Landscaping marketing that keeps every crew booked, season after season.
We build the landscaping lead generation engine that fills your maintenance routes, books the big design-build projects, and carries you through the slow months, run it for you, and hand you the keys. No more renting shared leads that four other crews already bought.

A few details about your business.
So we can study your market before the call and make it worth your time.
You're building toward it.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for businesses doing $500K+ a year, so the growth engine has enough to really compound. You're not quite there yet, and that's completely okay.
We've got your details. As you grow, we'll send you the moves that get you there, and the moment you cross $500K, you'll be first in line.

The best portfolio in town loses to the one the homeowner finds first.
A backyard build is not an impulse buy. Homeowners sit on it for months, collect three renderings, and hand the job to whoever earned their trust first. Landscaping marketing is what gets you into that decision before the other two designs show up.
So we build one engine: the search presence, the site, the project galleries, the ads, the follow-up. We run it while you run crews. The website is fully yours at month 6, and your leads and reviews are in your name from day one.
In 2015 I started Four28 Marketing with one goal: give local businesses an unfair advantage in their market.
Eleven years and 250+ businesses later, one pattern kept jumping out. Home services was the one place I could run the same playbook and watch it actually work. Not a slide in a quarterly review, real jobs on a real calendar. I’d rather move the needle for a small business than a Fortune 500 any day.
So we took everything we had built over a decade and pointed all of it at one thing.
You build stunning yards. So why is growth this hard?
None of this is a craft problem. It is a demand problem, and demand is the one thing in a landscaping company you can build.
Spring rush, winter dead zone
April buries you in calls you cannot return, then the phones die after the last fall cleanup. You staff up for the rush, then bleed payroll through a winter with nothing on the board.
Shared leads resold to four other crews
You pay for a landscaping lead, then find out four crews got the same homeowner. You win maybe one in five and burn your evenings quoting jobs that were never really yours.
Routes too thin to make money
A maintenance route with drive time between every stop eats its own margin. Without steady new accounts in the right neighborhoods, your trucks spend the day commuting instead of cutting.
The door-hanger and referral plateau
Door hangers, yard signs, and word of mouth got you to seven figures, but they cannot get you past it. The homeowner planning a $60K backyard is searching online, and finding someone else.
You already build the best yards in town.
You run real crews and a real design process. Your finished work sells itself, once somebody sees it. What you want now is a steady feed of qualified consults, a calendar you can plan a season around, and an engine you actually own.

“I've worked with plenty of agencies that promise the world and deliver a folder full of vanity metrics. Contractor Fast Lane is different. They feel like an extension of our team and take the time to understand our industry instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all template. Since partnering with them we have seen a significant increase in qualified leads and a real boost in ROI, and our cost per acquisition has dropped.”
We've used a number of marketing agencies over the years. Contractor Fast Lane has hands-down been our favorite to work with. We tell everyone that they need to hire them. They exponentially increased our revenue. They are phenomenal to work with!
I was with a different company for TWELVE years whom I trusted, only to find out he had not been performing yet was charging us anyway. We didn't have our log-ins, never got reports, and had no idea what we were missing.. until my wife found these guys. Daniel and the team have made my business shine. They are a God send.
My husband and I run a local business, and when it came time to grow we knew we needed experts. Contractor Fast Lane came highly recommended from a friend who raved about them. They are crazy good at taking complicated, nerdy stuff and making it make sense, and they were always communicating so I never once wondered what was going on. Their SEO work for our market has been a game changer, and we have seen a tangible increase in our lead volume.
It was clear they had done extensive research on our industry before we ever sat down. We spoke to other agencies, but there was a distinct difference. What really stood out was their proven track record getting clients top rankings on Google. We needed a site built the right way, optimized and built to convert, and that is exactly what they delivered. Honestly, it has been one of the best investments we have made for our business.
My lawn care company needed to fill our schedule fast, and Contractor Fast Lane was the solution. They identified the best times, places, and people to target to maximize the amount and quality of the jobs my money was paying for.
They are AHMAZING! They truly care, are ethical and transparent, and do what it takes to help their clients. When you hire this team you get what you pay for, and we RANK #1. HIRE THEM!

Excellent people to work with. Very professional, very knowledgeable, very reliable. We had some time constraints and they came through big time. We could not be any happier. An A+ company!
Their team is very helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and quick to respond to any need we have. They have greatly improved our website, our SEO, and our social media. We are thankful and blessed to have them!
They walked through each step carefully to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, and that we understood everything. Communication was great, especially around expectations and next steps. I am very thankful we got connected with them.
We could not be happier. We looked at several options and this team had, by far, the most positive approach, and their price was very competitive. Throughout the whole process they were thorough and more than accommodating for our needs.
Daniel and his team are awesome to work with. They get the modern marketing landscape and provide tailored solutions that really work. We are thankful for the partnership and highly recommend them.
We worked with Contractor Fast Lane on our new website and appreciated their flexibility and commitment to delivering a polished result. Their team was highly responsive, adjusting thoughtfully to our revisions while maintaining clear and professional communication. If you are looking for a company that listens, refines, and delivers work tailored to your needs, they are a great choice!
Stop renting landscaping leads.
Own the system that makes them.
Buying landscaping leads is renting, and the day you stop paying, the calls stop with it. Owning your landscaping lead generation is an asset that compounds season after season and stays yours.
Pay forever. Own nothing.
Every new account costs as much as the last, and the leads vanish overnight the day you stop paying.
Build once. Compound for years.
Your cost per booked job falls as the asset grows, and the website itself is fully yours at month 6.
What landscaping demand costs in 2026
Published benchmarks for what landscapers pay per lead, channel by channel. Your market will vary, but the shape holds everywhere: rent every lead at these rates forever, or build the presence that makes them.
Sources: landscaping cost per lead, cost per click and conversion rate from LocaliQ's home services search advertising benchmarks (3,211 US search campaigns, April 2024 to March 2025).

Four systems.
One landscaping engine.
Most landscaping marketing leans on one channel and hopes, so we connect four that feed each other, and feed your crews a steady flow of booked projects and tight routes.
jobs
Get found, stay in front of the property owner, win the estimate, and follow up faster than any crew in town. That loop is what turns your landscaping company into the obvious choice in your market. See how the full engine works →
Nobody signs a patio bid off a price list. Your engine should know that.
Big yard projects close on pictures, trust, and patience. The money hides in months of quiet consideration, a design consult that has to earn its keep, and a build calendar the weather keeps rearranging.
1Built for a six-month decision
A homeowner pricing a backyard in January may not sign until the ground is workable. Your follow-up keeps showing up across that whole window with photos and answers, so you are still in the running when the budget clears.
2Your portfolio does the selling
Nobody commits to a five-figure build off a paragraph of text. We put your finished patios, retaining walls, and plantings in front of people as structured project galleries, so trust is built before the design consult starts.
3Filtered so you quote real projects
An hour spent pricing a shrub swap is an hour off a real build. The intake asks about scope, timeline, and budget range before anything reaches your calendar, so the consults you drive across town are worth the windshield time.
4Demand aimed at the open build weeks
Your build calendar is never evenly full. We push demand toward the weeks with holes in them and pull back when the crews are stacked, so you are filling gaps instead of selling a season you cannot deliver.
5First to the consult, not fourth
Homeowners request three designs in one sitting and go with whoever gets on the calendar first. Every inquiry gets an instant text and an open slot while you are still on a jobsite, so you become the appointment they keep.
6An asset, not a monthly invoice
Your leads, reviews, content, and customer list sit in your name from day one, and the website is fully yours at month 6. Rented demand costs the same every year. An owned presence keeps working after the invoice stops.
Find out if your market is taken.
We take one landscaping company per market. A 15 minute call tells you whether the territory you want is still open, and whether this fits how you build.
Book a Discovery Call →We know landscaping. It shows.
Everything that turns a design consult into a signed build. And it is yours.
Every piece of the system is built, connected, and run under one roof, no more juggling five vendors who do not talk to each other.
Landscaping SEO & Google Maps
We get your landscaping company ranking for the searches that matter, landscapers near me, landscape design, and backyard patio contractors across your service area, plus the Google map pack where the calls actually come from.
Google Local Services Ads
The Google Verified badge that puts your landscaping company at the very top of the results, pay-per-lead placement in front of homeowners ready to hire a crew, not collect five bids.
Landscaping PPC & paid social
Google Ads and Facebook and Instagram campaigns tuned to the spring rush, design-build season, and fall cleanup pushes, so you can turn demand up the moment a route or a build calendar has room.
A landscaping website built to convert
A fast, mobile-first landscaping website engineered to turn visitors into booked estimates, with project galleries, service-area pages, and quote requests that presell the job before you ever walk the yard.
Review & reputation engine
Automated review requests that build a wall of five-star Google reviews, the first thing a homeowner checks before trusting a crew with the yard every week or a $40K backyard once.
Speed-to-lead & CRM follow-up
Every landscaping lead gets an instant text and a spot on your schedule, then automated follow-up until they book, so no inquiry dies in a voicemail box while your crews are out on route.
Built for landscapers who already build it right.
You run real crews and real routes, and you want predictable, owned growth.
Contractor Fast Lane is built for established landscaping companies doing roughly $500K to $10M and up per year that have outgrown door hangers and referrals. If you already run real crews, we build the landscaping marketing engine that takes you to the next level. Your market locks when you start, so a competitor cannot buy the same system. Month to month, no contracts, and the website itself is fully yours at month 6.
Multi-phase and repeat buildsThe client who does the patio this year and the outdoor kitchen next, plus the neighbors who walk past the finished job.
Design-build & hardscapesThe $10K to $100K patios, plantings, and full-yard transformations that move the annual number.
Commercial grounds contractsSteady HOA, office park, and municipal grounds work that keeps crews busy in every season.
One landscaping company per marketWe work with a single landscaping company per service area. Yours locks when you start.
Your landscaping engine gets stronger every month it runs.
Landscaping compounds street by street. One finished backyard gets photographed, shown off at the next cookout, and searched for by name. The pages, galleries, and reviews we build early keep stacking behind it, so every season opens further along than the one before.
A discount blitz fills one spring, then quits. The landscape companies homeowners still call ten years later got there one finished yard at a time, and so do we.
Why we built this.
“I kept watching the same thing happen: a landscaper doing five-star work, running circles around the shop down the street, and still losing to them. Not because the other guy was better. Because he had a system bringing him customers, and they didn't.
So we built the system. Then we packaged the whole thing, done for you, for local service businesses ready to scale. We keep your calendar full, you run the jobs, and it is all in your name, right down to the website becoming yours at month 6.
No contracts, no lock-ins. We earn it every month. And we only take one company per market, so if yours is still open, I'd love to meet you.”
Your landscaping engine, running live.
A sample view of the system you would be running: appointments, pipeline, and the market you have locked, all in one place with nothing held hostage.
- Booked jobs land straight in your pipeline, not a shared marketplace.
- Every lead is exclusive to you and never resold to a competitor.
- The system compounds every month instead of resetting when you stop paying.
- Nothing held hostage: the website is fully yours at month 6, an asset on your books.
