We are the largest and only national full product line wholesale distributor of landscape supplies in the United States and have an established presence in Canada. Our customers are primarily residential and commercial landscape professionals who specialize in the design, installation, and maintenance of lawns, gardens, golf courses, and other outdoor spaces. As of December 28, 2025, we had over 670 branch locations in 45 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces. Through our expansive North American network, we offer a comprehensive selection of approximately 180,000 stock keeping units ("SKUs") including hardscapes (such as pavers, natural stone, and blocks), irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products (e.g., herbicides), landscape accessories, nursery goods, outdoor lighting, and ice melt products. We also provide value-added consultative services to complement our product offerings and to help our customers operate and grow their businesses. Our consultative services include assistance with irrigation project take-offs, commercial project planning, generation of sales leads, business operations, and product support services, as well as a series of technical and business management seminars that we call SiteOne University.
Our typical customer is a private landscape contractor that operates in a single market. We interact regularly with our customers because of the recurring nature of landscape services and because most contractors buy products on an as-needed basis. We believe our high-touch customer service model strengthens relationships, builds loyalty, and drives repeat business. In addition, our broad product portfolio, convenient branch locations, and nationwide fleet of over 2,600 delivery vehicles position us well to meet the needs of our customers and ensure timely delivery of products. We source our products from approximately 6,000 suppliers, including the major irrigation equipment manufacturers, turf and ornamental fertilizer and chemical companies, and a variety of suppliers who specialize in nursery goods, outdoor lighting, hardscapes, and other landscape products.
We have a balanced mix of sales across product categories, construction sectors, and end markets. Approximately 60% of our 2025 Fiscal Year Net sales were derived from the residential construction sector, 32% from the commercial construction (including institutional) sector, and 8% from the recreational and other construction sector. By end market, we derived approximately 36% of our 2025 Fiscal Year Net sales from the sale of products relating to maintenance of existing residential, commercial, and recreational properties. The recurring nature of landscape maintenance demand helps to provide stability in our financial performance across economic cycles. The sale of products relating to new construction of homes, commercial buildings and facilities, and recreational spaces accounted for approximately 34% of our 2025 Fiscal Year Net sales. Approximately 30% of our 2025 Fiscal Year Net sales were derived from sales of products for the repair and upgrade of existing landscapes. These sales benefit from increases in existing home sales and rising consumer spending.
