tracing sheet

What we found
A site builder page with strong headlines, a good olive and lime palette and thirteen useful articles, opened by a stock video.
What we built
Each project laid out as a drawing sheet. A tracing layer slides from the before photo, through his own plan, to the finished garden, because a designer's job is laying a drawing over a problem.
Landscape design and buildGreen Bay, Wisconsin

Plan your yard after dark

What we found
A large site rebuilt from another trade's template, with about sixty landmark pages and small square photos.
What we built
Their own lit patios and pool decks at dusk open the page. A top-down backyard plan lets visitors place a patio, fire pit, wall and lighting and switch the lights on, and the finished plan becomes the brief for their first meeting with the client.
What comes with it

Built around rounds, seasons and site visits.

Every landscaping site we make starts with these, then gets one idea of its own drawn from your business.

The season on the front page

The opening section changes with the time of year, so cleanup, mowing, leaf and snow work each take their turn at the top.

Photo quote by text or WhatsApp

A ready-written message with the job type and street, so the customer only adds a picture of their garden and presses send.

Lined-up before and after

Your own pairs of photos aligned so the visitor drags from overgrown to finished on the same patch of ground.

Your service area, honestly

The towns and postcodes you cover on one clear map, so nobody has to ask whether you come to their road.

Your client hub button

Already sending quotes and invoices through Jobber or a similar tool? Its button goes on the site, so requests keep arriving where you work today.

Edit from the truck

Your own dashboard for adding a finished garden, changing a starting price or swapping the season's photo from your phone.

Price for landscapers

$499, the same in March as in December.

One flat price for the whole site, whether you run a single mower on a weekly round or a design and build crew with an office. It starts at $99. The other $400 is due once the finished site is right for you, before it goes live on your domain.

Questions

Landscapers ask us.

How much does a landscaping or lawn care website cost?

At Astra Labs it is $499 one time for a site of up to five pages. You pay $99 to start and $400 once you are happy with the finished design, before it goes live. More pages are $149 for five, and hosting with us is optional at $30 a month.

I do snow removal in winter. Can the site change with the season?

Yes. The front of the site can lead with whatever work fits the time of year, and you can switch the featured season yourself from the dashboard. Snow contracts can also have their own page, so people searching for plowing in November find it.

My best photos and clips are on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok. Can you use them?

Yes, and that is usually where we find the strongest material. Send us the links or the files and we pick the best stills and cut short clips into loops sized for phones. Portrait clips from a phone work fine.

Can customers send a photo of their garden with the quote request?

Yes. The quote button opens a text or WhatsApp message that already names the job and their street, and they attach photos before sending it to you. The enquiry form added at launch reaches your inbox as well.

I already use Jobber or another tool for quotes and invoices. Does that change?

No. We put your existing request or client hub button on the new site, so new work keeps arriving in the tool you already run your rounds from.

My current site has dozens of town pages. What happens to them?

Every old address is redirected at launch to the closest new page, so nothing Google knows ends in an error. If you want to keep the town pages themselves, the $149 site move brings across up to 30 pages and 50 posts.

Your lawns already look the part.

Give them a website that shows them off in every season. $499 for the complete site, $99 to start.
