Tired of looking at that patchy backyard? We build paver patios that last decades. Free on-site quote this week.

The same backyard after the build: a grey and charcoal paver patio with a raised seating area, planting beds and low-voltage lighting at dusk. A backyard before the build: patchy grass, bare dirt and a weathered wooden deck. Drag to compare

Where your marketing money is actually going

Paying an agency? Or paying nobody?

Most contractors either overpay an agency that sends monthly PDFs they never open — or buy shared leads from Angi and Houzz and compete on price. Here's what either looks like next to a Bytown month.

Before

The agency retainer

$2,500
per month · unclear results
Agency retainer
$2,000
Ad spend (managed by agency)
$500

"They send you a PDF every month. You still don't know what's working."

And if you're not paying an agency, you're buying leads from Angi, Houzz or Thumbtack — the same lead sold to three other contractors, so you're bidding against yourself before the first site visit.

We ran Ads and got Bytown to audit it. First day, it found hundreds of dollars wasted paying for clicks from forty minutes outside my service area. Instant savings.

Questions contractors actually ask

You tell Bytown which work you want. It builds campaigns around hardscape searches like paver patio installer and retaining wall contractor, and adds negative keywords for mowing, cleanup and snow — so the budget stops paying for the calls you do not want to take.

It is a reasonable start in most service areas. Hardscape searches are lower volume than maintenance, so a modest daily budget still reaches homeowners planning real projects. Bytown suggests a number from your service radius and average job value, and you change it any time.

Yes — pause any campaign in one message and resume when quoting season starts, with no penalty and no cancellation call. Plenty of contractors run design-and-quote campaigns through late winter to fill the spring book, then shift budget to install-ready searches once the crews are out.

They help on Meta, and you almost certainly have them on your phone already — Bytown builds carousels from your own project shots. No photos ready? Start with Google Search ads, which are text only, and add the photos later once the phone is already ringing.

Those platforms sell the same lead to several contractors, so you are competing on price the moment the phone rings. Bytown ads send homeowners to your own site or phone, so the lead is yours alone and you compete on your work instead of your quote.
