Before you hire a landscaper, check whether your project requires a building permit. Los Angeles has a Department of Building and Safety that oversees permits for most work. Landscaping projects may or may not need a permit depending on the scope—for example, hardscaping, grading, or drainage work often does. Contact the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety or your local building department to confirm what applies to your job.

In California, landscapers typically hold a Landscaping Contractor license (C-27 classification) issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Before hiring, verify the contractor's license status and check for any complaints on file. You can search by license number or business name on the CSLB website. Ask the contractor for their license number and confirm it is current and in good standing.

When signing a contract, review the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms carefully. Ask whether the contractor will pull any required permits and who is responsible for permit fees. Understand what happens if the project requires city approval or inspection. A clear, detailed agreement protects both you and the contractor.
