By June, most landscape contractors aren’t looking for ideas, they are looking for solutions. Projects are underway, install schedules are tight, and material sourcing needs to be fast, reliable, and accurate. Even now, many buyers are still relying on outdated methods: email chains, texts, spreadsheet lists, and phone calls that go unanswered during peak hours.
Online nursery plant sales are quickly becoming a practical solution for contractors who need more speed and clarity in their sourcing process. As job demands grow and labor remains tight, contractors need to cut inefficiencies wherever they can and sourcing is one of the easiest places to start.
If you’re trying to track down material for mid-season installs or unexpected replacements, you’re not alone. According to IBISWorld, the U.S. nursery and garden stock wholesale industry is valued at over $21.8 billion but much of it still runs through manual processes. That’s starting to shift as more buyers look for tools that reflect how they actually work, on jobsites, not at desks. Most contractors don’t have time to sit in an office making five phone calls to track down plant availability. They need answers quickly, whether they’re finalizing a bid, filling gaps in an existing order, or coordinating delivery to align with a crew schedule.
More buyers are using tools that match how they actually work. Being able to search current availability, see pricing up front, and place an order without waiting for a callback helps save time during the busiest part of the season. This isn’t about changing your business model. It’s about reducing friction in the process so you can focus on running jobs, not chasing material.
It’s not about changing who you buy from. It’s about making those relationships more efficient, with fewer delays, clearer communication, and less back-and-forth when timing matters.
In June, every day counts. Waiting for quotes or availability responses slows everything down, from placing orders to finalizing job bids. You’re not just trying to find the right plant, you’re trying to find it in stock, at the right price, and with a delivery timeline that doesn’t disrupt your schedule.
During the busiest stretch of the season, contractors need a faster way to get material lined up and out the door. Instead of waiting on availability updates or juggling multiple websites, more buyers are turning to LandscapeHub to search, compare, and place orders—all in one place.
