Aug 13, 2025 - Green Industry Posts Steady Q2 Growth

• Providers of lawn care and landscaping – “Green” services – saw conditions improve in the second quarter of 2025 after a slow start to the spring season, according to the recently released Home Service Economic Report by Jobber, a job tracking and customer management software firm. Amid high interest rates and inflation, consumers are focusing on maintenance instead of taking on large projects. However, the green sector saw a 2.5% increase in new work bookings in Q2 compared to the same period in 2024. Green firms’ median revenue increased 5.8% in the second quarter over a year earlier, and average invoice size grew by 3.7% over the same period. Green firms should focus on client retention and upselling existing customers on preventative care services to maintain momentum into the slower third-quarter season. Landscaping services spending helps drive demand for lawn and garden equipment.
• US outdoor power equipment (OPE) dealers saw same-store sales rise 20% in July 2025 compared to the same month in 2024, according to Constellation Dealer Services. OPE dealers’ wholegoods department sales saw the most significant increase with a year-over-year rise of 23%. Dealers’ parts department sales grew 14% and service department sales saw 5% improvement. Regionally, OPE dealers in the South saw the biggest gains in May sales with a rise of 24% compared to a year earlier, followed by the Midwest and Northeast, which saw increases of 21% and 15%, respectively. Same-store OPE dealer sales in the West increased 2% in July 2025 over the same period in 2024.

• Sales of existing US homes decreased by 2.7% in June from May and were flat year-over-year, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said, "High mortgage rates are causing home sales to remain stuck at cyclical lows. If the average mortgage rates were to decline to 6%, our scenario analysis suggests an additional 160,000 renters becoming first-time homeowners and elevated sales activity from existing homeowners." Dr. Yun continued, "Expanding participation in the housing market will increase the mobility of the workforce and drive economic growth. If mortgage rates decrease in the second half of this year, expect home sales to increase across the country due to strong income growth, healthy inventory, and a record-high number of jobs." Existing home sales are a demand driver for lawn and garden equipment sales.
• At an industry event in April, landscaping professionals shared their real-world experiences using battery-powered lawn and garden equipment, according to OPE+. Adoption of battery-powered equipment among landscapers is low, about 5%, according to equipment manufacturer Kress. Penetration into the consumer market has been similarly weak. Key complaints include long charging times and weak power, which some manufacturers argue are issues the industry has largely solved. However, some landscape professionals said they were disappointed by the performance of some battery-powered products and expressed concerns about adequate charging infrastructure. Others reported that the reduced maintenance needs of battery-powered equipment led to less downtime per worker per day, which improved efficiency.
