Navigate to the new site’s grandparent directory, ex:
$ cd ~/Sites/drupal

Download the site files to the new site dir with Composer:
$ composer create-project drupal/recommended-project [site_name]

# assume site name ‘[site_name]’ for this example.

$ cd [site_name]

Initialize Lando
$ vim .lando.yml

[start config to copy & insert]
name: [site_name]
recipe: drupal8
config:
  webroot: web
  php: '7.2'
  # via: apache:2.4
  via: nginx
  database: mysql:5.7
  drush: ^8
  xdebug: false
  config:
    php: '.lando/php.ini'
services:
  appserver:
    build:

[end config to copy & insert]

Your app has started up correctly.
Here are some vitals:

 NAME                  sitename
 LOCATION              /Users/home/Sites/drupal/[site_name]
 SERVICES              appserver_nginx, appserver, database
 APPSERVER_NGINX URLS  https://localhost:32878
                       http://localhost:32879
                       http://[site_name].lndo.site:8000
                       https://[site_name].lndo.site

Set up the site in a browser (drush site:install doesn’t work out of the box with Lando, prolly because of the non-standard default database credentials/config/whatever).
