Hey there! I’m excited to bring you through this quick article that will provide you with practical steps to get one step closer towards obtaining your landscaping contractor license.
What is a landscaping license and what can you do with it?
A landscaping license is an official contractors license (C27 license) with the CSLB. And you can do a lot of things with a landscaping license. You can install irrigation systems, you can plant trees, and you can even accidentally run over your annoying coworker with a lawnmower. However, we don’t recommend you do that. With that being said, at least you’ll be legally qualified to do so. Anyways, with this landscaping license, California allows you to do all the work outlined on their website here.
Now to the important stuff: How can I get a landscaping license?
First, you want to make sure you’re qualified. The first requirement is you have be 18 years old or older. Maybe you’re a self made hundredaire as a 14 year old. You started mowing your neighbors lawns at 10 you’re looking to break free from your 8 to 3 school schedule, and finally make it in life! Someone has to be the bear of bad news, so I’ll give it to you straight. You can’t qualify yet. Keep it up and we talk later down the road!
On top of this 18 year old requirement, you also have to have a valid Social Security Number or ITIN, and you have to have four years of hands-on journeyman level experience
Now that you know that you’re qualified, you can finally start making the necessary steps towards getting your license!
Step one: Get involved with a school that can help you out and guide you through the whole process! Isn’t that what we are? Yes, we are your humble servants here to guide you through the entire process. From A-Z we will guide you through the entire thing until you receive your physical license!
This Is Why We Exist, To Help YOU!
Step two: Start studying! Our classes are only once a week to work around your busy schedule. We provide you with all the materials: books, practice exams, videos and audios, and more. Everything we give you is what you need. Do you really want to be stuck studying a 1300 page law book?
Step three: Send out your application to the state. The great thing about getting signed up with us is not only do we help you with the application, but we walk you through the entire thing step-by-step. There’s not a line that we will not guide you through. Will do all the heavy lifting. Yesterday, I bench pressed 1405 pounds. Yes, that is a world record. Pretty cool, right?
Step four: Take and pass your tests! Our material is specifically designed to condense the state material. Like I mentioned before, on average, the state law book is around 1300 pages. Our material? It only contains what you will see on the test. We guarantee that you’ll pass! Our 99% pass rate says so.
Step five: Finalize everything with the state. This is the final stretch. Unless you actively participate in yoga. In that case this most likely won’t be your final stretch.
This includes taking your asbestos test, completing your livescan, and getting your minimum bond requirements. We will still be helping you with this entire process as well. Like I said, we help you till the very end!
What You’ve Been Waiting For
Step six: Receive your license! It will come in the mail in a big white envelope containing your contractor license card along with a little certificate! You can hang that certificate on your wall, then put your license in your wallet with the fat stack of cash (and the unused BJ’s gift card that your Grandma got you 10 years ago before she fell down the stairs) and get going.
Step seven: Start cranking out some massive business. But our help doesn’t end there if you don’t want to. We’re a family here. We have resources to get you all of the essentials up and running like branding, marketing, bookkeeping, and more.
