2027 Commercial Landscape Industry Report

The commercial landscape industry is more confident about its future than its day-to-day operations show, according to the 2027 Commercial Landscape Industry Report from Aspire Software.
Growth, new technology, and AI are all top of mind for 2027, but for a lot of operators, the systems, staff, and processes to back that ambition haven’t caught up yet.
Some insights from the report include:
- 48% of operators use AI in some form, but only 15% use it every day.
- Material costs have nearly caught up to labor as operators’ biggest worry for 2027.
- Why fast invoicing isn’t translating into fast payment for six in 10 operators.
- The six-tool problem: Why most tech stacks still don’t talk to each other.
- What separates companies growing profitably from companies just growing bigger
The 2027 Commercial Landscape Industry Report is based on an in-depth survey of more than 1,000 commercial landscaping professionals across the U.S.
The survey was conducted on behalf of Aspire by Thrive Analytics, an independent research firm specializing in digital marketing and industry trends.
