Romeo, MI · Macomb County
A Victorian village on Van Dyke, surrounded by orchards and new subdivisions.
For the village shop, the large-lot trades and the orchard that earns its year in September.
Romeo landscaping and large-lot crews
Built for landscaping and large-lot crews working Romeo.
The orchard belt along Van Dyke is the busiest agritourism cluster in southeast Michigan from August to October, anchored by the Peach Festival. Around it, five-acre lots keep landscapers, excavators and fencing crews busy, and Washington Township’s subdivisions bring the practices and trades that follow new residents.
Orchards, cider mills and agritourism
Ranking in July, before the one season that pays for the year.

Who hires in Romeo
The village at the center of Macomb’s orchard belt.
Washington Township holds about 28,600 residents at a median income near $98,000, closer to north Oakland than to the rest of the county. The money around the old village is new: estates, subdivisions, and a festival season that fills Van Dyke on September weekends.

The honest comparison
What else landscaping and large-lot crews here pay for.
The real options for landscaping and large-lot crews in Romeo, described fairly. More than one can be the right call, and we will say so on a call.
A Macomb or Rochester agency retainer
$501 to $3,000 / mo
Several times what a village shop or a seasonal orchard can carry in the months it is not earning.
A Facebook page and the festival weekend
Free, and the weekend is real
Reaches people who already follow you. Not the Oakland Township family planning a Saturday in July.
Buying leads from the directories
$250 to $500 per booked job
Available for the trades, and the same lead goes to three other crews on the same lots.
A managed presence instead
$100 to $300 / mo
Ranking before your season, a profile set to the townships you serve, reviews that build all year. No upfront build.
What it has to earn
One landscaping contract a month covers it.
Here is the arithmetic, with the assumption stated so you can argue with it. One estate-lot project in Washington or Oakland Township; a seasonal contract is several times this.
We assume
$800
profit on one landscaping contract in Romeo. Yours is probably different. Substitute it and the rest of the maths still works.
The plan costs
$100 to $300
per month, with no upfront build fee. A managed site from $100, with local SEO $200.
So one landscaping contract pays for
2 to 8 months
Everything after that is margin. The site keeps working when you stop paying attention to it, which is what separates it from ads.
Against renting the same leads
The directories charge $250 to $500 per booked job on Angi or HomeAdvisor, and paid search in this trade runs about $118 per lead before anyone books. That is a cost per job, every job, with no end. Worse, 3 to 8 contractors get sold the same lead, so you are bidding against neighbours on price for work you all paid to reach.
A managed presence turns that from a cost per job into a fixed monthly one. It is slower to start: the site live in under ten days, the Google profile moving within the first month, search position building over three to six. Rented leads are faster on day one, which is exactly why they can charge per job.

“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Tony of Marhardt Consulting!”
What landscaping and large-lot crews in Romeo ask us.
Our orchard makes its year in six weekends. When should we start?
Spring. Families plan in July, so the site and profile need to be ranking with hours, prices and this year’s photos before the first weekend. Starting in August is starting late.
Do people search for Romeo or for Washington Township?
Both. Subdivision residents say Washington Township; visitors and Oakland Township customers say Romeo. We rank you for both rather than guessing.
Half our customers are in Oakland Township and Oxford. Can you reach them from a Romeo address?
Yes. The Business Profile is anchored to your address but set to a service area, and the site is written for the towns you drive to. The county line is invisible to Google when the copy says so.
What does a website cost for a Romeo business?
$100 to $300 a month with no upfront build: design, hosting, Business Profile, local SEO and review management. Seasonal businesses carry it year-round because the ranking has to exist before the season does.
Before you hire anyone

How much does a small business website cost in Michigan?
Real 2026 ranges, what actually moves the price, and the ongoing costs nobody quotes.
