An Industry This Big Deserves Better Information
The U.S. landscaping services industry reached an estimated $188.8 billion in 2025, with more than 692,000 businesses and over 1.4 million workers, according to IBISWorld figures cited by the National Association of Landscape Professionals.
Yet many contractors, supply yards and manufacturers still piece together industry news from scattered magazines, supplier emails, social media and word of mouth. Landscape Industry News was built to bring it together in one place.
The Industry Is Changing Fast
The past year alone shows how quickly the business landscape is shifting:
Regulation: California adopted first-in-the-nation Zone 0 wildfire rules in August 2026, affecting roughly 2 million structures and changing what can be installed within five feet of homes. (Read our coverage: California’s Zone 0 and landscape design)
Labor: The H-2B visa cap for the first half of fiscal 2027 was reached before the fiscal year even began, leaving many seasonal employers scrambling for workers.
Technology: In Aspire’s 2027 Commercial Landscape Industry Report, nearly half of commercial operators said they already use AI in some form, and 79% named revenue growth as a top goal.
Developments like these affect pricing, staffing and product decisions. Knowing about them early is a competitive advantage.
