Websites for landscapers.
I'm Huw. I build sites for landscapers and other small businesses around Bridgend and South Wales. I can help acquire and setup your domain, the hosting and your custom email.
It's just me, so you deal with the same person the whole way through.
For most sites I build, there's no ongoing monthly cost once it's live, that includes no hosting cost. You'll see some other agencies charge a monthly ongoing fee to keep your site live, with me, you only pay when you actually need something.
I'm in Bridgend, working across South Wales and remotely anywhere in the UK.

Nobody searches for landscaping
They search for the thing they’ve been imagining. A garden room. A patio big enough for a table and six chairs. Artificial grass because the dog has killed the lawn. A driveway. Every one of those is somebody who’s been looking at pictures for a month before they get anywhere near your name, and they’ve usually settled on roughly what they want before you’re in it at all.
What they’re stuck on
More than any trade round here, people buy your work from images, because somebody stood at their back door with a phone is trying to picture what you’d build for them. The garden room lot are stuck on the rules, permitted development, height, what happens if you sleep in it or run a business from it, and it’s answered badly nearly everywhere. Plenty of others are just stuck between porcelain and sandstone, or resin and block paving, at eleven at night. Then there’s the question of how far you’ll come, which matters more in your trade than most, since you’re moving tonnes of material and carting waste back. Fencing runs against all of it, spiking after the first proper gale when panels are lying in the lane, and that person wants a phone number and nothing else.
What I’d do for you
The first meeting is me walking you through who’s searching, how far along they are and what each of them needs from you, and then I’ll scope it and put a number on it.
The build, your email and your Google profile
Most of these sites are static: plain files on a server, nothing to log into, no plugin sat there waiting to be patched. They load quickly on a phone with two bars of signal, and for most of them there's no ongoing hosting cost. No monthly retainer, and the domain renews once a year at list price in your name with no commission from me. If you'd rather edit the pages yourself I'll build you something you can edit, and tell you what it costs to run before we start.
Email goes on your own custom domain, setup properly so your quotes, invoices and confirmations land in the inbox rather than the spam folder.
Then the Google Business Profile, which on a phone often sits above every website on the screen. I go through yours with you and get it agreeing with the site, because when the two disagree they stop being read as the same business.
What I'd build for landscapers in your town
The job is the same wherever you are. What changes is which town and village names belong on the page, that's what people type.
See where your site stands first
Put your address into the free check and it tells you where the site's hosted, what it's built with, what a search engine actually gets and whether your email is setup right. Takes about ten seconds and nothing on your site is touched. Run the free check.
If the email records come back failing, that's worth reading about on its own. If it's the site, here's how I build them, and here are five things to ask anyone quoting you.
Tell me about the business.
Say what you're trying to achieve and I'll tell you what I'd do, including when the answer is an hour on your Google Business Profile would do more than a new site.
