The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was designed to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. The NAICS is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. The NAICS Code for landscaping businesses is 561730.
