Local Landscaper
40 Video Ad Scripts

Forty shoot-ready scripts for locallandscaper.com — the original 20 (buckets A–E) plus 20 competitor remakes (bucket R) rebuilt from downloaded-and-transcribed Headz Up + Buildometry ads. Every script is 9:16, raw-phone-reel energy, personality over polish.

DFW Metroplex 9:16 · 1080×1920 · MP4 UGC / phone-reel — no TV-commercial polish LIVE OFFER · 15% OFF + free estimate + NO DEPOSIT
v3 — now 40 scripts (Sep 10). Buckets A–E are the original 20, untouched. Bucket R is 20 new competitor remakes: we downloaded and transcribed 20 live Headz Up + Buildometry ads, then remade every formula for Local Landscaper — with all competitor locations, subdivisions, names, and phone numbers stripped out. R1 is the direct remake of Hagan's benchmark ad. v2 rules bind every talking render: 30–60 seconds, conversational pace with real pauses, 3–4+ camera angles in the directions, one locked voice per avatar. R-bucket montage remakes intentionally run 25–35s like their source ads.

What the market is running (transcribed)

  • Headz Up — 52–105s owner walkthroughs: feature-by-feature tour, obsessive material specs, a repeated signature line, soft CTA. All 5 actives transcribed.
  • Buildometry — 31–50s foreman educate videos (“biggest mistake…”, opinionated hot takes) + short music-only reveal montages.
  • Neither runs a discount offer — our 15% off + no deposit is a differentiator, not table stakes.

House rules (the edge)

  • One written price — transparent, no surprises.
  • No deposit — re-approved Sep 10; nothing down to get on the schedule.
  • Satisfaction guarantee — we come back free.
  • Free written estimate, licensed & insured, 5-star, locally owned.
  • Owner persona “Wes”: 45, jeans, button-up, hat, boots, DFW drawl.

Global specs

  • Format — 9:16 vertical, 1080×1920, MP4
  • Length — 30–60s. Hook still lands in the first 2s — then it breathes. ~2.3 words/sec, real pauses.
  • Angles — minimum 3–4 distinct setups per ad (wide establish, walking follow, close-up inserts, low-angle hero)
  • Voice — one locked voice ID per avatar, reused on every cut. Voice drift = re-render.
  • Look — real DFW backyards, no California aesthetic

Markets & location add-ons

Both winning competitors — Buildometry and Headz Up — are Rockwall-anchored, working the east / northeast DFW corridor (Rockwall, Heath, Forney, Sunnyvale, Mesquite, Garland, Plano). New-build homes, big lots, high ownership = prime $8k–$30k backyard demand. Use the tiers to decide where to run the agnostic 20; the location call-outs come later, in Phase 2.

targeting + Phase 2
Phase 1 Run all 20 location-agnostic — no city or neighborhood in the copy — to find the winning avatars & hooks. Phase 2 Layer these location call-outs onto the winners only, via the [AREA] swap below — zero re-render.

The 20 scripts ship location-agnostic on purpose. Once the agnostic test names your winners, layer a call-out onto those ads only — the video and audio never re-render.

  1. Caption layer (free, no regen): burn a lower-third 📍 [AREA], TX at ~1s plus an end-card line Now booking in [AREA]. Swap the text per market → 1 master = 20+ geo cuts at $0 extra render.
  2. Spoken tag (optional, mini-regen only): keep the master VO geo-neutral, then splice a 1-second spoken city tag (“…right here in [AREA]”) from a small pre-rendered tag bank. You regenerate one word, never the whole ad.
  3. Match the call-out to the tier: Tier 1 & 2 → name the neighborhood (“just finished one in Windsong Ranch”) for max proof; Tier 3 → name the city.

“Local Landscaper here — your neighbors are gonna be jealous.”

Script (VO / on-camera)

WES: Local Landscaper here — your neighbors are gonna be jealous. (WIDE: he steps into frame at the gate; camera starts a slow walking follow) Come take a walk with me. Three weeks ago this whole backyard was plain grass. + Phase 2: “…right here in [AREA]” (walking follow — unhurried, let the yard reveal itself) Travertine patio — stays cool underfoot even in July. Custom outdoor kitchen — built-in grill, fridge, real stone counters. (CLOSE-UP: his hand drags along the counter · LOW ANGLE up through the pergola) And that cedar pergola gives you shade at six o'clock without blocking the sunset. (beat — he stops, leans on the counter) We handle everything. Design, build, cleanup — one crew, one written price, no surprises halfway through. And if you're not happy when we're done? We come back and we make it right. That's in writing. (to camera, easy smile) You design it, we build it. Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes about thirty seconds.

Shot notes

  • Open mid-stride, already talking — no intro card.
  • Walking master + 3 cut-in angles: counter close-up, low-angle pergola, wide from the yard's far corner.
  • Delivery is slow and conversational — let every line land before the next.
  • Golden-hour light, real luxury backyard.
  • Natural pauses, minor imperfections = keep them.

“Wanna know how we quote a backyard? Here's exactly how it works.”

Script (VO / on-camera)

WES: People always ask how this works. It's simple — let me walk you through it. (MEDIUM: relaxed, sitting on the tailgate or leaning on the truck) Step one — you call, or you click below. I come out myself, walk the yard with you, take my measurements, and actually listen to what you want. (CUT: Wes measuring with the homeowner, chatting — natural sound under) Step two — I hand you one written price. Free. And that number doesn't move. No surprise change orders, no “well, actually” three weeks in. (CUT: crew laying pavers — slow pan across the work · CLOSE-UP: hands setting stone) Step three — you like the number, my crew gets to work. And if anything's not right at the end, we come back and fix it. Free. That's the guarantee. (beat — back to Wes, WIDE with the finished yard behind) Licensed, insured, five stars all over DFW. That's the whole deal — no fine print. (to camera) Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes about thirty seconds.

Shot notes

  • Count the steps on his fingers — physical, plain-spoken.
  • Cut to a real crew mid-build for the “work starts” beat.
  • End on him shaking the homeowner's hand if available.

“This whole thing? Nine days.”

Script (VO over build footage)

WES (VO): This whole thing? Nine days. Let me show you. (DAY 1 — WIDE: demo, old slab coming out) Monday, demo. Old slab out, yard cleared by dinner time. (DAY 2–3 — LOW ANGLE: base + drainage going in, hold the shot) Then base and drainage. This is the part nobody films — eight inches of compacted base, graded so water runs away from your foundation. Texas clay moves; you build for it, or you pay for it later. This is why our patios don't crack in three years. (DAY 4–6 — OVERHEAD progress pass · CLOSE-UP: hands setting pavers) Pavers down. Then the kitchen — stone, gas line for the grill, slot for the fridge. (DAY 7–8 — pergola raised · fresh sod rolling out) Pergola up. Fresh sod in. And we haul the site off clean every single evening — your neighbors will barely know we're here. (DAY 9 — DUSK HERO: string lights on, family cooking out) Friday after next? They're out here every night. You design it, we build it. (to camera / end card) Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes about thirty seconds.

Shot notes

  • Day-tagged time-lapse: “DAY 1… DAY 4… DAY 9.”
  • Hold on the drainage/base beat — that's the authority moment.
  • Payoff shot: string lights, family, food on the grill.

“Cold's coming — this is the one everybody wants right now.”

Script (VO / on-camera)

WES: Cold's coming — and this is the one everybody's calling about. (WIDE at dusk: fireplace already lit, Wes walks in from the side) Wood-burning fireplace. Seating wall. Flagstone all the way around. + Phase 2: “…for a family over in [AREA]” (CLOSE-UP: flames · slow push-in on the stonework) Built this one for a great family — they told me they'd been talking about it for five years. Took us eight days. (beat — he sits on the seating wall, fire glow on his face) Here's the thing about fall in Texas: it's the best three months your backyard is ever gonna get. Book now and we'll have it built before the holidays — fireplace, fire pit, whatever fits your yard. And it's fifteen percent off if you call this month. (to camera) Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes about thirty seconds.

Shot notes

  • Shoot at dusk with the fire actually lit.
  • Warm sweater/jacket wardrobe = sells the season.

“Okay I HAVE to show you what they just did to our backyard.”

Script (front-camera VO)

MOM: Okay I have to show you what they just did to our backyard — I've been waiting all week to post this. (FRONT CAMERA: inside, walking slowly toward the back door) Quick backstory. We put this off for YEARS. Every contractor either felt sketchy, or gave me some number that made me laugh, and I just didn't trust any of it. (hand on the door — beat) Then I found Local Landscaper. Free estimate, hundreds of five-star reviews, and the guy actually listened to what I wanted instead of upselling me. (pushes the door open — FLIP TO BACK CAMERA: slow pan across the reveal) LOOK at this patio. Look at the pergola. I'm obsessed. (hold — let the yard breathe · kids/dog cross frame) The kids are out here every single night now. I have to drag them in for dinner. (FRONT CAMERA again, walking the yard) If you've been putting it off like we did — just get the free estimate. Seriously.

Shot notes

“My husband did NOT want to do this.”

Script (front-camera VO)

MOM: My husband did NOT want to do this. (FRONT CAMERA: at the kitchen window, conspiratorial, glancing outside) He kept saying, “these guys are all the same — they take your deposit, cut corners, and disappear.” And honestly? After what happened with our fence guy… I got it. (walking toward the back door — unhurried) So I did my homework. Local Landscaper — licensed, insured, hundreds of real five-star reviews from right here in DFW. And the thing that finally got him: a satisfaction guarantee, in writing. Anything's wrong, they come back and fix it. Free. (opens door — FLIP TO BACK CAMERA: husband at the grill, smoke rolling, WIDE then slow push) That was six weeks ago. Now look at him. He's out here every weekend. He tells the neighbors about the drainage. The drainage. (HUSBAND, from the grill, without turning around) Best money we ever spent! (FRONT CAMERA: she grins — beat) (to camera) Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes thirty seconds.

MOM: I used to keep the blinds shut so nobody saw our backyard. I'm not kidding. (FRONT CAMERA: indoors, a little sheepish) This was it, three weeks ago— (holds phone up to the lens: dirt, weeds, sad slab — HOLD IT, let it land) Mud. Weeds. One sad little slab we never used. I was embarrassed to have people over. (beat) So one night I just texted Local Landscaper a picture — that picture. They came out two days later, walked the yard with me, and handed me one written price. Free. Nobody pressured me. Nobody camped in my living room. (SLOW 180° SPIN to the finished patio + fire pit · then CUT TO WIDE from the fence line) And now… THIS. Three weeks. Fire pit, new sod, the whole thing. My mom actually cried when she saw it.

Script (soft VO over b-roll)

MOM (VO, soft): This is what I wish we'd done years ago. (WIDE, morning light: kids running onto new grass) I always felt kind of guilty that the backyard was such a mess for the kids. It was the one room of the house we just… never finished. (dog trots through · MEDIUM: mom watching from the pergola, coffee in hand) Local Landscaper built all of this in about a week. Pavers, the pergola, fresh sod — so they finally stop tracking mud into my kitchen. (CLOSE-UP: little shoes on the pavers · sprinkler catching the light) Nobody rushed us. The crew cleaned up every single evening. And when I asked about one paver I didn't love — they swapped it the next morning. No hassle, no attitude. That's the guarantee, and they actually mean it. (GOLDEN HOUR: family dinner outside, string lights coming on — hold the shot) Honestly? Best money we've ever spent. If you're on the fence, just get the free estimate. It costs nothing to find out.

“Third contractor ghost you?”

Script (on-camera)

WES: Third contractor ghost you? Took the deposit, started the demo… and vanished? (TIGHT on his face — annoyed on your behalf · beat) Yeah. I hear that story every single week. And honestly, it makes me mad — because guys like that are the reason homeowners don't trust guys like me. (STEP BACK TO WIDE: finished yard behind him) So here's how we're different. We show up when we say we will. We finish what we start. And we don't even take a deposit — so there's nothing to run off with. (beat — let that one land) Your quote is one written number. And if anything's not right at the end — we come back and fix it, free. (CUT: crew working · CLOSE-UP: site swept clean at day's end) Licensed. Insured. Five stars all over DFW.

E2Authority — the drainage lesson
55sowner educational · kneel + follow the line

“Your patio's gonna crack. Here's why.”

Script (on-camera, kneeling at base)

WES: Your patio's gonna crack — and I can tell you exactly why before it happens. (OVER-SHOULDER: kneeling at an exposed base) Most guys pour concrete straight on Texas clay. Here's the problem — clay moves. It swells when it rains, it shrinks in August, and it'll heave a slab an inch without asking anybody's permission. Your patio splits right down the middle in year two or three. (CLOSE-UP: his hand on the clay · then WIDE of the graded base) So we do the boring part first. Eight inches of compacted base. Drainage graded away from the house. Edge restraints so nothing walks over time. (he points along the drainage path — CAMERA FOLLOWS the line) Nobody films this part, because it's not pretty. But it's exactly why our patios are still dead flat ten years later — and it's the reason we can put a guarantee in writing. (stands, dusts his hands — beat) Do it once. Do it right.

Flagstone all the way around. The whole thing sized so eight people can sit down without bumping knees. (OVERHEAD of the circle · MACRO on the flames · kids with s'mores) This is what gets the whole family outside instead of on the couch — s'mores on a Tuesday, the game on the projector Friday night, the dog claiming the warm spot every single time. (string lights on · WIDE dusk hero — hold it) We can have it built in about a week. And it's fifteen percent off this month.

“We just finished this backyard — let me show you exactly what we did.”

Script (on-camera walkthrough)

WES: Local Landscaper here — we just finished this backyard, and your neighbors are gonna be jealous. Let me show you exactly what we did. (WIDE: steps into frame at the gate; slow walking follow begins) Right here — travertine paver patio. Stays cool underfoot, even in a Texas July. + Phase 2: “…right here in [AREA]” (FEATURE STOP 1 — CLOSE-UP: his hand on the stone) Over here, the custom outdoor kitchen — built-in grill, fridge, real stone countertops, and a backsplash so nothing blows off the back. (FEATURE STOP 2 — MACRO: burner clicks on, drawer glides shut) Up top — cedar pergola. Shade at six o'clock without blocking the sunset. And we ran warm LED strip lighting through the beams, so this whole thing glows at night. (LOW ANGLE up through the pergola · DUSK INSERT: lights flick on) And around the edges — steel landscape edging, a river-rock border, low-maintenance plantings. The more layers, the more detail, the better it looks. (walking again — WIDE from the yard's far corner · beat — he leans on the counter) We handle all of it. Design, build, cleanup — one written price, no deposit. And if you're not happy when we're done? We come back and make it right. That's in writing. (to camera, easy smile) You design it, we build it.

R2Low-maintenance front-yard tour
50scurb walk-in · before-photo beat

“This front yard? Zero weekends of maintenance.”

Script (on-camera)

WES: This front yard takes them zero weekends to maintain. Let me walk you through it. (WIDE from the curb — he walks into the yard, camera follows) Steel edging around every bed — keeps the lines crisp for years, not months. Rock mulch instead of bark — never washes out, never needs topping off. (CLOSE-UP: the edging line · slow pan across the rock) These planters? Powder-coated steel, custom-built. And every plant in them was picked because it can handle August without begging for water twice a day. (FEATURE STOP — MEDIUM: hand on the planter edge) And this is what it looked like before. (holds his phone up to the lens: the before photo — HOLD IT, beat) Same house. Night and day. (beat — WIDE) Here's my whole philosophy: your yard should work for you — not the other way around. We design it low-maintenance, hand you one written price, free, and build it in about a week. (to camera) You design it, we build it. Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes about thirty seconds.

“Fresh install — here's what nobody shows you.”

Script (on-camera)

WES: We finished this yard about an hour ago — and I want to show you something nobody ever shows you: what a brand-new install looks like before it settles in. (WIDE: walking in, crew truck pulling away in background) See this gravel? Looks dusty and gray right now. First rain washes it off — it turns almost black. Same with this river rock — two-to-four inch, it lightens up a shade once it's clean. (CLOSE-UP: his hand runs through the gravel) These concrete bowls we had custom made — planted with agaves, so they stay sculptural with zero babying. Red yuccas in front of the boulders for a little fire of color. (FEATURE STOPS: bowls · boulders · yucca — new angle each stop) Stone border with a lueder cap along the walk — and we matched the mortar to the house, so it reads built-in, not bolted-on. (slow pan down the border line) Tomorrow the crew comes back and runs the lighting, and this whole yard glows at dusk. (beat) A yard is a system — rock, steel, stone, plants, light — layered so it looks better in year three than on day one. (to camera) You design it, we build it. Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes about thirty seconds.

Remake notes

  • Remake of their 105s mega-tour — the insider beats (“the rock looks dusty until it rains,” “lighting goes in tomorrow”) make it feel unscripted and expert.
  • Shoot day-of-completion for real crew/fresh-dirt texture.

WES (off-camera): Alright — come on out. Tell me what you think. (BACK CAMERA: following the homeowner through the door toward the yard) HOMEOWNER: Oh wow. Okay… wow. (she steps out — HOLD the genuine reaction · WIDE: the finished yard · CLOSE: her face) It's exactly how you said it would be. (beat — she walks the patio, hand trailing the counter) WES (off-camera): Complete makeover — patio, the kitchen, new sod. And it's all low-maintenance. HOMEOWNER: Which is perfect, because I do NOT garden. (laughs) You made this so easy. Seriously — from the estimate to… this? Easy.

R6Hot take — “no post in the middle”
45sowner under pergola · low-angle beam

“No post in the middle. Ever.”

Script (on-camera)

WES: See this big open span? No post in the middle. Let me tell you why that matters. (WIDE under the pergola — arms out at the open space) A lot of builders will drop a post right here — dead center — because it's easier and cheaper. Nothing “wrong” with it. We just don't build that way. (he walks to where the post would be, plants his feet — beat) Because that post ends up in the middle of your dinner table. Your sightline. The dance floor at your kid's graduation party. (CLOSE-UP: beam-to-post connection · LOW ANGLE down the beam line) Instead, we size up — bigger beam, bigger corner posts, steel reinforcement where the span calls for it. Costs a little more in steel. Buys you a completely open room. (beat — WIDE) So when somebody quotes you a pergola, ask them one question: “is there a post in the middle?” (to camera) We design around your life, not our convenience.

“We couldn't remove this. Here's what we did instead.”

Script (on-camera)

WES: Sometimes you inherit a problem you can't demo. This oak is forty years old. It stays. (MEDIUM at the trunk — pats it twice) So instead of fighting it, we designed around it. Cut the travertine to wrap the trunk — clean border, room for the roots to breathe. (WIDE: slow pan across the full patio) Floated the kitchen out to the sunny side where the smoke drifts away from the house, and pushed the seating under the canopy — that's free shade nobody had to build. (OVERHEAD or far-corner WIDE: the maximized footprint) The tree is still there. It's the best thing in the yard now — and this family got twice the patio they thought their yard could hold. (beat) Every yard has a constraint. Good design is what you do around it. (to camera) Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes thirty seconds.

R8Kitchen educate-tour — “serve your purpose”
45sVO tour · macro inserts

“Almost every backyard we build has one of these.”

Script (VO over tour footage)

WES (VO): Almost every backyard we build has an outdoor kitchen. And here's what most people get wrong — it doesn't have to be massive. It has to fit how you actually cook. (slow push-in on the grill · OVERHEAD of the full layout) This one isn't huge. But look — a big grill, a side burner, storage, a trash pull-out. That's it. That's everything this family actually uses. (MACRO: burner clicks on · drawer glides shut · light under the counter) We matched the stone to the fireplace and the house, went with a leather-textured granite on top, and added a backsplash so nothing blows off the back — with outlets right where you need them. (CLOSE-UPS: stone match, granite texture, outlet — each holds 2–3s) Simple. Built around your purpose — not the showroom. (DUSK: dad cooking, drink on the counter — 2–3 angles of the same moment) End-card VO: “Click below to schedule your free estimate.”

Remake notes

R9Educate — the counter-space mistake
45sowner at kitchen · overhead + macro

“The #1 mistake people make with an outdoor kitchen.”

Script (on-camera at a finished kitchen)

WES: The number one mistake people make with an outdoor kitchen? Not enough counter space. (MEDIUM: leaning on the counter, relaxed) Everybody budgets for the grill. Nobody budgets for the landing zone — where the platter goes, where the drinks sit, where three people stand around while you cook. (OVERHEAD: the counter run · CLOSE-UP: hands setting a platter down) Here's my rule of thumb: look at your kitchen counter inside the house. That's how much space you actually use. Give yourself at least that much out here. (beat — WIDE of the whole kitchen) Then plan for the people, not just the food. If your family hangs around you while you cook — and they will — you want a bar ledge or a seating side, so they're part of it instead of in your way. (DUSK INSERT: family around the bar ledge, kids on stools) Get the space right, and you'll use this thing every single week. Get it wrong… and it's a fifteen-thousand-dollar grill stand. (to camera) We design it around how you actually live. Click below and schedule your free estimate — takes thirty seconds.

“Built on the slab they already had.”

Script (VO over tour footage)

WES (VO): This family had a big concrete pad just… sitting there. So instead of demo, we built on it — a cedar pergola overhead, anchored straight into the slab they already paid for. (LOW ANGLE: up the posts to the beams · WIDE establishing) Under it: a galley kitchen with a stone top, and a bar ledge that overlooks the dining area — (walking glide along the bar ledge) — which flows straight back into the living space, in front of a cobblestone fireplace and hearth. (glide continues: dining → living → fireplace — one continuous move) One footprint. Three rooms. Zero wasted slab. (DUSK: string lights on under the pergola — hold) If you've got a slab out back collecting dust, this is what it could be. End-card VO: “Click below to schedule your free estimate.”
