In Florida, landscapers who contract for construction, repair, or improvement work may need to be licensed depending on the scope of their project. Before hiring, you can verify whether a contractor holds a license through Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The Construction Industry Licensing Board oversees contractor licensing and regulates the industry through the state. Two license types exist: certified contractors, who can work anywhere in Florida after meeting statewide standards, and registered contractors, who are licensed for specific jurisdictions only.

To check whether a landscaper is properly licensed, use the official license search at the Florida DBPR website. You can search by the contractor's name, license number, city, or license type. This search shows whether they are currently active and in good standing. For landscaping projects involving structural work, hardscaping, or other improvements to real property, asking to see proof of licensure is a reasonable step before signing a contract.

When you plan a landscaping project, be aware that certain work may require permits or compliance with Florida's building codes. Ask your contractor whether permits are needed for your specific project and who will handle obtaining them. Discussing these requirements upfront helps avoid surprises and ensures the work meets local standards.
