UNSPSC 70111703: Garden planting or maintenance services

UNSPSC 70111703 Garden planting or maintenance services is a Commodity code capturing the full range of routine grounds care, tree and shrub installation, turf management, and seasonal beautification work that state and local governments procure across parks, facilities, rights-of-way, and municipal properties. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for fertilizer and application (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, multiple IFBs), comprehensive landscape and grounds maintenance across municipal parks and school campuses (City of Milton, City of Fitchburg, City of Jackson Parks & Recreation, Tempe Elementary School District), median and alleyway maintenance on fixed cycles with strict mowing-height specifications (Walton County Florida, City of Fort Worth, City of Fitchburg), tree supply and planting (City of Norwalk Connecticut, City of Jackson Michigan), and specialized services such as irrigation repair, stormwater management plantings, and on-call tree trimming (Lee County Port Authority, City of Atlanta Department of Parks & Recreation, City of Missouri City). Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), cities ranging from mid-size to major metros (Atlanta, Fort Worth, Jackson, Santa Cruz, Sandy Springs), counties (Walton, Seminole, Marion, Fayette), independent school districts (Tempe Elementary School District #3), specialized authorities (Lee County Port Authority, University of Texas at Dallas), and special districts (public improvement districts).
