How much does a landscaping website cost in 2026?
A lawn care round and a design-and-build firm are both called landscaping, and their websites cost different amounts for one reason: photographs. A maintenance site needs a handful. A project portfolio needs dozens, well taken and well presented.
How much does a website cost for a landscaping business?
As of November 2026, a landscaping website on a website builder costs about $24 to $264 a year for the plan at published entry prices, for example $108 a year on Neweb Starter and $228 a year on Squarespace Basic, the portfolio-friendly option. A freelancer charges $500 to $10,000 or more per project and an agency $3,000 to $10,000 or more, according to Wix's cost guide. Add a domain from the second year, typically around $20 according to GoDaddy, and budget separately for photography if your work is design and build.

| Agency | $3,000 to $10,000 or more (Wix cost guide) |
| Biggest variable | Photography and how the portfolio is presented |

Facts checked November 2026.
Ask what a landscaping website costs and the honest reply is another question: maintenance or projects? A lawn and garden care business needs a clear, local site with services, a price guide and a form. A firm building patios, walls and whole gardens needs a portfolio, and a portfolio is where time and money go, into taking the photos, choosing them, and laying them out so a five-figure job looks like one.
This guide gives the published prices for building it yourself, sourced ranges for hiring help, the costs that recur each year, and a worked three-year example. The website cost calculator lets you model your own case, and the website cost guide for 2026 covers the general picture.
Three routes to a landscaping website
What each route costs upfront and in later years.
| Route | Upfront | Each year after | Source of the figure | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website builder, built by you or by AI | $0 to set up | About $24 to $264 for the plan; domain extra from year two | Vendor pricing pages (table below) | Lawn care and maintenance firms; smaller design-build firms with good photos |
| Freelancer | $500 to $10,000+ per project | Hosting, domain and paid edits | Wix's website cost guide | Design-build firms that want a custom portfolio and have the photography to fill it |
| Agency | $3,000 to $10,000 or more for a fully customised site | Hosting, domain and usually a maintenance retainer | Wix's website cost guide | Larger firms selling high-value projects, where brand and lead tracking justify the fee |

What drives the cost of a landscaping site
- Photography. The largest real cost for design-build firms, in time if you shoot it yourself and in fees if you hire a photographer for finished projects. We do not quote a figure because rates vary too much by region; ask two local photographers for a half-day rate. A phone, good light and the same viewpoint before and after go a long way.
- Portfolio design. Project pages with a brief, materials and a gallery take longer to build than a services list. On a builder that is your time; with a freelancer it is most of the quote.
- Seasonal updates. A landscaping site should change with the season. If a freelancer makes each change, four updates a year become four invoices. On a builder you make them yourself.
- Route and job software. Recurring lawn accounts are usually managed in lawn-care or field-service software, billed separately. Not a website cost; add the vendor's price to the website cost calculator if you are buying both.
- Storage and speed. Large image libraries can push you to a higher plan. Resizing photos before upload avoids that and makes pages faster.
- Email on your domain. A separate subscription with most builders, Neweb included.
Ongoing costs after launch
- The plan or hosting. Whatever you chose above, every year, at the renewal price rather than the first-term price.
- The domain. Often free for the first year with a builder, then charged yearly. GoDaddy's website cost guide puts a domain at $0 to $30 a year and says to expect around $20.
- Upkeep. The same GoDaddy guide suggests most businesses budget up to $500 or more a year for maintenance. On a hosted builder most of that is included in the plan; on a freelancer-built site it is paid edits and updates.
- New photography each season, if the portfolio is how you sell. Budget time at the end of every project to photograph it properly.
A worked example: a design-build firm on Squarespace, over three years
A small design-and-build landscaper chooses Squarespace for its portfolio templates and builds the site in-house.
- Year one: Squarespace Basic at $19 a month paid annually, $228. Annual plans include a domain for the first year. Total: $228.
- Years two and three: $228 a year for the plan, assuming the published price holds, plus a domain at an assumed $20 a year (GoDaddy's typical figure). Total: about $248 each year.
- Three-year total: about $724, plus photography and the owner's time to build and update the site.
The same three years on Neweb Starter would be $324 for the plan plus about $40 for the domain in years two and three, about $364, with the site drafted by AI rather than built from a template. The Squarespace route costs roughly twice as much and gives a design-build firm a better frame for its photographs; for a maintenance business that difference buys little. A freelancer-built portfolio starts at the bottom of Wix's published range, $500, and rises quickly with the number of project pages. The builder comparison for landscapers goes through the choice.

Costly mistakes landscapers make with websites
- Paying for design and filling it with poor photos. The photographs are the product page. Spend there first.
- Not photographing "before". It costs nothing on the first day of a job and cannot be bought afterwards.
- Committing to a long prepayment in your first season. A four-year term is cheap per month and expensive if the business changes direction.
- Paying a freelancer for every seasonal change. Choose a route that lets you swap the home page photo and headline yourself.
- Uploading full-size camera files. They slow the site and eat storage. Resize first.

Start freeFrequently asked questions
How much does a lawn care website cost?
A lawn care or maintenance site is simple, so a builder plan covers it: about $24 to $264 a year at published entry prices as of November 2026, with Neweb Starter at $108 a year including hosting and a first-year domain. Route and billing software, if you use it, is a separate cost.
Why do landscaping websites cost more than other trade websites?
They do not have to, but portfolio-led sites often do because of photography and project pages. A plumber needs six photos; a design-build landscaper may need sixty, each chosen, resized and laid out. That is time on a builder and money with a freelancer.
Should I hire a photographer for my landscaping website?
If you sell design and build projects, professional photos of your best few gardens are usually worth more than a custom website design. If you sell maintenance, clear phone photos are enough. Get local quotes; rates vary too widely to give a reliable figure.
What does it cost to update a landscaping website each season?
On a website builder, nothing beyond your time: you change the headline, photo and featured services yourself. With a freelancer-built site, each update is typically billed, so agree a rate or a small retainer in advance.
What does Neweb cost for a landscaper?
Starter is $9 a month billed yearly ($108 a year) or $19 month-to-month, with managed WordPress hosting, SSL and a free first-year domain. Growth, at $24 a month billed yearly or $39 monthly, adds 10 AI blog posts a month, which suits seasonal garden advice. A Free plan lets you preview the site.
