Commercial landscaping contractors are anticipating a stable, if not slightly improving, business environment in the coming year, according to the results of Aspire Software’s 2026 Commercial Landscape Industry Report.
Among the more than 1,000 respondents to the survey, 42 percent indicated they anticipated a stronger market outlook in 2026 than in 2025, while another 38 percent believed the 2026 market would be much the same as 2025.
When focusing on their individual businesses and plans for the new year, contractors said a focus on new projects (79 percent) and growing their client base (71 percent) would be their keys to growth. Adding new services to their menus, however, wasn’t high on that list; 70 percent said they would not be adding any services to their existing offerings in 2026.
As it relates to growing and retaining clients, survey respondents added that maintaining a stable workforce, predicting cost increases and limiting delays would be keys to finding success in that area.
Here are some additional key findings from the 2026 Commercial Landscape Industry Report, presented exclusively as a part of a partnership between Aspire and Landscape Management. You can read the full survey report by scanning the QR code that accompanies this story.
