STATE Not RequiredFor basic work
Landscaping contractors operating in Houma, Terrebonne Parish, must navigate a mix of state-level business requirements and local parish ordinances. While basic lawn care and planting services are largely unregulated at the state level, contractors must ensure they are properly registered as a business entity with the Louisiana Secretary of State and hold a valid occupational license issued by the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government.
For more complex projects involving irrigation, hardscaping, or significant site grading, contractors must consult with the Terrebonne Parish Planning and Zoning Department to determine if building or drainage permits are necessary. Additionally, any application of chemical pesticides requires specific certification from the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to ensure compliance with state environmental safety standards.
