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

How to get started

01

Sign up and paste your website.

Paste your website and Bytown drafts campaigns around the hardscape work you actually sell — no keyword research required.

Get started
02

Approve the staged campaign.

Review every keyword, photo and budget, then approve with one click — nothing spends until you say so.

03

Watch the quote requests land.

Every lead is tracked back to the ad that produced it, so you always know your real return on ad spend.

Do the math yourself

Three numbers. One honest answer.

Punch in your average build value and how many extra jobs you'd need for this to be worth it. Hardscape volume is low and job value is high — which is exactly why paid search works for it.

$
/month
$

Industry average for local home-services on Google: $35–$115 per booked job. Source: LocaliQ 2025–2026 benchmarks. Hardscape sits at the top of that band — the searches are fewer and more contested — so the default is set to $115.

Estimated monthly upside

$50,310

Revenue from new builds after paying $690 in ad spend. Before Bytown's monthly fee. Before labour & materials.

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.

"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.

With Bytown

One platform. Every lead tracked.

Questions contractors actually ask

You tell Bytown which work you actually want. It builds campaigns around hardscape search terms like "paver patio installer" and "retaining wall contractor", and adds negative keywords for mowing, cleanup and snow — so your budget stops paying for the calls you don't want.

It's a reasonable starting point in most service areas. Hardscape searches are lower volume than maintenance, so a modest daily budget can still reach the homeowners planning real projects. Bytown suggests a starting number from your service radius and average job value, and you change it any time — up, down, off.

Yes. Pause any campaign in one message and resume it 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 search terms once the crews are working.

They help a lot on Meta, and you almost certainly have them on your phone already. Bytown builds carousels from your own project photos. No photos ready? Start with Google Search ads, which are text only. An Advisor can help you pick which shots to use.

Because you see the work before it runs. Every keyword, photo and daily budget is staged for you to read, and nothing spends until you approve it. Every lead is tracked to the ad that produced it, and you can cancel in one click if it isn't working.

Those platforms sell the same lead to several contractors, so you're 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.

Bytown Advisors are trained in-house marketing professionals who know the product inside out. They understand the problems small business owners actually face, and they give you advice when you need it — in the thick of the season, or during the winter lull.

Contractors and self-employed owners who want to run their own marketing with confidence. Whether you have never bought an ad or you have years of experience and want to push Bytown further, an Advisor coaches you through it until it clicks.

Add it to Pro or Max at checkout for $199 a month. You get a booking link by email straight away — pick your first hour to set everything up, and a second later to read your results together. Your two hours reset every month, and you can email your coach any time.
