Facebook ads can bring in the leads you need to grow your landscaping business. But let’s be real: a lot of landscaping business owners waste money on ads that don’t work. I’m about to show you how to set up Facebook ads the right way—without the fluff, so you can start generating more business today.
Setting Up Your Meta Business Suite
If you haven’t set up your Meta Business Suite yet, stop reading and do that first. It’s the backbone of your Facebook ads. Here’s how to set it up in simple steps:
Create a Business Manager account
Go to Meta for Business and create your Business Manager account. This is where you’ll manage all your ads and pages.
Set up your Facebook Page
Make sure your landscaping business page is active and up-to-date. If you don’t have one, create it. Don’t skip this.
Connect your Instagram account
Instagram is part of the Meta network, and cross-platform advertising is a must. Link it to your Business Suite.
Once your account is set up, you’re ready to start running ads. Simple, right? Now let’s make sure you’re targeting the right people.
Targeting the Right Neighborhoods and Demographics
You don’t want to waste money showing your ads to the wrong people. Facebook has some powerful tools to make sure you’re hitting the right market.
Location
Target specific neighborhoods or zip codes where you know homeowners are likely to need landscaping services. If you’re unsure where to start, check out this guide on Facebook ads for landscaping.
Demographics
Facebook allows you to target based on age, income, homeownership, and more. For lawn care, target homeowners who are likely to invest in their lawns. In most cases, people between 30–50 years old with a decent income are your best bet.
Interests and Behaviors
You can also target people who have shown interest in gardening, home improvement, or related topics. It’s a smart way to narrow down your audience.
The key here is to be specific—don’t just target “everyone.” Go after people who will actually hire you.
Crafting Engaging Visuals and Copy
Your visuals and copy are the first thing potential clients will see. Make sure they stand out. Here’s what you need:
Eye-catching images or videos
Use high-quality images of your best work, like before-and-after shots of a lawn you’ve transformed. Videos can be even more effective. Show potential clients what you can do in action.
Simple, clear messaging
Keep your ad copy short and direct. Highlight the problem you solve. Something like, “Want a perfect lawn without the hassle? Call [Your Business Name] today.” People skim Facebook, so make it easy to understand in a second.
Call to Action (CTA)
Always include a CTA. “Get a free estimate” or “Book your consultation now” is a simple but powerful way to push people into taking action.

Analyzing Performance and Retargeting Leads
Once your ads are live, don’t just set it and forget it. You need to track performance and make changes to improve results.
Check your results regularly:
Inside your Meta Business Suite, you’ll be able to see how many people are seeing your ad, clicking on it, and how many are taking action (like booking a consultation). This is key to knowing if your ad is working or if it needs adjustment.
Retarget people who showed interest:
If someone clicked on your ad but didn’t book, retarget them with a follow-up ad. Remind them about your services or offer a discount to close the deal.
Adjust based on data
If your ad isn’t performing well, change the copy, try a new image, or tweak the audience targeting. It’s all about testing and optimizing.
