Florida's climate is unforgiving on the wrong plant selection — sandy soils, summer heat, and water-management-district irrigation restrictions all reward contractors who actually know Florida-Friendly Landscaping principles over generic crews working from a national template.

How to verify a landscaping contractor in Florida

Landscaping contractors aren't state-certified by DBPR the way roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and general contractors are. Instead, verify them at the county level: in Orange County through the Orange County Contractor Licensing Division, in Seminole County through the Seminole County Building Division, and in Osceola County through Osceola County Building. Ask for a current local business tax receipt, a Certificate of Insurance (general liability and workers' comp) listing you as certificate holder, and proof they are registered with the appropriate county.

Always insist on a Certificate of Insurance (COI) emailed directly from the agent to you — not a PDF the contractor hands over — and check that workers' compensation is in force. If a landscaping contractor claims a workers' comp exemption, every worker on your property must be either the exempt officer or an employee of a separately insured subcontractor; if someone is injured on your job without coverage, the liability flows back to you as the property owner.

Why verifying matters in Florida

Florida law (§ 489.127, F.S.) makes it a third-degree felony to contract without a license on a project valued at $5,000 or more, or any size project during a declared state of emergency. Verifying licensure before you sign a contract is the single most important step you can take to protect your home and your deposit. Central Florida's hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and unlicensed storm-chasing crews routinely move through Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties after a major event. Confirming an active state license — and an in-state business address you can actually drive to — keeps you out of that risk pool. Landscaping is one of the least-regulated trades, which is why the burden falls on you to verify county registration, COI, and any voluntary certifications like FNGLA or ISA Certified Arborist.

Questions to ask before you hire

  1. Are you registered as a contractor with the county, and can you send me your COI directly from your insurance agent?
  2. Is this a flat quote that includes plant warranty, or is the warranty extra?
  3. Will you be on site supervising, or will a crew run unsupervised? Who is my point of contact during the job?
  4. For irrigation work: are you (or a sub) certified by FNGLA, and will the install include a rain sensor as Florida law requires?
  5. Do you handle debris haul-off and stump grinding, or is that billed separately?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for landscaping work?
Most planting, sod, and mulch work needs no permit. Hardscape over a certain size, drainage modifications, tree removal of protected species, and irrigation tie-ins to potable water generally do require a permit or city/county approval. Your contractor should know which side of the line your project falls on.
What plants actually survive Central Florida summers?
Native and Florida-Friendly Landscaping (FFL) species — recommended by UF/IFAS Extension — handle the heat, sandy soils, and rainfall pattern with the least irrigation. A good landscaper will lean on that list for new plantings instead of installing northern species that struggle by August.
How often should my irrigation run?
Most of the Orlando metro is under SJRWMD watering restrictions that limit irrigation to two days per week in daylight saving time and one day per week in standard time, typically before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. A reputable irrigation contractor will program your controller to those restrictions automatically.
Are there watering restrictions in Casselberry?
Yes — Casselberry falls under St. Johns River Water Management District (or in southern parts of the metro, South Florida WMD) restrictions, which limit landscape irrigation to specific days and hours based on your house number. A good Casselberry-area landscaper will already know the current schedule and program your controller accordingly.
