Landscaping

Financial infrastructure for landscaping companies that are built to grow

Seasonal revenue, crew labor management, equipment costs, and the constant push-pull between maintenance contracts and project work — landscaping finances require a partner who understands the rhythm of your business.

The financial challenges landscaping companies face

Extreme seasonality

In most markets, 70-80% of revenue hits in 6-7 months. Without proper cash reserves and forecasting, the off-season can be devastating — even for profitable companies.

Recurring vs. project revenue

Maintenance contracts provide stability while design/build projects drive growth. But they have completely different margin profiles and cash flow patterns.

Crew labor and payroll complexity

Seasonal hiring, H-2B workers, overtime management, and tracking labor costs per crew and per property makes payroll one of your biggest financial challenges.

Equipment investment and maintenance

Mowers, trucks, trailers, and specialized equipment represent major capital investment. Knowing when to repair vs. replace — and how to finance it — requires real financial data.
