How this list is built
30 landscapers qualified for the The Villages ranking in October 2026, drawn from 96 Google Business Profiles pulled on October 2, 2026. Of the profiles we set aside, 27 listed another trade as their primary category, 13 had fewer than 5 reviews, 6 were national franchises or their local branches, 17 were suppliers, nurseries or equipment dealers rather than contractors and 3 sit outside the 20 km radius we use for The Villages.
Across the 30 that remained, the middle of the market sits at a 4.7 rating and 32 reviews, with 1 of those arriving in the last 90 days, and 44 photos on the profile. 63% link a website from their Google listing. Each of the 7 factors scored this month is normalized against the rest of the The Villages field, so a The Villages landscaper is measured against other The Villages landscapers and not against the state. The next re-rank runs on November 1, 2026.
