Why is Demand for Landscaping Services Rising Rapidly?

“Growing Popularity of Xeriscaping”

Governments across the world have implemented strict regulations on the use of water and are promoting water conservation and sustainable landscaping practices. With the substantial need for water conservation worldwide, demand for sustainable innovations in landscaping services is rising.

• For instance, the United States Environment Protection Agency’s WaterSence program has been established to guide homeowners and businesses to raise water efficiency and choose water-efficient technologies.

Xeriscaping is one of the sustainable landscaping practices that reduces or eliminates the need for irrigation and is also ideal for both wetter locations and desert climates. Landscaping service providers do a soil analysis and design a suitable environment, choose appropriate plants, and go for a proper gardening process to develop xeriscaping. This practice results in the preservation of plant habitats and maintenance of natural resources, which is resulting in higher demand for professional landscaping service providers.

“Trend of Outdoor Living as a Lifestyle”

Post-COVID, the trend for outdoor living has grown drastically. The intemperate time spent at home during 2020-2021 by people has led to the improvement and enhancement of living spaces. People are opting for residences with greener and healthier environments, aiding the demand for outdoor living spaces and simultaneously driving the demand for landscaping services.

Landscaping and gardening services enable proper design & development, installation, and maintenance of outdoor living spaces such as lounge areas in the shade, outdoor kitchens, and many more.

• As per Freedonia Group National Online Consumer Survey, it has been observed that a broad range of consumers enjoys outdoor entertainment; the population aged 18-34 years holds the highest share of 65% to 70%.

With the growing popularity of outdoor living, the demand for aesthetics and goods appearing in landscapes is high, thereby fuelling the demand for landscaping services across the world.

Which Factors are impeding Landscaping Services Market Expansion?

“Recurring Nature of Business”

One of the major factors challenging the demand growth for landscaping services is the recurring nature of this business. Landscaping services have high demand in Western countries during the summer and spring seasons. Demand is less during the winter season due to shorter and wetter days and a lack of sunlight that hampers the growth of various kinds of plants.

This factor results in difficulty for companies to manage and maintain their staff as maintaining a full staff during the off-season affects profit margins, and similarly, the company will be required to fill in vacancies when the peak season arrives. These factors immensely impact the operational consistency of businesses and are hard for small- and mid-size organizations to sustain in the long run.

Additionally, lack of skilled labourers and lesser knowledge of gardening and landscaping strategies by many firms are expected to restrict market growth to some extent in the years ahead.
