Stockton is home to 72 licensed landscaping contractors (C-27, CSLB September 2026) — #23 in California, about 6% of the 1,213 contractor licenses based here.
Nearby in San Joaquin County: Tracy (38), Lodi (31), Manteca (23), Ripon (10).
24% of Stockton's C-27 licensees hold more than one classification — most often C-8 Concrete Contractor (10%), B General Building Contractor (8%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 54% sole owners, 40% corporations, 1% LLCs; median time licensed 10.1 years.
For landscapers, underwriters focus first on: cuts, eye injuries and strains from power equipment; and thrown debris from mowers and blowers hitting cars and windows. See the full coverage guide for landscaping contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
Asena Capital Insurance Services compares multiple markets for Stockton contractors and requests additional insured endorsements for you when a contract calls for them. Call (858) 925-9555 or request a quote — only your name, phone and email are required. CA License #6008596.
72 active C-27 licenses have a business address in Stockton (CSLB, September 2026); 50% carry workers' comp and 44% are filed exempt.
If you have employees, yes. Solo C-27 operators can currently file an exemption; beginning January 1, 2028, CSLB will require workers' comp for all active licenses (SB 1455), except joint ventures. Tree service (C-61/D-49) already requires it.
