Key figures

  • Landscaping Services (NAICS 561730) shows $2,127,005,166.84 in contract obligations.
  • The total covers 8,599 contract awards, not an acreage census.
  • Bundled facilities-support NAICS is outside this table when tagged separately.
  • Dollars are obligations, not outlays; assistance without NAICS is excluded.

Eight thousand five hundred ninety-nine awards, $2.13 billion

The $2,127,005,166.84 obligation stock sits on 8,599 contract awards, implying about $247,400 per award. Grounds contracts on federal installations often use recurring task orders, which raises the action count. The packet does not split mowing from planting. It supports the sum and the count.

Facilities support services (561210) can bundle landscaping with janitorial and guard work when tagged that way. Those bundled dollars sit on 561210, not here, unless the award also carried 561730. Janitorial (561720) is likewise a neighbor, not a subset.

Grounds-service obligations versus construction

New landscaping installation on a construction site may be tagged as a specialty trade when the office used a construction NAICS. 561730 is a services code for landscaping establishments as classified. Mixing roofing or building-construction totals with $2,127,005,166.84 invents a “site work” figure the packet does not contain.

Assistance for conservation or urban-forestry programs may lack NAICS. Those grants would not increment this industry total. Keep 561730 on the contract hub.

What 8,599 does not count

The award count includes orders and modifications that keep 561730. It is not 8,599 parks and not 8,599 lawns. One base-operations landscaping vehicle can generate many of those rows. The industry page lists recipients.

Obligations versus monthly grounds invoices

A landscaping contract can be obligated for a season or a year while invoices follow mowing cycles. Outlays are not in the packet. Option years can add rows to the 8,599 while the $2.13 billion moves with each signed action.

Using the landscaping hub

The Landscaping Services industry page lists the USAspending.gov actions behind $2.13 billion. Agencies and vendors belong there. Compare 561730 with janitorial, facilities support, and other 561xxx services on the all-industries index.

Citing 561730 without turning it into an acreage census

Quote $2,127,005,166.84 as USAspending contract obligations on 8,599 awards tagged NAICS 561730. Do not convert the total into acres maintained. Landscaping NAICS on contracts record contractor commitments as classified, not GIS layers of federal lawns.

Bundled facilities-support awards tagged 561210 are outside this total. Standalone landscaping tagged 561730 is inside. The table follows the reported six digits, not the full task list on a performance work statement.

The 8,599-award count should travel with the dollars. Warehouse refreshes can move both figures. Recoding grounds work into a facilities-support vehicle would send new actions off this page.

Assistance without NAICS remains outside. Quote USAspending.gov, quote obligations, quote 8,599 awards, and open the hub for recipients. Stop before converting landscaping services into advice about how a property should be maintained.

Readers quoting this industry should keep two packet facts in one sentence: $2,127,005,167 in USAspending.gov contract obligations and 8,599 awards tagged NAICS 561730 (LANDSCAPING SERVICES). Dropping either figure hides whether the book is a few large vehicles or many small orders. The rounded obligation used for citation is $2,127,005,167; cents on the source total, if any, do not change the industry identity of the code.

LANDSCAPING SERVICES shows 8,599 award records, enough to include recurring orders without resembling a micro-purchase flood. Modifications that keep the code are inside the count. Administrative and support codes record tagged service contracts, not square footage cleaned or acres mowed. LANDSCAPING SERVICES is the NAICS on the award. Record corrections in the USAspending.gov warehouse can move both the $2,127,005,167 and the 8,599-award count. Treat the live LANDSCAPING SERVICES industry page as current and this file as a reading of the harvested packet.

Internal comparison belongs on the all-industries index, where NAICS 561730 sits beside other six-digit contract totals. Adding neighboring codes by hand creates a new total this packet does not contain; cite each NAICS if you add. Assistance awards that omit NAICS remain outside $2,127,005,167. Outlays remain unpublished here. Quote obligations, quote 8,599 awards, cite USAspending.gov, and open the overlay hub for recipients rather than inventing agencies, fiscal years, or unit counts the packet does not list.

A second check on language: do not call $2,127,005,167 an appropriation, a budget request, or cash disbursed. It is the recorded contract-obligation stock for LANDSCAPING SERVICES (NAICS 561730) in the indexed USAspending.gov extract. Do not call 8,599 a count of establishments. It is an award-record count. Those two constraints are the whole method of this guide.
