Common questions

Does a landscaper need a license in North Carolina?
It depends on the work and the price. North Carolina requires a landscape contractor license for landscaping work over a threshold set by the board, which covers design, grading, planting and hardscape. Mowing and basic maintenance do not require one.
Is a landscape contractor the same as a landscape architect?
No. A landscape contractor installs and builds; a landscape architect designs and is licensed by a different board. Larger projects often involve both.
What if my landscaper is not listed?
They may be doing work that falls below the licensing threshold, may be trading under a company license rather than their own name, or may not hold a license. Absence is a reason to ask, not proof of anything.
Who licenses landscape contractors in North Carolina?
The North Carolina Landscape Contractors' Licensing Board.

Sourced from the NC Landscape Contractors' Licensing Board, last checked August 27, 2026. The board is the authority; check with them before relying on this for anything that matters.
