Hiring a Landscaper in Los Angeles, California
In California, landscapers work under a Specialty Contractor license, classified as C-27 Landscaping Contractor by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Before you hire, verify that a contractor holds an active license by checking it online through the CSLB. You can search by license number or business name to confirm their status and view any complaint disclosures.
Many landscaping projects require a building permit from your local building department. Los Angeles has its own Department of Building and Safety that oversees permits for the city. The specific permits needed depend on the scope of work—some smaller maintenance tasks may not require one, but hardscaping, irrigation installation, or structural changes often do. Check with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety or ask your contractor whether a permit applies to your project.
When selecting a landscaper, ask whether they hold the proper classification and confirm their license before signing a contract. Discuss which permits your project will need and who is responsible for obtaining them. Get the contractor's license number and verify it online so you know you are working with an active, legitimate business.
How do I check if a landscaper's license is valid?
Use the CSLB online license lookup tool at cslb.ca.gov. You can search by the contractor's license number (found on their plastic pocket license) or by business name. The search will show their license status and any complaint disclosures. [4]
