Landscaping Services in Canada - Industry Market Research Report

Hedging bets: Landscapers will benefit from a strong macroeconomic environment

Economic volatility has dominated the landscape in recent years, but landscapers have been immune to that, experiencing strong growth. The COVID-19 pandemic severely cut into revenue for large swaths of the economy and many service industries suffered. Landscapers benefited from a lack of consumer spending and travel; Canadians with stimulus cheques invested that money in their home, often using landscapers to renovate the outside of their houses. Revenue has expanded at a CAGR of 6.6% to $18.4 billion through the end of 2023, including a 4.9% increase in 2023 alone due to a 26.7% jump in fertilizer prices. Landscapers were able to pass this price increase on to their customers, preserving profit, which has remained steady.
