Market Research & Industry Overview

The U.S. landscaping services industry was valued at over $176 billion in 2023, with rural markets seeing an uptick in demand for professional, reliable, and sustainable services. In Nebraska, many residents of smaller communities like Clearwater must currently drive 100+ miles to access specialty services such as tree health diagnostics, eco-friendly fertilization, and ornamental pruning.
A market scan of Antelope County reveals:
  • Population Base: Approximately 6,200 (county-wide)
  • Average Home Value: ~$160,000, with increasing investment in outdoor improvements
  • Current Providers: Fewer than three licensed tree care companies within 30 miles
  • Unmet Needs: High demand for stump grinding, tree health monitoring, and landscaping upgrades
By addressing these gaps, Tree Daddy aims to become a go-to rural provider for services that traditionally require a trip to Lincoln or Omaha.
