THE SHORT ANSWER
An exclusive, qualified garden and landscaping lead in Belgium costs roughly EUR 40 to EUR 65 in 2026, with EUR 52 as the working average. At a close rate of one in 7 that is about EUR 364 per acquired customer, or 7.3 percent of a typical EUR 2,000 to EUR 8,000 project. Belgium sits at a multiplier of 1.00 against a Benelux baseline of 1.0, because Flanders and Wallonia behave like two different auctions: Dutch-language clicks are more expensive because installer density is higher there.
What a garden and landscaping lead costs in Belgium in 2026
These are prices for an exclusive lead: a homeowner who asked for a quote, matched your service area and job type, and whose details go to you and nobody else. Shared leads, sold to four landscapers at once, cost less per unit and more per customer.
Price per exclusive lead: EUR 40 to EUR 65, average EUR 52
Typical project value: EUR 2,000 to EUR 8,000
Exclusive leads needed per customer: 5 to 9
Cost per acquired customer: around EUR 364
Acquisition cost as a share of the job: about 7.3 percent
These figures are a benchmark model, not a survey. They combine an industry base range observed across Western European home-improvement campaigns with a country multiplier for local auction pressure. Treat them as a band to negotiate against, not a quote.
Why a more expensive lead is usually the cheaper one
The buyer behind these figures is a homeowner planning a terrace, fence or full garden redesign, and what moves them is the first warm weekend of the year.
Filtering on garden size, scope, budget band and start date removes 30 to 50 percent of raw form fills. The survivors cost more each and close far better. A EUR 65 lead you can actually service beats a EUR 24 lead you have to refuse, and the refused lead is not free: it costs a call, a diary slot and a small amount of your team's belief in the channel.
How many garden and landscaping leads a month your team can absorb
Volume is only useful up to the point your team can quote and deliver it. At 5 to 9 leads per customer, ten exclusive leads a month in this trade produce roughly 1 to 2 jobs, which at a typical EUR 5,000 project is somewhere around EUR 5,000 to EUR 10,000 of work landing in the diary.
Buy past that and the extra leads do not become extra jobs, they become slower callbacks on all of them. The pattern is consistent: businesses that raise volume before fixing quoting capacity see cost per acquired customer rise even though cost per lead is unchanged.
So set volume from installed capacity rather than from ambition, and raise it in steps you can staff. In Belgium that usually means one increase per quarter, timed ahead of the March to June peak rather than during it.
What separates a garden and landscaping lead that closes from one that does not
A budget band, by a wide margin. Garden projects have an almost unlimited range of possible specifications for the same square metres, so without a band you are designing blind. Garden size and scope come second. A homeowner who names a band converts several times better than one who does not, and the question costs nothing to ask on the form.
Why the season is decided in six weeks
Most of the year's work is committed between March and June, and by midsummer homeowners defer to next year rather than start. That gives this trade the narrowest effective selling window in home improvement, and the strongest argument for buying capacity-matched volume instead of a flat monthly retainer that spends the same in November as in April.
When garden and landscaping leads are cheapest in Belgium
Garden and landscaping demand peaks in March to June and bottoms out around November to January, driven mostly by the first warm weekend of the year.
Off-peak leads typically run 20 to 40 percent below the figures above, but they take longer to convert and more of them go cold. Buying volume in the trough and nurturing into the peak is the cheapest growth available in this trade, and almost nobody does it because it requires spending money in the month the phone is quiet.
Where the volume actually is
Antwerp, Ghent, Brussels and Liege carry most of the search volume and most of the competition, while close rates are often better in the surrounding municipalities where fewer installers bid. Buying by postcode rather than nationally is unusually valuable in a country this small, because a thirty-kilometre radius can cross a language border and double your effective competition.
What the paperwork does to your pipeline
Premium and subsidy schemes vary by region and change often enough that homeowners arrive with out-of-date expectations. The installer who can state what currently applies, in the customer's own region, closes more work than the one who says it depends. It is also the fastest way to disqualify an enquiry whose entire business case rested on a scheme that has closed.
Why two landscapers in Belgium report different figures for the same ads
At a 6 percent conversion rate, a garden and landscaping lead at EUR 52 implies a click price of roughly EUR 3. Lift that page to 12 percent and identical traffic delivers leads at about EUR 26 instead: no extra budget, half the cost per lead. This is the single biggest controllable variable in the whole calculation.
It is also why cost per lead benchmarks are argued about so much. Two landscapers in Belgium can run the same campaign against the same auction and report figures that differ by a factor of two, entirely because of what happens after the click.
How to test a garden and landscaping lead supplier in Belgium without risking a quarter
Buy a small, defined batch rather than signing a retainer, and decide in advance what success looks like. For this trade at these prices, a fair test is enough leads to expect two or three sales: at 5 to 9 leads per customer that means at least 27 leads, and anything smaller measures luck rather than the supplier.
Fix the postcodes and job types in writing before the first lead arrives, using Antwerp, Ghent, Brussels and Liege as your reference area.
Record time from lead creation to your first call attempt. If that number is above thirty minutes, you are measuring your own follow-up, not the leads.
Track cost per acquired customer against the EUR 364 benchmark on this page rather than cost per lead.
Agree the replacement rule for wrong area, wrong job type and unreachable numbers.
Confirm the price is exclusive of VAT and denominated in EUR.
Suppliers who are confident in their own quality accept every one of those conditions, because they know the arithmetic works in their favour.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a garden and landscaping lead cost in Belgium?
Roughly EUR 40 to EUR 65 for an exclusive, qualified lead in 2026, with EUR 52 as the working average. Shared leads sell for less, typically EUR 20 to EUR 32, but they reach three to five landscapers at the same time.
Why are garden and landscaping leads more expensive in some countries?
Because the auction is local. Belgium runs at a multiplier of 1.00 against the Benelux baseline, mainly because Flanders and Wallonia behave like two different auctions: Dutch-language clicks are more expensive because installer density is higher there.
When are garden and landscaping leads cheapest in Belgium?
In the November to January trough. Demand peaks in March to June, so off-peak leads run 20 to 40 percent below the figures above. They convert more slowly, so only buy them if you have the follow-up discipline to nurture into the peak.
What should I qualify a garden and landscaping lead on?
Garden size, scope, budget band and start date. Those five answers remove 30 to 50 percent of raw enquiries and lift close rate more than any change to your pitch.
Who is actually behind a garden and landscaping enquiry in Belgium?
Typically a homeowner planning a terrace, fence or full garden redesign, motivated by the first warm weekend of the year. Matching your first call to that motive rather than to your price list is what separates a 11 percent close rate from a 4 percent one.
Does a cheaper garden and landscaping lead in Belgium mean better economics?
Not on its own. What matters is cost per acquired customer against job value. At EUR 52 per lead and a typical EUR 5,000 project, acquisition runs at about 7.3 percent of revenue, and that percentage is the number to compare across markets.
