RR Landscaping & Tree Services runs 21 service lines across 11 towns in greater Syracuse, New York, rebuilt from a bloated Astra and Elementor stack into a hand coded theme, with a media library cut 87 percent and three genuinely tricky mobile bugs chased down on the client's own phone until each one was actually gone.
RR Landscaping & Tree Services is a real, established business, 5.0 stars across 21 Google reviews, genuine Yelp and Nextdoor listings, and 21 service lines across 11 towns in greater Syracuse, but its site and Google Business Profile had not caught up to that reputation. The site ran on WordPress with the Astra theme, Elementor, and three overlapping page builder add ons loading 35 separate render blocking CSS files and 26 JS files on every page, none of its 40 pages had a focus keyword or written meta description, and the owner's personal Gmail address was publicly exposed through the WordPress REST API. Calibre Associates rebuilt the site from the ground up on a hand coded theme with zero page builder dependency, fixed the trust signal mismatches underneath it, and chased down three mobile bugs that only showed up on a real phone until each one was confirmed gone on the client's own device.

- Replace a bloated page builder stack with a hand coded theme
- Fix the trust signal mismatches undermining an otherwise strong reputation
- Give every page real, unique SEO metadata instead of none
- Cut the media library down without touching visual quality
- Chase every mobile bug to a real fix, verified on the client's own phone
RR Landscaping's Google Business Profile had already been suspended once, and its listed phone number did not match the number on the website, Yelp, or Nextdoor, a quiet but real red flag on a profile with that history. Underneath that, the site itself ran on Astra, Elementor, and three overlapping page builder add ons loading 35 CSS files and 26 JS files on every page, none of its 40 pages carried a focus keyword or written meta description, every location page reused the same seven stock photos with alt text hardcoded to the wrong city, and the owner's personal Gmail address was sitting publicly exposed through the WordPress REST API and an author archive page.
We ran four workstreams in parallel rather than in sequence: replace the page builder stack with a theme built for this business specifically, correct the trust signal mismatches across the site and every listing, give every page real SEO metadata, and test everything on real phones rather than trusting how it looked in desktop Chrome.
Calibre Associates replaced the Astra and Elementor stack with a hand coded theme carrying zero page builder dependency, including a connection aware hero video that serves SD, MD, or HD quality based on real measured network speed, plus native scroll reveal and sticky navigation built without an animation library. The Google Business Profile phone number was corrected to match the site, Yelp, and Nextdoor, HomeAndConstructionBusiness and Organization schema was rebuilt alongside a hand built FAQPage schema, and the service area was synced from 6 to all 11 towns with the services list expanded from 6 to 18 categories. Real device testing on an iPhone surfaced three bugs invisible on desktop: the page detaching from the layout on a downward swipe, traced after several rounds to iOS Safari's native pull to refresh bounce living outside CSS's reach and fixed by locking html and body in place with scrolling moved into a dedicated inner container, a hero video that took 7 seconds to appear because the script waited for the full page load event and was also serving a 24.6MB HD file to most ordinary 4G connections, fixed by fetching immediately and tightening the HD threshold so a 15.8MB file became the common case, and a header logo quietly rendering as a blank box, traced past a red herring setting to the actual low quality placeholder feature responsible and fixed for both the logo and the ticker icon it was also affecting.

Business Impact
The rebuild replaces a bloated, mismatched web presence with a hand coded site that finally matches RR Landscaping's real reputation, a corrected Google Business Profile, a media library cut by 87 percent, and three mobile bugs that would have quietly cost leads on the exact device most homeowners actually use to call a contractor. The rebuild is too recent to carry ranking data yet, so this reflects verified technical and performance results rather than traffic claims.
