In Florida, not all landscaping work requires a state license, but certain jobs do. The Construction Industry Licensing Board regulates contractors who undertake construction, repair, alteration, or improvement work for compensation. If your project involves structural work—such as hardscaping, irrigation installation, or tree removal that affects structures—you should verify whether your contractor holds the appropriate license. You can search the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation's online licensing portal to confirm a contractor's current status and license type.

Before hiring, ask your landscaper whether the work you need requires a state license and, if so, request their license number. Contractors are designated as either certified (license code beginning with C, valid statewide) or registered (code beginning with R, valid only in their jurisdiction). Check the DBPR license search to confirm the license is active and in good standing. This step protects you and ensures the contractor is qualified for the scope of work you're planning.
