Recent Developments
Dec 15, 2025 - Green Industry Posts Steady Q3 Growth
- Providers of lawn care and landscaping – “Green” services – saw conditions improve in the third quarter of 2025 as warmer-than-usual weather kept crews busy in the fall, according to the recently released Home Service Economic Report by Jobber, a job tracking and customer management software firm. The green sector saw a 4% increase in new work bookings in Q3 compared to the same period in 2024. The median revenue of green firms increased 11% in the second quarter compared to the same period a year earlier, and the average invoice size grew by 6% over the same period. The off-season uptick in new work, along with higher invoices and revenue, suggests that green industry firms are bundling services to meet client needs and are enjoying more repeat business. Landscaping services spending helps drive demand for lawn and garden equipment.
- The National Association of Landscape Professionals states that the landscaping industry is facing severe labor shortages unless the immediate release of 64,716 supplemental H-2B visas authorized by law occurs. More than 2,200 small businesses have urged the Trump administration to act, noting that the program is vital for seasonal employers who cannot find enough qualified US workers. NALP CEO Britt Wood said that confidence in continued support enables landscape companies to invest in growth, purchase necessary equipment, and deliver reliable services. The group emphasized that the visas sustain businesses, protect American jobs, and keep services affordable. For landscaping firms, the program provides resilience against workforce shortages, enabling them to operate at full capacity and maintain quality standards critical to customers nationwide.
- The lawn and garden equipment manufacturing industry is expected to experience slow but positive sales growth in the coming years. The industry’s year-over-year sales rose 4% in 2024 after declining by 1.6% in 2023, according to Inforum and the Interindustry Economic Research Fund, Inc. Lawn and garden equipment manufacturer sales growth is projected to rise by 4.2% in 2025 and 2% in 2026, then see increasingly flatter annual growth of less than 1% through 2029, according to Inforum and the Interindustry Economic Research Fund, Inc.
- Battery-powered walk-behind electric mowers on the higher end of the pricing spectrum gained market share in the spring 2025 buying season, according to recent data from market research firm OpenBrand. In May 2025, battery-powered walk-behind mowers priced $501 and higher accounted for nearly a third of category sales compared to just over 25% the same month in 2024. Most of the increase came at the expense of battery-powered walk-behind mowers priced between $401-$500. OpenBrand suggested that the top pricing tier growth could mean consumers are trading up for more expensive equipment, or that retailers are increasing prices to reflect their higher costs. Battery-powered walk-behind mowers priced $350 or less have the largest share of the category with 39% of the market. Gasoline-powered mowers are still the largest walk-behind category by a significant margin.
