Florida Landscapers

What to Know About Hiring Landscapers in Florida
Landscaping is not a DBPR-licensed trade in Florida. However, many professional landscapers hold general contractor licenses — especially those who do hardscaping, irrigation, or structural work that overlaps with construction. Those licenses are verifiable through DBPR.
Call Charlie lists landscaping contractors who appear in DBPR records. If a landscaper has a state license of any type, their Public Record Score reflects their full compliance history.
What to Check Before Hiring a Landscaper
- Business License — check local county/city business tax receipts
- General Liability Insurance — protects your property during the job
- Irrigation License — if installing irrigation, check for county-level licensing
- Pesticide Applicator License — required by FL Dept of Agriculture for chemical treatments
- Written Contract — scope, materials, maintenance schedule, warranty terms
