Set in the Orange County region of California, San Clemente is a secondary market of about 64,000 residents. Landscaping demand here is shaped by a distinct local mix: spring + summer is peak demand; in northern markets snow-removal contracts smooth winter cash flow, with stack recurring-revenue lawn-care contracts on top of high-ticket hardscape and design-build projects. The high-margin opportunity in this market is **design-build hardscape and outdoor-living projects** — typical ticket size CAD $8,000–$60,000 per project, with patio + outdoor-kitchen builds at the top end.
