Full Breakdown
hardscaping is a high-ticket, low-volume trade. a patio or retaining wall is a considered purchase measured in tens of thousands of dollars, so the standard home-service playbook — chase volume, drive cost per lead to the floor — works against you. it fills the calendar with browsers and buries the two or three homeowners a month who are genuinely ready to commit to a build.
we built the campaign to filter rather than to accumulate. creative led with finished-project photography so the ad itself did the qualifying: homeowners actively planning a build responded, casual browsers scrolled past. lead volume was allowed to stay modest on purpose, and speed to the in-home estimate was treated as the number that mattered — on jobs of this value the estimate visit is where the sale is won or lost.

on high-ticket trades, fewer and better beats more and cheaper. six signed projects off 43 leads is the whole model — the ads were built to filter, not to fill a pipeline.
