The landscape pricing below is an estimate. All pricing is dependent on the size of your lot, the overall terrain and topography of your property, and the type of materials we use. If you hire us for year-round service for landscape maintenance and snow removal, the costs can be broken out into 12 monthly payments.
We offer three-year contracts on all our agreements, which means you receive a locked-in rate with set price adjustments. We believe that three-year contracts are beneficial to our clients because our crews will be familiar with your property since they will have serviced it for a longer period of time. Additionally, you won't have to deal with the hassle of signing a new contract every year.

Understanding Commercial Landscaping Costs in Pittsburgh
Commercial landscaping budgets aren’t one-size-fits-all. In the Pittsburgh market, pricing is driven less by appearances alone and more by labor, site conditions, service expectations, and long-term asset protection.
Our goal is to help property owners and managers understand where their investment goes, so there are no surprises.
What Drives the Cost of Commercial Landscaping
Labor & Skilled Crews (≈ 50%)
Labor is the single largest cost component of commercial landscaping. Skilled crews, experienced equipment operators, supervisors, and trained staff account for approximately half of a typical commercial landscaping budget. Competitive wages, training, and consistent staffing are essential for reliable service, quality control, and professional execution across commercial properties.
Equipment, Fuel & Maintenance (≈ 18%)
Professional landscaping requires professional equipment. This includes large-area mowers, slope equipment, trucks, trailers, seasonal equipment, fuel, preventative maintenance, and replacement cycles necessary to maintain sites efficiently and consistently.
Safety, Insurance & Operational Standards (≈ 4%)
Commercial landscaping programs include baseline safety practices embedded across field operations, insurance coverage, and operational standards that support responsible service delivery and protect people and property. These foundational requirements help ensure smooth daily operations across all commercial property types.
Materials & Seasonal Inputs (≈ 8%)
Mulch, fertilizers, turf products, seed, seasonal materials, and winter products vary by site and time of year. These inputs support plant health, appearance, drainage performance, and year-round site conditions.
Management, Planning & Quality Control (≈ 15%)
This portion of the budget supports account management, scheduling, inspections, communication, and proactive planning—along with essential back-office and administrative support such as billing, payroll, compliance tracking, customer service, and technology systems. Strong management and admin support improve responsiveness, reduce disruptions, and protect long-term property value.
Percentages shown represent typical ranges and may not total 100% due to rounding and property-specific variables.
Where Your Commercial Landscaping Dollars Go
Typical allocation for a professionally managed commercial landscaping program in the Pittsburgh region:
Lower-priced bids often reduce staffing consistency, equipment investment, or management and administrative support—leading to inconsistent results, reactive service, or deferred maintenance over time.
Why Budgeting Matters
Under-budgeted commercial landscaping programs often lead to:
- Weed pressure and invasive species overtaking turf and landscape beds
- Declining turf and plant health due to inconsistent care and missed seasonal timing
- Infrequent site visits, resulting in overgrowth and reactive service
- Unreliable contractors with high crew turnover or inconsistent staffing
- Higher risk of complaints from tenants, residents, or visitors
Well-structured commercial landscaping programs focus on consistent care, proactive maintenance, and reliable service delivery—protecting site appearance, performance, and long-term value.
Bottom Line
Commercial landscaping costs reflect the level of service, reliability, and planning your property requires. Growing Seasons Landscaping builds right-sized programs for Pittsburgh-area commercial properties that balance appearance, performance, and long-term value—without surprises.
