Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Changes in zoning laws can significantly impact the landscape design business, as they may limit where and how projects can be completed. This can create uncertainty and challenges for businesses operating in the industry. The other options do not necessarily create uncertainty in the business environment, as homeowners who do-it-themselves may still require expert advice and assistance, demand fluctuations are expected, and a competitor leaving the market may even create new opportunities for growth.
