Dec 17, 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 US landscaping industry is expected to experience steady but mostly flat sales growth in the coming years. The industry’s year-over-year sales rose 4.1% in 2024 after increasing by 4.7% in 2023, according to Inforum and the Interindustry Economic Research Fund, Inc. Landscaping sales growth is projected to rise by 5.6% in 2025 and 5.2% in 2026, then see average annual growth of 5.4% through 2029, according to Inforum and the Interindustry Economic Research Fund, Inc.
• Turf Magazine recently spoke with several manufacturers of commercial landscaping equipment to learn about the top trends in the industry in 2026. Designing equipment to be easier to service in the field reduces equipment and labor downtime. New features include tool-less air filter changing, transparent fuel tanks, and QR codes on equipment that link to service guides. As battery-powered equipment continues to gain ground, manufacturers are introducing batteries that are interchangeable across equipment categories and trailer-mounted charging hubs that can operate both in the field and during overnight charging. Equipment makers are also introducing more autonomous robotic mowers that enable larger jobs and overnight mowing.
