In recent years, the landscape design and construction industry has experienced significant changes. Many of these changes have occurred due to new technological advancements and an increased focus on sustainability.

The industry has been pushed to move away from traditional paper plans and towards digitally rendered designs. This shift has opened opportunities for more detailed designs, faster response times, better customer services, and improved accuracy in drawings. Furthermore, many landscape contractors are now incorporating 3D rendering, GIS mapping, and GPS technology into their landscape services.

Sustainability is another area where changes have been taking place in the landscape contracting industry. Many clients prefer environmentally friendly materials, such as plants that require less water and recyclable materials. Landscape contractors have also used low-maintenance, indigenous plants, and green building techniques to reduce their carbon footprint.

Green technology, such as rainwater harvesting, reuse of greywater, and solar solutions, are also being employed to reduce energy costs and resource consumption. It is also becoming more common for landscape contractors to use native vegetation and plant species to improve soil health and protect ecosystems.

The landscape contracting industry has experienced drastic changes over the past few years. These changes have come about due to the increased use of digital designs, a focus on sustainability, and the implementation of green technology. Likely, these changes will only continue to grow in the future.
