Under NAICS code 561730, Landscaping Services encompass a broad range of professional landscape maintenance and management activities. These services include mowing, trimming, edging, pruning, fertilizing, pest control, tree and shrub maintenance, irrigation system management, and specialized environmental care for various outdoor spaces. Contractors provide comprehensive groundskeeping solutions for public and private properties, ranging from government facilities and national cemeteries to recreational areas and commercial campuses.
The federal contract awards demonstrate significant activity in landscaping services, with contracts primarily issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Cemetery Administration, Department of Defense, and various federal land management agencies. Most awards range from $5,000 to $500,000, with contract periods typically spanning six months to five years. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) and small businesses frequently receive these awards, often through set-aside programs.

Recurring maintenance tasks such as grounds maintenance, snow removal, tree removal, and herbicide application are prevalent contract types.
