How to get a landscaping license

By Kate Swindlehurst - Jun. 12, 2023

The requirements for a landscaping license vary by state. Landscaping licenses are issued at the state level, so it is important to check with your state to see the exact requirements. There are standard requirements that are typically needed in almost every state.

Typically, you need to first obtain a business license from your state and also obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. You also need to obtain a state tax ID number. You should also obtain landscaping business insurance and get bonded.

You then need to complete your landscaping license application. It includes all the information from above as well as adding personal information. You may need to pass a background check and pay a fee during your application. Once you obtain a license, be sure to look into renewal requirements to ensure that your license stays valid throughout your career.
