In Illinois, landscaping contractors must comply with state licensing requirements enforced by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). You can check a contractor's license status and review any enforcement actions through the IDFPR's online portal at idfpr.illinois.gov. This is your first step before hiring: verify that any landscaper you consider is properly licensed and has no complaints on record.

Chicago's Department of Buildings issues permits for most landscape construction work, particularly hardscaping projects like patios, driveways, retaining walls, and outdoor structures. Before hiring, ask whether your project requires a permit and confirm that your contractor will handle permitting and inspection. Many landscape projects in the city require building permits to ensure compliance with local codes.

When evaluating a landscaper, ask about their experience with Chicago's building codes and whether they have successfully completed similar projects in the area. Request references from past clients and verify that they understand the permit requirements for your specific work—whether it's a simple lawn maintenance contract or a major hardscaping installation.
