Landscaping work rarely gets its own dedicated permit type, so it shows up differently depending on which jurisdiction it's in. In Atlanta, it's mostly visible through complaint records -- overgrown lots, vegetation issues. In Gwinnett County, it more often surfaces as a condition attached to a permit that isn't about landscaping at all, requiring the developer to plant or preserve trees as part of the project. Both are real, honest signals -- they just come from different places.
Atlanta's landscaping signal comes primarily from code complaint records -- references to overgrowth, kudzu, general vegetation issues, or uncut grass. These are public complaints filed against a specific address, and they're a direct, practical lead source for landscaping companies: an address with a real, current problem, not a cold prospect.
Gwinnett's landscaping signal works differently. Rather than complaint records, it comes from conditions attached to development and building permits -- requirements around tree planting, tree preservation, or general landscape standards tied to the county's development ordinance. These conditions show up on permits that aren't landscaping permits themselves; a new construction or development permit can carry a landscaping condition as one requirement among several. This is genuinely where "tree planting" as a category lives -- not tree removal, but the opposite: requirements to plant or preserve trees as a condition of the project moving forward.
This isn't an inconsistency -- it reflects what each jurisdiction actually makes available. Atlanta's public complaint system is a rich source of landscaping-related issues; Gwinnett doesn't expose that kind of complaint data the same way, but it does structure permit conditions in a way that surfaces tree and landscaping requirements directly. Stamptd pulls from whichever real signal each jurisdiction actually provides, rather than forcing both into an identical structure that doesn't match the underlying data.
The Landscaping filter on the dashboard combines both signals into a single view -- Atlanta's complaint-derived leads and Gwinnett's condition-derived ones -- so a landscaping company working across both jurisdictions doesn't need to think about which underlying data source a given lead came from.
In Atlanta, it's primarily overgrowth, vegetation, or grass-related complaint records tied to a specific address. In Gwinnett County, it's tree planting, tree preservation, or general landscape conditions attached to a permit application, even when the permit itself isn't a landscaping permit.
Tree removal leads point toward trees being taken down. Landscaping leads in Gwinnett often point the opposite direction -- requirements to plant or preserve trees as a condition of a project. Both are tracked as distinct signals, since they represent different kinds of work.
Not as a separate filter -- tree planting and preservation requirements are captured within the Landscaping category, specifically through Gwinnett's condition-derived signal.
Both Atlanta and Gwinnett County, though through genuinely different underlying data -- complaint records in Atlanta, permit conditions in Gwinnett -- reflecting what each jurisdiction's own public data actually makes available.
