Landscaping Services in the US Industry Data and Analysis
The Landscaping Services industry’s dependence on the health of property markets has propelled it to expansion as the domestic housing market has grown. A healthier housing market has encouraged current homeowners to invest in their properties to boost their value amid growing disposable income. Low interest rates through 2022 created a boom in the housing market, while rising per capita disposable income levels sustained residential spending even as interest rates rose in an effort to curb inflation, slowing housing markets. Concurrently, landscapers have weathered unpredictability through their reliance on stable institutional clients, and a resurgence in spending from commercial clients like hotels and resorts because they generate higher revenue per service. Overall, revenue has rallied at a CAGR of 6.5% to $188.8 billion through 2025, with growth of 5.8% forecast in 2025 alone. At the same time, landscapers’ profitability has proved resilient to the rising cost of chemicals essential to services, averaging 13.0% in 2025.The onset of climate change, with higher temperatures and erratic rainfall, is stressing landscapes, requiring more resilient plant choices and irrigation solutions. This shift has driven companies to adopt more sustainable practices. A key approach has involved using native and drought-resistant plants, like succulents and xerophytes, which thrive with minimal water and suit areas with limited water resources. Landscapers are also using innovative irrigation techniques, including drip systems and smart controllers, to enhance water efficiency by responding to weather conditions. Additionally, the industry is increasingly turning to sustainable hardscaping materials like recycled concrete, reclaimed wood, and permeable pavers to reduce environmental impact. As warming temperatures intensify in the coming years, landscaping will have to adapt to the evolving demands of these challenges.The residential market will be key to growth as interest rates are expected to ease as inflation tempers, while rising per capita disposable income will increase households' ability to spend on discretionary landscaping services. Landscapers will cater to the growing number of elderly Americans choosing to live in their homes as they age, focusing on tailored services that emphasize dependability. Concurrently, non-residential construction activity will climb steadily in the coming years, making this market a point of emphasis for landscapers. The industry's revenue is forecast to climb at a CAGR of 2.5% to $213.3 billion over the five years to 2030.
