What these numbers say about landscaping in Santa Cruz-Watsonville
By record count, landscaping is the second largest of the 11 trades this site counts in Santa Cruz-Watsonville, behind other home service and ahead of flooring. That ordering is a property of the source data's categories rather than a judgement about which trade matters most in Santa Cruz-Watsonville.
Per resident, Santa Cruz-Watsonville carries far more landscaping records than California as a whole.
The independent share of Santa Cruz-Watsonville's landscaping records is close to the California figure, so the mix of independent, franchise-brand and corporate-owned records here is ordinary for the state.
Address completeness on Santa Cruz-Watsonville's landscaping records is close to the California figure.
A larger share of Santa Cruz-Watsonville's landscaping records link to an active state licence than the California figure for the same trade. That measures how well two files join here.
Almost every Santa Cruz-Watsonville landscaping record sits inside California, the state the licensed share is computed inside, so that share covers nearly the whole metro.
More landscaping licences lapsed in Santa Cruz-Watsonville over the last twelve months than were issued. A lapse is a licence that stopped being current, not a business that stopped trading. Both figures come from the state's own status field.

No Santa Cruz-Watsonville landscaping record is classified as a franchise brand or a corporate-owned location, so the chain split here is independent records and records still in review.
No Santa Cruz-Watsonville landscaping record is waiting on chain review, so the independent, franchise and corporate counts above account for the whole list.
More landscaping records first appeared in Santa Cruz-Watsonville over the last twelve months than were flagged closed, so the file for this trade and metro grew. A record appears when the source learns of a business, which is a different event from a business opening.
