How this list is built

We evaluated 25 landscapers serving Gainesville in November 2026, drawn from 63 Google Business Profiles pulled on November 1, 2026. The rest did not qualify: 7 listed another trade as their primary category, 16 had fewer than 5 reviews, 1 was a national franchise or a local branch of one, 10 were suppliers, nurseries or equipment dealers rather than contractors, 2 sit outside the 20 km radius we use for Gainesville and 2 were marked permanently closed on Google.

The median Gainesville landscaper in this field holds a 4.7 rating across 34 reviews and picked up 1 in the last 90 days. The median profile carries 35 photos, and 84% link a website from Google. Each of the 7 factors scored this month is normalized against the rest of the Gainesville field, so a Gainesville landscaper is measured against other Gainesville landscapers and not against the state. The next re-rank runs on December 1, 2026.
