Someone searching for a gardener or a lawn mowing service is usually looking for something recurring — a regular mow, an overgrown section brought under control — and deciding on reliability as much as price. Your website’s job is to look like a business that actually turns up. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
“Lawn mowing [suburb]”, “gardener near me”, “section clean up quote”: a lot of this is the start of a recurring relationship, not a one-off job, so people are quietly checking whether you sound reliable as much as whether you sound cheap.
That changes what the website is for. It is there so someone can see, fast, what areas you cover, whether you do one-offs or regular rounds, and a phone number or form that actually gets answered.
Mowing and general garden maintenance do not need a licence. If your business sprays herbicide or pesticide commercially, though, an Approved Handler certificate under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act may be required for certain classified agrichemicals — and it is worth naming if you hold it. For everyone else, public liability insurance is the fact people actually look for before letting someone loose on their section with a chainsaw or a mower.
Most people hiring a gardener have no way to check any of this themselves. Saying plainly whether you are insured, and whether you hold an Approved Handler certificate if spraying is part of the job, removes doubt before they ever call.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of gardeners and lawn care businesses they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for a gardener than for most trades, because this is usually a recurring service, and reliability — not one clever photo — is what someone is actually trying to judge. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Only if spraying herbicide or pesticide is part of what you offer — an Approved Handler certificate can be required for certain classified agrichemicals under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act. For mowing and general maintenance, public liability insurance is the fact people actually look for.
The suburbs you cover, whether you do one-off tidy-ups or regular rounds, a phone number or form that gets answered, and whether you are insured. That matters more than a paragraph about your company history.
Yes. Gardening, lawn mowing and hedge trimming sit close enough together in how people search and hire that the same page structure works for all of them.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.
Not a gardener? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.
Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
