If you’re not making solid money every spring, you’re doing it wrong. Spring is when landscaping customers open their wallets—but only if you offer the right services.
Here’s what’s making landscapers the most profit right now:
1. Mulch Installation
Fast, simple, and extremely profitable. Most homeowners won’t DIY this. Charge per yard, factor in delivery, and upsell edging.
2. Spring Cleanups
Basic cleanup services (leaves, sticks, trimming) are low effort and high return. Price it as a package and include extras like gutter clearing or weed pulling for more $$.
3. Fertilization & Weed Control
Repeat visits. Recurring income. Homeowners pay for results, not your time. This one’s a no-brainer.
4. Aeration & Overseeding
Charge premium rates. Easy to upsell with fertilizing. Pair it with spring cleanup or dethatching for bigger jobs.
What Homeowners Will Pay Extra For:
- Edging and bed maintenance
- Power raking
- Seasonal planting (flowers = emotion = impulse purchases)
- Pressure washing driveways or patios
Bundling = Bigger Paydays
Here’s the play:
Spring Cleanup + Mulch + Fertilization = $800+ jobs.
Sell it as a seasonal refresh package. Homeowners want “done for you.” Give it to them and price it accordingly.
Easiest Upsells That Print Money:
- Gutter cleaning
- Shrub trimming
- Pathway pressure washing
- Flower bed re-edging
- Landscape lighting checks
Bottom line: Spring isn’t about working harder. It’s about packaging, pricing, and positioning. Sell smart, not sweaty.
