Aspire Software, a ServiceTitan company offering business management software for landscape maintenance and construction, has released its 2027 Commercial Landscape Industry Report, based on a survey of more than 1,000 commercial landscape business owners, executives and senior decision-makers across the US.

The findings show that 79% of contractors are prioritising revenue growth in 2027, while businesses explore how technology, operational efficiency and new approaches to managing costs can support sustainable growth.

“Commercial landscapers are focused on growth, but sustainable growth requires more than simply adding customers or crews,” says Eli Zevin, general manager of landscaping at ServiceTitan. “As businesses become more complex, having the right processes and visibility across operations becomes increasingly important. Contractors that can connect their teams, technology and data will be better positioned to turn growth opportunities into stronger, more resilient businesses.”

The report highlights how businesses are adapting their operations as they plan for growth. Contractors are changing how they purchase materials, continuing to invest in their workforce and increasingly looking to technology and AI to improve efficiency.

Key findings include that technology adoption is creating opportunities for more connected operations, with workflow automation and integrated systems emerging as priorities. Nearly half of operators already use AI in some form, while more than half plan to increase their AI budgets. Rising material and equipment costs are pushing businesses to purchase directly from suppliers, and a majority plan to raise crew pay this year as attracting and retaining skilled workers remains a priority.
