Challenges Landscaping businesses face

We understand the unique marketing challenges in your industry.

Extreme Seasonality

Most markets see 70-80% of revenue in 5-6 months, creating cash flow challenges.

Labor Availability Crisis

Chronic labor shortages with H-2B visa caps limiting seasonal worker access.

Maintenance vs. Design/Build Split

Maintenance provides recurring revenue but lower margins; design/build offers higher profit but inconsistent volume.

Price Competition from Solo Operators

Low barriers mean homeowners can always find cheaper "guy with a truck" options.

Weather Dependency

Rain, drought, and extreme temperatures affect ability to work and customer demand.

Scope Creep on Projects

Design/build projects frequently exceed original scope, creating disputes.
