Landscape supply supplier count measures the number of vendors supplying products into a landscape-distribution network.

SiteOne reported sourcing from approximately 6,000 suppliers at year-end 2025.

Supplier breadth supports assortment and availability

A large supplier base can help support a wide mix of irrigation, agronomic, hardscape, nursery, lighting, and accessory products.

It also underpins the SKU count available across the branch network.

Supplier count does not reveal bargaining power by itself

A network can have thousands of suppliers while still depending heavily on a smaller set of major manufacturers in certain categories.

Use supplier count with gross margin and product-category disclosures rather than treating vendor breadth as a direct purchasing-power score.
