    All other business names are general. I have my "opinion" as to how to alphabetize Tom Jones Landscaping but wanted to know the correct "business etiquette" way.

    Thanks!

    I'd say put it under "T" because the name of the company begins with that letter.

    Thanks again. My first choice was not your suggestions. I would have done it Jones, Tom Landscaping... BUT, you have more experience in the business world than I and I take your advice gladly. Blessings!

    Plus I cataloged books and other library materials for 15 years (and that included alphabetizing). There might be a Bob Smith Landscaping company too. It would go under "B" with maybe a cross reference under "L" for Landscaping, so all the landscaping businesses would be grouped together.

    Bob Smith Landscaping
    Ronnie's Landscaping
    Sally James Landscaping
    Tom Jones Landscaping
    Uncle Pete's Landscaping
    Zita Emanuel Landscaping
