The Raleigh, NC Local Code Shield
Before any shovel hits the red clay, ensure your contractor maintains a valid North Carolina Landscape Contractor's License issued by the NCLCLB. A true professional will demonstrate full compliance with the Raleigh Development Services Department, particularly regarding storm water runoff ordinances and impervious surface limits. Verify their liability insurance specifically covers damage to underground utility infrastructure, as Raleigh’s aging municipal lines are frequently encountered during deep excavation or grading projects.
