Landscaping Financing Options (2026): Show Monthly Payments on Your Site
Landscaping financing options can help homeowners plan patios, sod installs, lighting, and hardscapes. Add a free “See monthly payments” referral button to your site, collect project inquiries with a separate lead form, and send estimates with illustrative payment previews. Works with any website; upgrade later for AI quotes and team-sent follow-up templates.
What are landscaping financing options?
A financing referral button lets homeowners leave your site for a third-party lending marketplace to explore payment options for outdoor projects. Any application and credit check happen there under the marketplace’s and lender’s terms. Place a separate BuildFolio lead form nearby to collect project inquiries.
- Works on any site — WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, custom HTML.
- No credit card to start — the widget is included in the Free tier.
- Manage project inquiries — leads submitted through the separate lead capture widget appear in your dashboard; marketplace applications do not.
Boost close rate
Seeing $/mo beats sticker shock. More homeowners say yes to patios and lighting packages.
Increase average ticket
Financing makes upgrades (pavers, pergolas, low-voltage lighting) easier to approve.
Faster decisions
A clear link to the marketplace lets homeowners review any available lender offers on their own time.
Payment examples by project size
| Project | Typical amount | Example payment* |
|---|---|---|
| Sod install (2,000 sq ft) | $3,500 | ≈ $81/mo |
| Landscape lighting (10 fixtures) | $4,800 | ≈ $111/mo |
| Paver patio (250 sq ft) | $9,500 | ≈ $219/mo |
| Pergola + planting | $14,000 | ≈ $322/mo |
