Landscaping Write For Us
Four phrasings across six garden and lawn terms returned 151 candidate pages. We opened every one of them, and 69 were live and genuinely asking for contributions.
20 of those sit at Open PageRank 2 or higher, the floor our master list uses. A hand review removed 3 more.
The table below is 17 sites. Each was reachable, inviting pitches, and publishing about gardens, lawns or outdoor build work on the day we looked.
44 candidates answered with a bot challenge rather than a page. That is the largest blocked share of any vertical we have crawled, and it is recorded as blocked, not as dead.
When a site does name a price, MentionAgent records it. There are 263 quoted prices in our conversation table as of 22 September 2026, and 230 of them state a figure we can read.
The median quote is $175. The middle half run from $86 to $369, and the highest single number we have been sent is $3,200.
67 quotes came in under $100 and 19 asked for $750 or more. The spread is the point: there is no going rate, only what each editor decides to ask.
Some of the rest are not one number at all. Quotes in our table include tiered prices per link type and package deals for blocks of ten posts.
Counted from MentionAgent's production conversation table on 22 September 2026, across every workspace. Prices our own outreach was quoted, not a market survey.
Landscaping sits in an unusual spot. The searchers are contractors and garden brands who want coverage, but most sites publishing this subject are home and outdoor blogs rather than trade press, so their contributor pages read like lifestyle guidelines rather than industry ones. That changes what lands: a planting method or a build walkthrough gets read, and a company profile does not.
How this list was built
Nothing here was copied from another list. Every row began as a search result and finished as a page we fetched and read ourselves.
The footprint search ran four phrasings against six terms: landscaping, garden design, lawn care, gardening, hardscaping and lawn maintenance. After stripping publishing platforms, press wires and competitor listicles, 151 candidate domains remained.
Each one was fetched. 69 passed, meaning the page loaded and actually invited contributions rather than merely containing the phrase. The 82 that failed were 44 blocked by bot protection, 23 off-topic, 10 selling placements and 5 unreachable.
Blocked is recorded as blocked. We could not read the page, which is a different statement from knowing it has gone.

Open PageRank runs 0 to 10 on a logarithmic scale, so the distance from 2.0 to 3.0 is far wider than it looks. We publish it because anyone can check it, not because it predicts whether a placement sends you a customer. On that question, judge whether the readers are yours.
What the rejected sites tell you
Ten sites named a fee on their contributor page. That is advertising rather than a guest post, Google expects it to be marked as such, and where it is not the risk sits with the buyer rather than the seller. We removed them from the list and counted them here.
The hand review took out three more that passed the automated checks. One was a French photo agency whose become-a-contributor page sells images. One was an agency that sells placements into this niche rather than publishing them. One was a listicle of gardening guest-post sites, which is a competitor to this page rather than a place to pitch.
That last category is worth watching for. A page titled like a publisher's submission page, which is really a directory, will pass any check that only asks whether the words are present.
Seasonality decides when you pitch
Garden publishing runs on a calendar in a way that most verticals do not. Editors commission spring planting in January and winter protection in September, so a pitch that arrives in the month the work happens has already missed the slot.
Several of the guidelines above say this outright, and the ones that do not still behave that way. Send a seasonal idea one full season ahead and it reads as useful. Send it in season and it reads as late.
The exception is repair and emergency work. Storm damage, drainage failures and frost cracking get published when they happen, because the readers searching for them are searching that week.
Local garden sites versus national ones
The table mixes two kinds of site and they behave differently. National home and garden blogs have the higher scores and the stricter guidelines. Regional gardening sites score lower and reply faster, and their readers are far more likely to live where you work.
For a contractor the regional site is usually the better placement even though the number beside it is smaller. For a product brand shipping nationwide the calculation flips. This is the same trade we describe on the plumbing page, where ten sites was the whole publishable pool.
What a landscaping placement is worth
A placement is worth what its readers do next, which is why we publish the submission path rather than a score alone. A garden blog with an engaged regional readership can send a contractor real enquiries. A higher-scored general lifestyle site often sends nothing at all.
Our view on this has not changed across any of these pages: judge the audience first. The Open PageRank column is there to help you triage a list of seventeen, not to rank them for you.
What to send a landscaping editor
Two requirements appear on most of the pages above: your own photographs, and no affiliate links in the body. Garden writing lives on pictures, and a piece submitted with stock imagery reads as filler to an editor who publishes real gardens.
Pitch the job, not the company. A drainage fix with before and after shots, a planting plan that failed and what replaced it, or a costed patio build will get read. A roundup of the best tools will not, because every brand sends one. The same rule holds next door in roofing and plumbing.
Our guest post pitch template covers the structure, and the subject line guide covers whether it gets opened at all.
Frequently asked questions
Do these landscaping sites accept guest posts for free?
The 17 listed here invite pitches without naming a fee on their submission page. That is not a promise. Ten sites we checked did name a price and were removed for it, and across MentionAgent's own outreach we hold 263 quoted prices with a median of 175 dollars. Expect some of these to quote you once you write in.
How recently was this landscaping list checked?
Every submission page was fetched on 22 September 2026. That matters more than it sounds. On an earlier rebuild of our niche guest-posting pages, 29 of 101 previously published domains no longer verified after 11 days, because the page had gone, started charging, or stopped inviting contributions.
Why were so many landscaping sites blocked rather than rejected?
44 of the 151 candidates answered our request with a bot challenge instead of a page, the highest blocked share of any vertical we have crawled. We record those as blocked and leave them off the list, because we could not read the page ourselves. Blocked is not the same as gone, and we will not publish a row we did not verify.
What Open PageRank should a landscaping site have before I pitch?
We cut at 2.0 to match our master list, but treat it as a filter rather than a ranking. A small local garden blog whose readers hire contractors is worth more than a higher-scored general site that will bury the piece three clicks deep.
Is landscaping write for us different from gardening write for us?
They overlap but they are not one query. The gardening phrasing pulls in hobby growers and plant blogs, while the landscaping one leans towards build work, hardscaping and contractors. Both draw on the population this page verified, and the sites below were found by searching six terms rather than one.
Will a landscaping guest post actually bring work?
It brings work when the piece reaches people who hire, which is why we would judge a site by its audience before its score. Across MentionAgent's own campaigns only a small fraction of replies end in a confirmed link, so cold pitching at volume is not the lever. One well matched placement on a site your buyers read beats ten on sites they do not.
