Yellowstone Landscape ranks number five on two of the green industry's top company lists for 2026. Landscape Management's Top 150 and Lawn & Landscape's Top 100 both rank the nation's largest landscape companies.
It’s great for our company to be recognized because those rankings can always be traced back to real people who show up in big ways. Yellowstone Landscape has 7,295 of them who mow, prune, plant, and beautify properties. Managers also build client relationships and train our new hires. Leadership sets the direction and invests in the people doing a variety of work.
Together, these individuals work as a team to keep client properties looking sharp all year.
Here's a closer look at the employees who earned that top-five spot, from the field to the front office.
Snapshot of Landscape Company Rankings
Two major trade publications track the largest companies in the green industry each year.
Landscape Management's LM150 ranks the industry's top 150 revenue-generating firms. This magazine has covered the green industry since 1962.
Lawn & Landscape's Top 100 ranks the 100 largest lawn and landscape companies. Lawn & Landscape has served contractors since 1980 and reports on an industry that employs more than 1.4 million people.
Here's how Yellowstone Landscape stacked up.
- Number five on the LM150
- Number five on the Lawn & Landscape Top 100
- 14% growth from 2024 to 2025
- 7,295 team members
That 14% growth is more impressive having happened over a 12-month period made challenging by tariffs and economic uncertainty.
Together, the landscaping companies on the LM150 brought in $22.34 billion in 2025. The Top 100 topped $20 billion. These lists show who is growing and how fast.
And while those numbers can be seen as a “scoreboard,” the people inside Yellowstone Landscape are the ones who put points on the board. Each section below looks at a different part of that team.

Field Crews Do the Work Clients See
Maintenance is one of Yellowstone Landscape's largest service lines because it involves numerous services that are a must for comprehensive landscaping programs.
Crews are on client properties week in and week out for mowing, edging, pruning, maintaining flower beds, etc. They can spot irrigation leaks and storm damage before anyone else does. For most property managers, the crew is the dependable face of Yellowstone Landscape.
That’s because good maintenance never stops. A property that looks great in April still needs consistent care in May to avoid any falloff. Company culture works the same way, so our company keeps working on it season after season to support the people in the field.
Here's what that support involves:
- Safety Rodeos and Safety Tailgate Talks
- Personal protective equipment for every team member
- Help for H-2B team members with legal requirements
- H-2B incentives paid out each November
- Help keeping licenses up to date
Safety comes first because crews work around heavy equipment, traffic, and extreme weather. The H-2B program brings in experienced seasonal workers, many of whom return year after year. Yellowstone Landscape helps them handle the paperwork so they can focus on the job.
Those crews earned a big share of this year's top-five ranking, as each well-kept property contributed to company growth.
Yellowstone Landscape Managers Who Came Up Through the Ranks
Roughly 75% of Yellowstone Landscape's manager roles are filled from within. Many of today's branch and account managers started on a maintenance crew. They know the work and the details that matter because they've done it.
That real-world experience and understanding matter to clients. Branch and account managers are a big key to keeping client relationships strong. They're the first call when a property manager has a question, concern, or a new project on their mind. Clients get a manager who understands what crews are facing on properties with varying terrain, microclimates, and foot traffic.
“I started out as a service worker. I worked my way up to crew leader, superintendent, and eventually account manager.” ~Lynn Terry (West Atlanta branch, Yellowstone Landscape).
Their day-to-day job covers a lot of ground, such as:
- Hiring the right people
- Training new team members
- Keeping good crews together
- Planning schedules around client needs
- Checking quality on every property
Company growth can make that more difficult sometimes. A company that grows 14% in a year has to focus on hiring and training efficiently. Managers have to make sure new team members learn the right way to do each specialized job. That's how Yellowstone Landscape grows while keeping service top-notch.
Senior leadership plays a huge role too, with leaders setting the direction, investing in training, and backing the promote-from-within approach. They create the systems and paths that empower a crew member to become a branch manager.
Every promotion encourages the rest of the team and keeps good people around. That naturally helps keep our clients happy.
Specialists Who Raise the Bar
Commercial properties have a lot of moving parts. Trees, soil, irrigation, and seasonal color call for their own expertise.
Yellowstone Landscape keeps specialists on staff to handle certain services:
- Certified arborists
- Horticulturists
- Irrigation technicians
- Enhancement crews
- Interiorscape professionals
Yellowstone Landscape is one of the few landscape providers with full-time arborists on the payroll. That matters because trees are often the most valuable part of a commercial landscape. Arborists catch disease, storm risk, and structural problems early.
Horticulturists focus on plant health. They monitor soil conditions, treat plant diseases, and help design sustainable green spaces. Their work keeps turf, shrubs, and beds healthy longer.
Irrigation teams find leaks, adjust systems, and help clients cut down on water waste. Enhancement crews handle seasonal color, mulch, and upgrades that keep properties looking fresh.
Lawn & Landscape's Service Breakdown Shows the Payoff
Yellowstone Landscape ranks number one in Irrigation and Water Management revenue, while showing up among the leaders in several other service categories. That range comes from teams with deep skills in their fields.
For clients, it means one provider can cover more of their needs. Property managers don't have to juggle separate vendors for trees, irrigation, and seasonal color.
Specialists make the whole company better because crews and managers can lean on them for answers when needed.
A Company Culture That Keeps Good People
Landscaping is hard work, and turnover runs high across the green industry. So the best employees have plenty of options for employment. Yellowstone Landscape works to give them reasons to stay with us.
Recognition is a big part of that. Here are a few of the ways we show appreciation to our people:
- Employee of the Month awards
- Safety Awards
- Training and professional development
- Promotions from within
- Mentorship
“More than half of our company participates in community service efforts.” ~Yellowstone Landscape
Then there are the fun company gatherings. Cookouts and team lunches are a favorite. Yellowstone Landscape branches often fire up the grill for holidays, work anniversaries, and big wins.
Of course, those moments would be easy to skip during the hectic growing season. Skipping them, though, would be a shame because these small celebrations remind people their work matters.
Feedback flows both ways too, as our company leaders ask field teams what's working and what isn't. Team members trust that important issues will get attention. If a program is struggling, leaders ask why and work toward fixing it.
That open line of communication keeps small problems from expanding and keeps people engaged in the process.
Culture comes full circle as good team players stay longer. And experienced crews deliver better service, which keeps clients with us over the long haul and wins new clients. That growth creates more good-paying landscaping jobs and more chances to promote from within.
