US Landscaping Market Analysis
The US landscaping market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period.
The United States has the world’s largest landscape industry. Florida, California, and New York are the states with the most landscaping businesses in the country. There are over 600 thousand landscaping businesses in North America, with the majority being in the United States. Further, the rapidly expanding commercial and residential construction sectors in the country, owing to the rising population, are likely to boost the demand for these services in the United States during the forecast period.
A significant shift that models the current landscaping industry is the growing demand for residential outdoor landscaping from younger households across the country following the industry dip after the economic recession. The growing demand for gardens in residential constructions primarily contributes to the expansion and growth of the landscape market.
Furthermore, younger households in the United States are increasingly inclined towards gardening and lawn care activities under landscape maintenance. According to the 2021 Garden Media Garden Trends Report, American adults spend USD 47.8 billion on lawn and gardening equipment each year. Thus, the rising health consciousness of millennial consumers is leading to the need for self-sufficiency in food and vegetable gardening in their yards and compounds, consequently resulting in a paradigm shift in the US landscaping industry after the economic recession.
However, the market faces some challenges, such as the seasonal nature of the shortage of quality labor, high competition, and fluctuations in fuel prices.

According to Garden Media's 2021 Garden Trends Report (GTR), 16 million Americans took up gardening, and many more were spending up to two hours more per day gardening during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Outdoor residential environments are extremely important to homeowners, who view their yards as serving multiple functions, like a place to observe nature and socialize and a place of beauty and recreation. According to the GTR 2021 report, 82% of American homeowners are more interested in updating their outdoor living spaces than before the pandemic.
