Wholesale Landscape Products Business Plan


Wholesale Landscape Products Business Plan


The market place for nursery products, and services is changing in both scope and form. The consumer is now more upscale and the market continues to expand.

The number of households in the United States has increased by 10 percent over the past seven years to 140.9million. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAHB), there will be 903,000 new home constructions this year and more than 4.5million sales of existing houses.

These facts alone show a future for forest byproducts. They do not speak for themselves. A significant population shift has taken place. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, baby boomers are now the dominant group in the housing market. The 45- to 56 year old bracket will grow by 54 percent over the next four years. Recent research has shown that 45- to 60-year-old customers have emerged as the primary buyers in the nursery industry, accounting for half of all retail nursery sales.

Last year, a quarter of U.S. households spent an average of $500 each for landscaping (installing plant material in original or renovated landscapes). This resulted in retailers making more than $5 billion.
