Ninety three percent of respondents to the 2014 Green Industry Benchmark Report, conducted by HindSite Software, a provider of business management solutions for the irrigation and lawn care industries among others, predicted that their company's revenue will grow in 2014.

Various indications, including ASLA's 2014 Residential Landscape Architecture Trends Survey, and the 2014 Green Industry Benchmark Report predict a bright season.

However, one area of volatility is the long-term weather forecast for June and early July by the Farmers Almanac for some parts of the nation, including:

North Central - A chilly and dry start to June, then rainy, then hot and dry, followed by the threat of severe thunderstorms and cool temperatures before ending hot and humid giving way to a fairer start to July.

Southwest - A hot and dry June but a hot and wet start to July.

Northeast – Showers and thunderstorms in the beginning of June, then cooler, then more rain and again cool, followed by clearing but still cool giving way to increasing heat and humidity and more thunderstorms before becoming cool and dry again, then ending the month with more thunderstorms, heat and humidity, and a tropical storm threat along the Mid-Atlantic coast. July is predicted to start off as unstable as June.
