What does a Delaware landscaper license lookup show?

Delaware does not have a statewide landscaper license lookup because the state doesn't license landscapers at the state level. Delaware does not license landscape contractors at the state level. A general business license through the Division of Revenue is required to operate.

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

Source 1 — Local jurisdiction. Cities like Wilmington, Dover, and Newark often have local building-department registration. Check the city's website.

Source 2 — Secretary of State. Delaware Division of Corporations (https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/) 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 Delaware 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.
