Landscaping contractor licensing overview

All states have a strong interest in regulating landscaping contractors in order to protect consumers and because of the inherently dangerous nature of the work. Typically, licensing requirements seek to reduce the risk of harm by creating minimum standards of competency and insurance coverage.

 

To obtain a landscaping contractor license, you are often required to demonstrate experience and ability through examination, references, or both. Furthermore, you may be required to provide a surety bond, proof of insurance, and/or documentation demonstrating financial stability.
