Designing Landscaping Uniforms for Your Team: What You Need to Know
Providing the right uniform for your landscaping team.

When it comes to running a professional landscaping crew, your first considerations are skill and safety. You've built a team that knows what they're doing and can do it safely. A big part of that is wearing the right landscaping uniforms for the job. Often, you can tell a practical and experienced crew when they're dressed for the weather and the work. Guys who know when to cap against the sun and when to wear denim against thorny shrubs are essential to quick and efficient landscaping work. For many landscapers, you wouldn't tell your crew what to wear unless there was a jacket or shoe that wasn't quite rated for the job.
On the other hand, there is a great deal of value in looking sharp as a unified team while - at the same time - providing the right variety of custom uniform pieces so each team is strategically attired for the work (and weather) at hand.
Landscaping Uniforms as Equipment for Your Crew
Most landscaping contractors keep a supply of safety equipment to be used on the job. Work gloves, face shields, and ear protection are all pretty typical parts of the gear you provide to keep your team safe and efficient. When considering landscaping uniforms for your team, the first consideration is always safety.
Uniform design gives you the opportunity to stock up on protective jackets, hats, and even breathable shirts. This is to make sure your team is always properly attired for the work they'll be doing and the weather they're working it. If a guy needs to cut back tree branches, you want them capped and jacketed. If a team member shows up in a new shirt that turns out to be non-breathable and stifling in the heat, you want to be able to hand them a breathable replacement for a quick swap and serious efficiency boost.
Landscaping Uniforms to Impress Customers
Landscaping customers also love to see a team in uniform, and not just for the nice cut of your jackets. A team that looks unified, sharing T-shirts, caps, and jackets with the company logo, looks more professional and organized. Both residential and commercial customers who hire a landscaping service typically expect to see an eclectic array of t-shirts and jeans; a look that can disguise the expert and coordinated movements of your team.
When they see a group of professionals dressed sharply in company colors moving in organized routines, their esteem for your team and company go up. You must be a high-end landscaper because you clearly have thought of every little detail.
The Right Fabrics for the Job
Searching for the best (and fastest!) way to order uniforms for your landscaping team? The answer is screen printing with the right fabric for the job and the print. Landscaping is hard work and the wrong approach can lead to quickly cracked and fading logos - not the impression you're looking to make. Screen printing lays the ink directly into the fibers providing a smoother and more durable print. Fabric selection also plays a major role in both on-the-job comfort and ink receptivity.
100% Cotton
- Knit and Waffle
- Sweatshirt Fleece
- Light and Heavy Denim
Cooling Synthetic Blends
- Tri-Blend
- 50/50 Blend
- Dry Fit Synthetic
Cotton and other natural fibers are great for both screen-printing receptivity and comfort during landscaping work. But if you prefer a poly-blend for better moisture and heat wicking on the job, tri-blends, 50/50 and dry-fit synthetics are also great choices and will show your logo bright and clear without cracking or fading.
Making the Uniform Switch Easy for Your Team
Once you have the right pieces for your landscaping uniforms, making the switch can be easy for your team. Two to four t-shirts are about right for most teams so there's always a fresh one in the morning. One or two caps and one jacket are just right to keep everyone equipped and ready for the day. Add a few spares in the truck or at HQ so you can equip new team members and anyone who forgot their jacket on a day for thorny or chilly work.
