Most Common Services Landscaping Companies Offer (According to the Pros)

When you’re running a landscaping company, it helps to know what your peers are doing. Which services are most common? Where are companies expanding to stay competitive? To get the answers, we went directly to the professionals. A survey of landscaping and lawn care contractors across North America asked one simple question: What services do you offer?

The results give a clear picture of where the industry is today and where it’s heading.

Top Services Landscaping Companies Provide

Almost every company provides core lawn care and maintenance. But there’s more to it than just mowing grass. These bread-and-butter services bring in recurring revenue and keep crews busy week after week, but they also create the foundation for upselling into bigger jobs. 

If you can lock down the basics, you open the door to offering design work, tree services, irrigation, or even seasonal add-ons.

Here’s how contractors across North America responded:

What the Numbers Tell Us

From there, we see a clear split: some companies expand into project-based work like design and construction, while others add seasonal or specialty services like snow removal or holiday lighting. The diversity of offerings highlights one important truth: the most successful landscaping businesses balance predictable income with higher-margin projects and niche add-ons.

🌱 Lawn Care and Maintenance (88% and 87%)
These two categories dominate the industry. For many companies, recurring lawn care contracts provide the foundation of steady revenue.

🏗️ Design and Construction (71%)
More than two-thirds of contractors offer design/build services. This shows how many businesses are diversifying beyond maintenance into high-value projects.

🌳💧 Tree Work and Irrigation (63% and 47%)
Contractors who add tree care and irrigation can capture larger jobs and long-term service contracts, making these key areas for growth.

❄️ Snow and Ice Management (40%)
In colder regions, this is a lifeline that keeps cash flowing during the off-season. Nearly half of the companies surveyed include it.

Services That Differentiate

Not every contractor offers these services, but niche offerings can be the difference between blending in and standing out. They may not make up the bulk of revenue, but they can position your company as the go-to choice in your market.

• Holiday Lighting (15%) – Seasonal but profitable; homeowners pay for convenience and safety, and it keeps your crews working in the off-season.

• Mosquito and Pest Control (14–15%) – Demand is growing quickly, especially in warmer regions where customers want a one-stop outdoor solution.

• Sport Turf and Interiorscaping (under 10%) – Niche, but high-value for the right clients—schools, athletic facilities, or commercial spaces.

While these categories represent a smaller share of the industry, they’re often the services customers remember most. Adding even one niche option can create a new revenue stream, build customer loyalty, and separate your business from competitors who only focus on the basics.

Why This Data Matters for Your Business

Knowing what other professionals offer helps you benchmark your own services. If you only focus on mowing, you may miss out on higher-margin opportunities like design, tree care, or irrigation. On the flip side, offering too many niche services can spread resources thin and complicate scheduling.

The takeaway? Most successful landscaping companies balance:

• Recurring revenue services (like lawn care and maintenance) to create a predictable cash flow.

• Higher-value projects (like design/build or irrigation) to boost profitability.

• Seasonal add-ons (like snow removal or lighting) to keep crews working year-round.

Strategically combining these three categories not only stabilizes revenue but also makes your business more resilient against seasonal slowdowns or shifts in demand.

Final Thoughts

This survey shows that landscaping companies are more versatile than ever. From lawn care to construction to snow removal, professionals are expanding services to keep crews busy year-round.

If you’re thinking about adding new services, this data gives you a roadmap of what your peers are doing and where you might have a chance to stand out. If you need more customers to expand your business, consider using GreenPal, let people in the neighborhoods you service find you.
