Why Most Landscape Companies Struggle to Break Through $5M+ — And How Elite Brands Break Through

The $5M+ growth plateau is not random.

Across the landscape industry, it appears with near consistency. Companies push past early traction, reach the $5M range, and then growth slows, margins tighten, and leadership teams feel like they are pushing harder for smaller gains.

This does not happen because quality drops. It does not happen because demand disappears. And it rarely happens because leadership lacks ambition.
