Landscapers in Illinois are not required to hold a state license; the trade is unregulated at the state level. However, you should still verify that any contractor you hire carries proper business licensing and insurance. Before signing a contract, ask the landscaper about their business registration and what coverage they carry. Chicago's Department of Buildings can help you understand local requirements for any construction or hardscaping work on your property.

If your landscaping project involves significant grading, drainage, or structural work, a building permit from the City of Chicago may be required. Smaller maintenance jobs like lawn mowing, trimming, and seasonal cleanups typically do not need permits. Contact the Department of Buildings or ask your landscaper whether a permit applies to your specific work. This step ensures your project meets Chicago's building code standards and keeps you protected.

When you call to get a quote, ask the landscaper about their experience with the type of work you need, what insurance they carry, and how they handle weather delays or seasonal scheduling. A clear scope of work and timeline help avoid surprises later.
