BrightView (NYSE:BV) expects its recurring land maintenance business to grow in fiscal 2027, even as a residential construction slowdown and project delays weigh on its development operations.

The landscaping company forecast total revenue of $2.535 billion to $2.720 billion for fiscal 2027 and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, of $335 million to $355 million. The outlook calls for land maintenance revenue growth of 3% to 4% and a roughly 10% decline in development revenue at the midpoint.

For fiscal 2026, total revenue rose 1.5% to $2.7 billion, while adjusted EBITDA fell to $329 million from $352 million a year earlier. Chief Financial Officer Brett Urban said non-routine items, fuel costs and planned investment in the sales force offset stronger-than-expected contributions from the land business.

Land maintenance revenue rose approximately 2% for the full year and 3.3% in the fourth quarter, its third consecutive quarter of growth. President and Chief Executive Officer Dale Asplund said the business had contracted in both fiscal 2024 and 2025.

Asplund attributed the improvement to better customer retention, lower employee turnover and investment in sales staff. The company reported six consecutive quarters of positive net new sales, a measure that helped expand its recurring contract book.

Customer retention reached approximately 84.5%, up 150 basis points from a year earlier, while frontline turnover improved by roughly 600 basis points. BrightView is working toward retention above 90% across its branches, Asplund said.
