Landscape contractors · Social media

A rooftop garden in its third summer is the only post that matters.

Social media for a landscaping contractor is where villa owners, terrace owners and architects see what your gardens look like a year after handover. GullySales plans the posting round return visits and live site work, and answers the messages asking for a rate before they go cold.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What social media means

Social media is the ongoing posting your business does on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn to stay visible to customers and prospects between purchases. GullySales plans a posting calendar, writes captions and designs the images so the page looks active and answers what a visitor would ask.

For landscape contractors

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Handover photographs are the weakest thing you can post”

    Small plants and fresh turf prove nothing to a buyer who has watched a garden die. The same frame a year later is the post that gets saved.

  • “Owners arrive with a picture from a foreign resort”

    Instagram sets the expectation and your quote has to survive it. Post the species that take this heat beside the look owners keep asking for, and the conversation starts honestly.

  • “Architects follow contractors quietly”

    A practice checking whether you can execute a schedule will read your feed before it rings. Posts about sourcing, plant sizes and site work speak to them, not to homeowners.

What we do

What we deliver for landscape contractors.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A posting plan built on return visits

    A schedule of older gardens to photograph each month, so the feed carries mature work rather than whichever site happens to be open.

    Result: Your account proves the gardens last.

  2. Before and after pairs from the same frame

    A marked camera position at each site, so the handover photograph and the one taken two summers later line up exactly.

    Result: The proof needs no explaining.

  3. Content for the architect and for the owner

    Sourcing, plant sizes and site work for practices, and finished rooftops and lawns for owners, posted to one account on a rota.

    Result: Two very different buyers both find something for them.

  4. Messages answered with questions, not rates

    A saved reply asking for the area, the water source and photographs, with agreed hours and the enquiry logged instead of lost in an inbox.

    Result: A rate hunter becomes an enquiry or goes away quickly.

  5. A report on enquiries from the account

    Saves, profile visits, messages and the site visits traced back to them, set against the baseline recorded before work starts.

    Result: You can tell whether posting brought any work.

How the result is measured

  • Posts published
  • Engagement rate
  • Enquiries from social profiles

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Platform for this buyer

Where garden buyers and architects look, and what to post for each.

Instagram for the same-frame sequence
Post the bare site, the handover and a return visit from one angle. Caption plant names, the area, sun and soil, so owners see how the garden has grown.
Housing community WhatsApp groups
Answer plant care questions in full with a photograph. Mention your business only where the group's rules allow, and wait until someone asks.
Pinterest boards by garden type
Pin terrace, courtyard and balcony gardens by type, linked to project pages. Owners arrive with reference images and ask you to match them.
LinkedIn for architects and builders
Post hardscape, drainage and irrigation drawings beside the finished space. Architects look for contractors who understand levels and water.
YouTube Shorts for plant care
Film one lesson per clip, such as how deep to water in the dry season. It keeps past clients linked to you.
What not to post
Do not post a plant list you cannot supply this season, or a client's villa name and gate. Check each plant's price and availability before it appears in a caption.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the social media work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your audience and platforms

    We identify which platforms your specific buyers actually use and what kind of content they respond to.

  2. 2

    Audit current presence

    We review existing pages, past content performance and any gaps in consistency.

  3. 3

    Build the content calendar

    A plan is created, balancing genuine value with occasional direct offers.

  4. 4

    Implement and post

    Content is created and published consistently on the agreed schedule.

  5. 5

    Measure and optimise

    We track enquiries alongside engagement and adjust the content mix based on what actually performs.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Instagram or Facebook for a garden contractor?
Instagram for villa and terrace owners and for architects. Facebook still reaches apartment groups and older owners in many cities. Run one of them properly rather than both badly.
What do we post in the monsoon when no planting is happening?
Return visits. The rains are when gardens look their best and when last year's work proves itself. Those weeks are for photographing old sites and for showing the maintenance nobody else bothers to show.
If we post plant care tips, will customers stop calling for maintenance?
Some will do it themselves, but most buy maintenance for the work they cannot or will not do. Tips show you know the plants and earn trust. Keep the tips basic and add a line on what your maintenance visit covers.
Owners send us photographs from foreign resorts. May we post them as inspiration?
Do not repost another photographer's image as if it were your work, since it is their copyright. Use it privately as a brief, and tell the owner what suits their sun, soil and water. Post your own finished gardens, tagged with plant names.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
