STATE None RequiredGeneral Landscaping
Operating a landscaping business in St. Louis, Missouri, requires navigating both state-level business registration and city-specific licensing requirements. While general gardening and maintenance do not require a specialized trade license, contractors must maintain a valid City of St. Louis Business License and adhere to local tax and insurance regulations.
For projects involving structural elements like retaining walls, irrigation, or significant grading, contractors must secure appropriate permits from the St. Louis Building Division. Failure to obtain these permits or follow local environmental and waste disposal ordinances can lead to fines and work-stoppage orders. Always verify specific project requirements with the city before beginning work.
