Escondido is home to 176 landscapers in CSLB's license file, ranking #2 of 15 San Diego County cities for this trade. 94.9% are Clear.

40.3% report a workers' comp exemption, 1 points higher than the statewide figure for landscapers (39.3%), so many of these businesses say they have no employees. The share with a suspension (5.1%) is close to the San Diego County rate for the same license (4.3%).

17 of these licenses are less than a year old, while 49.4% have been held for 10 years or more. The median is 9.8 years.

In California this work generally calls for the C-27 Landscaping Contractor license (or a B license when it is part of a larger multi-trade job). See the C-27 Landscaping Contractor guide for what the license covers.

How to check a landscaper's license in Escondido

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search Escondido). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-27 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  2. Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
  3. Ask for the pocket license and a photo ID and match the name to your contract. Work of $1,000 or more needs a license (the $1,000 rule), and a down payment can't exceed $1,000 or 10% (down payment rules).
