Marketing for landscaping companies in California.

The market here

California is not an average market.

Mild on the coast and punishing inland. The Central Valley bakes through summer while coastal homes barely need heating at all. Wildfire smoke, drought rules and water restrictions shape a large share of the work.

Cooling demand inland from June, and fire related work from late summer into autumn.

What that means for landscaping companies

• Turf replacement and native planting
• Water efficient irrigation as the selling point

Where the demand sits

• Los Angeles
• San Diego
• San Jose
• San Francisco
• Sacramento

Heavily seasonal, with the enquiries that fill spring arriving in late winter. Design and build work carries a long consideration period and a large ticket, so the businesses that stay visible through the quiet months take the bookings when everyone else starts advertising.
