145 Landscaping Industry Statistics November 2026

Landscaping industry statistics show a trade that is huge in total and tiny at the shop level. Most firms have fewer than five paid workers, work swings hard by season, and the money comes from homes, property managers and public land.

This page takes each number from the agency, regulator or company that produced it. Sources include the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the USDA, the Department of Labor, the EPA, the Energy Information Administration and the annual reports of public landscape companies. Every figure links to its source and carries a date. Market research roundups are not used.

It is written for owners of small field service shops and for anyone who needs a number they can cite. If you run a lawn, tree or hardscape crew, the sections on seasonal demand and rising costs matter most. If you run another home service trade, the same pattern shows up in your own year. For the wider market, see home service demand. For the largest trade on this site, see HVAC market data.

How big is the US landscaping market?

The market is large, but no one firm controls it. The money sits in a very large number of small crews, so the totals only make sense when you look at who is behind them.

How much do landscaping firms pay out in wages?

Wages are the biggest cost in the business, and two federal counts agree on the scale.

When is landscaping demand highest, and how big is the swing?

Landscaping is a spring-to-fall trade, and the swing is larger than most owners plan for. Payroll and equipment costs run all year, while the work does not.

Figure 4: Landscaping payrolls were about 30% larger in summer 2026 than in winter, which shows how much staffing and billing change within one year. Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Current Employment Statistics, Sep 2026. Chart drawn by us from the source data, captured 20 Oct 2026.

How concentrated is lawn and garden spending?

• It shipped 34.8% in the third quarter (Scotts Miracle-Gro 10-K, Nov 2025).

• Toro ships its residential lawn and garden products mainly between February and June (Toro 10-K, Dec 2025).

How do landscape firms and suppliers smooth out the year?

By selling services that do not stop in winter, such as snow removal, and by working in places where grass grows all year.

• SiteOne booked 31.1% of its 2025 net sales in the second quarter and 20.0% in the first (SiteOne 10-K, Feb 2026).
• The second quarter produced 54.7% of SiteOne’s adjusted EBITDA, against 5.4% in the first (SiteOne 10-K, Feb 2026).
• BrightView earned $210.8 million from snow removal in fiscal 2025, a winter offset to slower landscape work (BrightView 10-K, Nov 2025).
• BrightView says its highest employment comes in its third and fourth fiscal quarters, April through September (BrightView 10-K, Nov 2025).

A shop that bills by the visit earns little in winter and carries the same truck payments. Clear prices, recurring service plans and fast invoices are how small crews keep cash steady between seasons. For payment timing across small businesses, see late payment data.

How much do households and businesses spend on lawn and landscape work?

People spend on lawns in two ways: on products they use themselves and on services they hire. Both are modest per home and large in total.

Figure 5: A lawn care plan costs hundreds of dollars while design and hardscape jobs cost thousands, so one price list has to cover very different job sizes.

What does the average household spend on lawn and garden products?

Less than it spends on hired lawn care, and a large share of owners still do the work themselves.

• They spent $53.25 on lawn and garden equipment (BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, Aug 2026).

What do landscapers buy, and who sells it to them?

Landscape firms buy plants, stone, pipe, chemicals and machines, and the sellers publish more detail than most of the firms do.

How much lawn is there in the US?

More than most people guess, and it is a managed crop.

• NASA researchers estimated that lawns cover about 128,000 square kilometers in the US (NASA Earth Observatory, Nov 2005).
• That is roughly three times the acreage of irrigated corn (NASA Earth Observatory, Nov 2005).

Are new lots getting smaller?

Yes. New homes sit on less land, which shifts work from mowing large lawns to maintaining small, dense yards.

• Builders completed 1,005,000 single-family homes in 2025 (Census Bureau New Housing Characteristics, Jul 2026).
• 41% of those built for sale had a lot under 7,000 square feet (Census Bureau New Housing Characteristics, Jul 2026).

• 29.1 million people played on a golf course in 2025 (National Golf Foundation, Dec 2025).

What cost and labor pressures do landscaping shops face?

Fuel, labor and equipment costs are all moving. Shops that set prices once a year are exposed when costs jump mid-season.

How big is the seasonal visa pipeline?

Large landscape firms lean on the H-2B program for summer crews, and the program is capped.

• West Coast diesel averaged $7.394 (EIA Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update, Oct 2026).
• Midwest gasoline averaged $4.145, up $1.340 from a year earlier (EIA Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update, Oct 2026).

When fuel and labor jump, a price list set in spring stops covering the job by fall. Shops that keep one current price book and quote from it can reprice in an afternoon. For how service pricing works across trades, see pricing data.

How dangerous is the work?

Landscape work carries real risk, and tree work carries the most.

• 239 grounds maintenance workers died on the job in 2024 (BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, Feb 2026).
• The wider group of building and grounds cleaning and maintenance occupations lost 356 workers (BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, Feb 2026).

What is happening to labor costs?

Hourly pay for crew members is rising, and the largest commercial landscaper reports few union members.

• Average hourly earnings of production and nonsupervisory workers in landscaping services were $26.38 in January 2026 and $27.71 in August (BLS Current Employment Statistics, Sep 2026).
• About 5% of BrightView employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements (BrightView 10-K, Nov 2025).

Methodology and Sources

Each figure comes from the agency, regulator or company that produced it, and each link points to the report, data table or filing. No roundups, market research resellers or blog summaries are used. Federal data files were downloaded and read directly, and company figures come from annual reports filed with the SEC. Landscaping services means NAICS 561730 for employer data and NAICS 56173 for nonemployer data. Census firm counts by state count a firm in every state where it operates, so state numbers add to more than the national total. The 2025 Current Population Survey averages exclude October because of the federal government shutdown. OEWS counts wage and salary jobs only, so it is lower than the Occupational Outlook Handbook, which includes the self-employed. Figures marked preliminary may change. The page is reviewed and refreshed monthly.
