What does a Colorado landscaper license lookup show?

Colorado does not have a statewide landscaper license lookup because the state doesn't license landscapers at the state level. Colorado does not license landscape contractors at the state level. Local jurisdictions handle landscaper registration; landscape architects are licensed by DORA.

What this means for verification: there's no central database to query for "is this landscaper licensed in Colorado." Instead, Colorado verification leans on four sources.

Source 1 — Local jurisdiction. Cities like Denver, Colorado Springs, and Aurora often have local building-department registration. Check the city's website.

Source 2 — Secretary of State. Colorado Secretary of State (https://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/) shows whether the landscaper's business is a registered legal entity in good standing. Dissolved or administratively revoked = red flag.

Source 3 — Court records. Civil court judgments, UCC liens, and mechanics' liens are public record in every Colorado county. A landscaper with multiple unsatisfied judgments is a hard stop.

Source 4 — OSHA and BBB. Federal OSHA inspection history is public, and BBB complaints are searchable. These are the strongest substitute trust signals when there's no state license to anchor verification.

Groundcheck (earthmove.io/trust) pulls all four sources into one sourced report under 90 seconds. The contractor is never notified.
