In Florida, landscape contractors may be regulated depending on the scope of work. For projects that involve construction, alteration, or improvement to real property and require a contractor license, Florida's Construction Industry Licensing Board oversees licensing through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Contractors are designated either as certified (allowed to work statewide) or registered (limited to their jurisdiction). Before signing a contract, verify your contractor's license status using the DBPR's online license search tool.

When hiring a landscaper, ask whether they hold a state license and in what category—landscape contractors performing structural work may need licensing, while those doing general maintenance may not. Clarify the scope of your project: installation of hardscaping, irrigation systems, or sod often involves permitting and building-code compliance, while routine lawn maintenance typically does not. Always request references, a written estimate, and a timeline.

Some landscape projects, such as irrigation installation or significant hardscaping, may require permits and must comply with the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether permits are needed for your specific work and who handles the permit process.
