Nelligan's Lawn & Landscape
Howell, Livingston County. Lawn and landscape.
Our work: website.
Livingston County web design has to keep up with the work you sell. Homeowners in Hartland, Genoa and Green Oak townships pay for quality, and they judge yours by the first site they open. Our hand-coded sites are fast and polished, so a premium price feels reasonable before you ever give an estimate.

Figures come from each client's published record, which states its reporting period and how results were measured. Past results belong to that client and are not a forecast.
Livingston County had a median household income of $103,737 in 2023, with 696 construction businesses and 468 specialty trade contractors competing for those households. Most residents live in townships, not cities. Hamburg Township alone had 20,953 residents in 2024, more than twice Howell's 9,914, and Genoa, Green Oak and Brighton townships are close behind.
Customers with that income are rarely shopping for the cheapest bid. They want to see that you do careful work, communicate well and show up when you say you will. A dated template with stock photos and a sluggish slider sends the opposite message, and that is what many agency-built sites in Michigan still are: drag-and-drop builds on legacy technology that look and load alike.
Our work in the county includes the website for Nelligan's Lawn & Landscape in Howell and Google Ads for Blade Runner Landscaping in Brighton. In both cases the site has to hold the same standard as the finished lawn. A hand-coded site gives you a design made for your business, pages that load quickly on any phone and full ownership of the site and domain.
The first things we would work on, before spending more money on reach.
A clean, specific design built around your real projects, so the site looks like a company that charges for quality and delivers it.
Pages built around the townships where your customers live, such as Hartland, Genoa, Hamburg and Green Oak, not only the two cities.
Before-and-after photos, project descriptions and reviews placed where a careful buyer looks, right beside the services they want.
Hand-coded pages that load quickly on a phone, with the site and domain in your name from launch.
Many local websites are built with drag-and-drop page builders. They are quick to set up, but they ship far more code than a page needs, and phones feel it first.

Where we can help, and where to go next.
Clear terms before any work starts. Google Ads management has a six-month initial commitment, then runs month to month with 30 days written notice.
Bring what you have today. Nick will tell you what is working, what is not and what he would change first.
Yes. We built the website for Nelligan's Lawn & Landscape in Howell, and we manage Google Ads for Blade Runner Landscaping in Brighton. We are based in Michigan, and planning for Livingston County projects happens on video or phone calls.
Use both. Keep your own address exactly as it appears on your Google Business Profile, and write service pages that name the townships people actually live in, like Genoa or Hamburg, alongside the cities.
Not when it is built by hand. The polish comes from layout, type and real photography, not heavy effects. We size every image for the screen it lands on, so the site looks expensive and still loads quickly.
Usually not exact prices, but a sense of typical project scope helps careful buyers sort themselves out. We will talk through what to show on the free strategy call, based on how you quote.
No strings attached. Choose a time, bring your questions and leave with a clearer next move.
