In California, landscaping contractors operate under a C-27 Landscaping Contractor classification issued by the Contractor State License Board (CSLB). Before hiring any contractor, verify their license status through the CSLB online license checker at cslb.ca.gov. You can search by license number, contractor name, or the individual associated with the license. A valid license ensures the contractor meets state standards and has undergone background review, including complaint disclosure.

Building permits and code requirements vary by city and county in California. According to the California Building Standards Code, many landscape projects—including deck and fence construction, retaining walls, and certain irrigation work—may require permits from your local building department. Contact the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection to determine what permits apply to your specific project before work begins.

When hiring, ask the contractor for proof of their C-27 license, verify it matches their active status on the CSLB system, and request references. Discuss permit requirements for your project upfront, clarify the scope of work in writing, and confirm the timeline and payment terms before signing a contract.
