Government contracts for landscaping & grounds maintenance in Illinois

Landscaping & grounds maintenance contracts in Illinois typically cover mowing and turf care on military bases, tree trimming around federal courthouses, irrigation upkeep at VA campuses, and snow-and-ice removal IDIQs at post offices. Federal posts in this category fall under NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), and the bulk of the work flows to DoD installations, the U.S. Postal Service, and VA medical centers. Recurring grounds contracts are heavily small-business set-aside and frequently reserved for HUBZone or SDVOSB firms.
