In California, landscapers work under a Specialty Contractor classification C-27 administered by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Before hiring any contractor for your project, verify their license through the CSLB online system at cslb.ca.gov. You can search by license number (an 8-digit number found on their pocket license) or by contractor name.

Building permits in California are required for many landscape projects that involve structures or significant alterations. The California Building Standards Code mandates that most construction work obtain a permit before starting. Rules vary by city and county, so check with your local Sherman Oaks or Los Angeles building department to learn what permits apply to your specific work—whether that is a patio, retaining wall, pool deck, or other hardscape improvement.

When you contact a contractor, ask to see their license, confirm their C-27 classification, and verify the license status online. Discuss permits with them upfront and get a clear written contract with details of the work, timeline, and cost before work begins.
