Landscapers in Illinois do not require state licensure under the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. However, if your project involves landscape construction—such as hardscaping, drainage, or structural work—the City of Chicago may require a permit from the Department of Buildings. Check with the city before starting work that alters grading, adds walls, or involves significant site prep.

When hiring a landscaper for ongoing work like lawn maintenance, ask whether the contractor carries general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance. For any landscape work in Chicago, confirm with the contractor that they will obtain required permits from the Department of Buildings if your project scope calls for them.

For recurring services such as weekly mowing or seasonal cleanup, discuss the scope in writing: what is included each visit, the schedule, and how the contractor handles weather delays or cancellations.
