Busy Does Not Mean Profitable
We just wrapped up our latest research involving over 1,000 landscape professionals and released our 2026 Landscape Technology Trends Report.
Here are the 5 biggest takeaways you need to know:
-
Busy ≠ Profitable: 59% of firms are growing revenue, but only 47% are prioritizing margins. Don't let growth hide inefficiency.
-
The Single Source of Truth Wins: Using 7+ different apps? You're likely losing 10-20 hours of admin time per week compared to integrated teams.
-
Labor as a Force Multiplier: Top performers are using tech to save nearly half an employee's worth of time through automated routing and scheduling.
-
Real-Time over Post-Mortem: Successful contractors are reviewing job costs before the invoice goes out, not weeks later.
-
The Margin Divide: There is a direct correlation between modern software and double-digit margins.
What’s your #1 goal for the rest of the year? Is it more crews or better margins?
