In California, landscapers typically operate under a Landscaping Contractor classification (C-27 license). Before hiring, verify the contractor's license status through the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) online lookup, which lets you check by license number or business name and see complaint disclosure information.

Whether your landscaping project requires a building permit depends on the scope and location. The California Building Standards Code requires permits for most construction work. Los Angeles has its own building department with specific permit requirements. Check with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety or contact your local building official to confirm what permits apply to your project—permits vary by city and county across the state.

When selecting a landscaper, review any contract carefully before signing. Ask about their experience with your project type, request references, and verify that they carry appropriate insurance.
