How to check a California landscape contractor
A practical checklist for checking license status, written scope, references, documentation, permits, payments, and changes.
Rules and license records can change. Use the CSLB and local authorities as the primary sources for current requirements.
Verify the license
Search the contractor license number on the official CSLB website and review the current status, classification, personnel, bond, and workers-compensation information shown there.
Review the written proposal
Confirm scope, materials, quantities, preparation, schedule, payment terms, permits, cleanup, exclusions, and change-order procedures before work begins.
Request applicable documents
Ask for current insurance or bond documentation when relevant, recent references, permits, and written workmanship or manufacturer terms for the project.
