In New York City, the Department of Buildings oversees licensing for construction and skilled trades. Before hiring any landscaper, you can look up their license status and history through the city's official database. This allows you to verify credentials, check for complaints, and confirm the business is properly registered. All license applications and renewals in NYC are now submitted online through the city's DOB NOW system.

The scope of work matters: some landscaping projects—especially those involving hardscape, excavation, or work near building foundations—may require permits or fall under building code requirements. It's worth asking whether the project you have in mind needs city approval. A professional landscaper familiar with New York's regulations can often advise you on this before work begins.

When you contact a landscaper, ask whether they hold any relevant licenses or registrations with NYC Department of Buildings, and ask about their insurance. Request references or examples of similar jobs they've completed. Be clear about whether you want one-time work or ongoing maintenance, and get a detailed estimate in writing before they start.
