NAICS 561730 – Landscaping Services encompasses the design, installation, maintenance, and management of outdoor environments including lawns, gardens, trees, shrubs, irrigation systems, hardscapes, and stormwater management features. This sector supports federal facilities by ensuring compliance with environmental standards, enhancing curb appeal for public buildings, and promoting sustainable land use through native plantings, erosion control, and low-impact development practices. In government contracting, landscaping services are critical for mission continuity at military bases, VA medical campuses, national parks, and other federal properties requiring ongoing groundskeeping and ecological stewardship. These services often fall under facility support contracts, integrated service agreements, and environmental restoration programs. Top contractors in this sector include DAP Construction Management LLC, Arbor Corporation Inc., Enfield Enterprises LLC, The Kelly-Turner Group Incorporated, Living Concepts Landscape Services, Inc., Visions in Creation LLC, EDG Entities LLC, Pacific Oasis Inc., SunTiff, LLC, TMG The Moore Group Inc., Kingdom Building Construction, LLC, Perfected Solutions LLC, and Mylestone Holdings LLC. These firms range from small businesses with specialized horticultural expertise to mid-sized primes offering comprehensive grounds management solutions, often competing for task orders under GSA schedules and multi-year maintenance contracts. Primary buyers include the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Interior, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Agriculture, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Demand is driven by facility readiness, environmental compliance, veteran wellness initiatives, and the preservation of historic landscapes on federal lands. Agencies frequently procure these services through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and service-level agreements requiring seasonal adjustments and pest/disease management protocols. The competitive landscape is dense with regional specialists and national service providers, creating high opportunity density in areas with concentrated federal infrastructure. Contractors with certified green infrastructure expertise, sustainable landscaping credentials, and experience in federal environmental regulations are best positioned to win repeat business and secure long-term task order awards.

Small business size standard

The SBA threshold that decides who can bid NAICS 561730 work as a small business.

SBA threshold
$9.5M
Applies to the whole industry code

The SBA cap for this NAICS (13 CFR 121.201). A business at or under it can self-certify as small for work in this code, which is what makes it eligible for a small-business set-aside. The cap is set per NAICS, so the same company can be small in one code and not in another.

13 CFR 121.201, effective January 1, 2026. The SBA revises the table roughly once a year.

Bidder counts reported on past federal awards in this NAICS (USAspending). An open opportunity has no bidders yet, so this is the historical norm for similar work, not a fact about this solicitation. Not all awards report bidder counts, and fewer bidders often means incumbent-held work rather than an easier win. Federal reporting of bidder counts fell from ~96% of awards (FY2016) to ~30% (FY2018 onward); the chart shows shares of reported awards, and washed-out stretches mark years with fewer than 30 of them.
