Landscaping YouTube is highly seasonal (March, August peaks). Lawn care videos have massive search volume ("how to fix patchy lawn", "vegetable garden for beginners"). Channels monetize: seasonal AdSense peaks, Scotts Miracle-Gro and fertilizer sponsorships ($800 $2K during peak), Amazon gardening affiliate (3-5%), and lead generation ($200 $500 annual value per client for licensed landscapers). This guide covers seasonal strategy, monetization peaks, and maximizing peak-season earnings.
