Landscaping is seasonal by nature — spring and summer are chaos, winter is a cash crunch. Between mower fleets, crew payroll, and the gap between bid and payment — landscapers need capital that understands the cycle.
This Is Why You're Here
Spring hit and you booked $200K in landscaping contracts. But you need $40K in plants, soil, and hardscape materials before the first job starts. Your nursery supplier wants prepayment.
Your 72-inch zero-turn blew a hydro pump. Repair is $6K, replacement is $18K. You have 14 mowing accounts this week and every day without that mower costs $800.
You want to add hardscaping to your services — pavers, retaining walls, fire pits. Equipment and materials to launch cost $35K. The revenue potential is $15K/month but you need to invest first.
A HOA offered you a $110K annual maintenance contract — mowing, trimming, irrigation. You need a second crew truck, trailer, and mower set for $28K to service the property. The HOA pays monthly in arrears.
It's November and you've got 6 guys counting on paychecks through February. Revenue drops 60% but truck payments, insurance, and payroll cost $18K/month. Your bank won't extend your line because winter deposits look thin.
Used $35K to add hardscaping services — pavers, retaining walls, fire pits. Paid it back in 4 months from the new revenue. Best decision I made all year.

Built for Your Business
You do 80% of revenue April through October but your 6-man crew expects checks year-round. A $40K line of credit drawn in November and repaid by May costs about $2K in interest. That's cheaper than rehiring in spring.
A 72-inch zero-turn is $18K and every day without it costs $800 in lost mowing accounts. We finance mowers, skid steers, and trailers with the equipment as collateral — no cash out of pocket.
Adding pavers, retaining walls, and fire pits means $35K in saws, compactors, and initial materials. The revenue potential is $15K/month but you need to invest first. We fund the startup cost.
You booked $200K in spring contracts but nursery stock, soil, and sod cost $40K before the first job starts. Your nursery wants prepayment. We bridge the gap between your order and your first invoice.

Look — landscaping is the most seasonal business in construction. You're slammed from April to October and then December hits and your bank account looks like a parking lot. But your 6 guys still need paychecks, your truck payments don't stop, and your insurance is due in January. I talk to landscapers every winter who are 30 days from laying off their whole crew. A $40K line of credit opened in August fixes that.
We fund landscapers — mowing operations, hardscape crews, irrigation companies, full-service landscape contractors — in as little as 24 hours. One application. 70+ lenders. No hard credit pull. I've funded $18K zero-turn replacements, $35K hardscape launch packages, $40K spring material orders, and $75K winter bridge lines. Your recurring maintenance contracts are real revenue — our lenders get that even when your January deposits look thin.
