Grass Keeps Growing, and So Do We
Covid, inflation, and the water crisis are affecting businesses in all sectors of the economy, and all households as well. But the landscape industry has seemed to dodge these bullets better than most.
Yes, Covid placed burdensome and expensive regulations and brought nightmare staffing problems to our businesses. But the landscape industry was deemed “necessary,” and our businesses were able to continue operating, while other industries tanked. Something else happened during the worst of the Covid scare…grass kept growing providing continued business for stores like ours, plenty of work for contractors and gardeners, and uninterrupted landscape maintenance for homeowners and businesses.
Then we had the overly restrictive water regulations mandated by the state. They are a big pain, but nothing that cannot be overcome by creative entrepreneurs. Many landscape contractors have used the restrictions as an opportunity to sell water conservation solutions to their customers – water-stingy sprinklers and timers, drip irrigation, California native or low water use plants, and more. Grass keeps growing through all this also…as does our customer base.
Now, with inflation and gas prices at all-time highs, this has affected everyone’s buying power. Landscape Warehouse has set certain policies and procedures in place, such as strategic purchasing and common-sense delivery practices, to help overcome this as well. Because we know grass keeps growing and doesn’t care about inflation.
All this to say, that the landscape business – and those that supply it – have proven that it can survive some of the worst of times because there will always be a need for it. Not only do the grass, trees, and everything else keep growing, but so does our need for cleaner air, beautiful outdoor living spaces, and award-winning landscapes.
