The lawn you just cut is the ad. Sign it.
A small sign at the edge of every property you maintain, left up for a week, is how lawn-care companies grow a route without spending on ads.
A designer proofs your artwork within 2–4 hours and nothing prints until you approve it.
Route density is the whole business
Every landscaper knows the maths: the profitable accounts are the ones next door to accounts you already have. Drive time is the cost. So the best marketing you can do is convert the neighbours of your current customers — and the cheapest way to reach them is a sign in the lawn you just made look good.
Ask the homeowner first (most say yes, some ask for a discount — give it), place it at the curb for a week, move it to the next property. A rotating stock of 25 signs covers a whole route. At $8.76 a sign they pay for themselves with one new weekly account.
Seasonal signs work harder than generic ones. "FALL CLEANUP — book now" in October and "SPRING MULCH" in March pull more calls than "Lawn Care" in either. Order two short-run seasonal designs a year and keep a generic set for the months between.
Signs for the lawn, magnets for the truck, one artwork
The sign at the curb and the magnet on the door say the same thing in the same colours, because they come off the same file. One proof covers both, and they arrive in the same box.
- 10 double-sided yard signs, steel H-stake with every one
- A matched pair of 24" x 12" truck-door magnets, one per door
- A designer lays out both from whatever you send — even a photo of your old sign
- One proof back in 2 to 4 business hours, nothing prints until you say so
- Free FedEx Ground shipping, one box
Running two crews? The 25-sign version is $349 with the same magnets. Both sizes are on the kit page.
Route signs, a truck banner, a flag for the yard
Yard Signs
25 for $219 rotates across a full route. 50 for $399 if you run two crews. Steel stakes included.
Car & Truck Magnets
Truck-door magnets, set of 2 from $75. Same logo as the lawn signs; add them in the sign order.
Vinyl Banners
A 2×8 banner for the trailer or the supply yard fence — $60, hemmed and grommeted.
One crew, one route, one season
A generic set plus a seasonal set, so you always have the right sign in the truck.
| Contractor Kit — 10 double-sided signs + 24×12 truck magnets | $195 |
| 10 seasonal "Fall Cleanup" signs | $95 |
| Free design, proof in 2–4 hours, FedEx Ground shipping | Free |
| Total, shipped | $290 |
| Optional: 500 4×6 postcards for the doors either side of the lawn | +$119 |
The seasonal ten is the one people skip. Don’t — a dated message gets a response a generic one doesn’t, and $95 is less than one lost account. The postcards are the natural next step: the sign catches the neighbours who walk past, the postcard reaches the ones who don’t.
