What platforms should a landscaping company in Hideaway focus on?

Facebook and Instagram. Facebook because that's where Hideaway community groups live and where people ask for recommendations. Instagram because landscaping is visual and before-and-after content performs extremely well there. We can look at others down the road, but those two will keep you busy.

How often should a landscaper be posting on social media?

Three to five times a week during your busy season, at minimum twice a week in winter. Consistency matters more than volume. One good before-and-after post beats five generic "Happy Monday" graphics every time.

Do I need to create all the content myself?

No. You send us photos and a quick note about the job — what you did, where it was, anything interesting. We turn that into posts with proper captions, hashtags, and timing. If you forget to send photos, we'll follow up. That's part of the deal.

How long before social media starts bringing in actual work?

Most landscapers start seeing DMs and quote requests within the first couple months if the content is consistent and local. It builds on itself — every post is another piece of proof sitting on your profile for the next person who finds you.

Can you run paid ads for my landscaping business too?

Yes. Our social media and ads program starts at $750/mo and that includes targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram aimed at homeowners in Hideaway and the Tyler area. Organic posts build trust. Paid ads put you in front of people who haven't found you yet.

Social media marketing for landscapers in Hideaway

You've got a truck, a crew, and a phone full of job photos you never post. Meanwhile, the landscaper down the road is booking work off Instagram reels shot on the same phone you've got in your pocket. Social media isn't optional anymore for landscapers in Hideaway — it's where your next yard comes from.

$750 a month — spent right or spent stupid

That's what a real social media and ads program costs, starting at $750/mo. Not pocket change for a landscaping crew. So the question isn't whether to spend it. It's whether what you're doing right now is worth anything at all.

Posting a blurry mulch photo every six weeks with "Call us for a free estimate!" as the caption? That's not marketing. That's a chore you half-do and then feel guilty about. Nobody's engaging because there's nothing to engage with.

If you're going to put money and time into social media, it should come back as phone calls. Not vanity metrics. Not follower counts. Calls from people in Hideaway and the surrounding area who need their property handled.

Landscapers have the easiest content on earth

Before and after photos. That's it. That's your whole content strategy and it works every single time.

A patchy, weed-choked yard next to the same yard two days later with fresh sod and clean edges — people stop scrolling for that. Overgrown beds turned into something the homeowner actually wants to look at. A crumbling patio replaced with flagstone. This stuff performs on Facebook and Instagram because it's visual proof that you know what you're doing.

The problem is you're busy actually doing the work. You're not thinking about angles and captions while you're running a string trimmer at a property off Hideaway Lake. We handle the posting, the scheduling, the hashtags, the geo-targeting — all of it. You just send us the photos when you remember. We'll nag you if you forget.

Hideaway runs on word of mouth — social media is the new version

Hideaway's a tight community. Everybody around the lake talks. Pine Ridge folks recommend each other's contractors. Walnut Creek Park neighbors share notes over the fence.

Social media just puts that same word-of-mouth on a screen. When someone in the neighborhood posts asking "who does your lawn?" and your name comes up with a link to a page full of local work — that's the job. Done. No bidding war, no price shopping. They already trust you because their neighbor showed them your feed.

We build that feed so it's worth showing. Not stock-looking graphics with your logo slapped on them. Real work, real properties, real results from right here in Smith County.

Tie it to something that actually books jobs

Social media without a website is a dead end. Someone sees your work, taps your profile, and then what? A phone number and a bio that says "Est. 2019"?

You need somewhere to send people. A page with your services — mowing, design, mulch, hardscape, seasonal cleanups — and a quote form that takes thirty seconds to fill out. We build those too, starting at $1,500 for a full site.

The social feeds into the site. The site turns a curious scroller into a booked estimate. That's the only reason any of this matters. If your social media isn't connected to something that books work, you're just entertaining people for free.
