Licensing and permits in Alabama
Gardening and lawn/garden maintenance generally doesn't require a state or provincial trade license in the US or Canada; reputable gardeners still carry general liability insurance, and separate pesticide-applicator licensing applies only if chemical treatments are involved.
Residential building permits in Alabama are issued locally — there is no statewide permit office; each city or county building/inspections department (e.g., Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery each run their own) enforces the state-adopted IRC-based code, though enforcement is spottier in rural/unincorporated areas. In Montgomery, permits come from the City of Montgomery Inspections Department (Building Inspection).
Tax: Labor to repair or restore existing tangible personal property is NOT taxable in Alabama as long as the labor/service charge is billed as a separate line item from any parts (Ala. Admin. Code r. 810-6-1-.84); if a contractor fabricates a part during the job, that fabrication labor becomes taxable even when itemized separately, and materials/parts sold are taxable regardless.
Best time to book in Montgomery
Book spring cleanups and recurring plans in late winter (Feb-Mar) to lock in lower rates and preferred time slots before the April-August peak. Peak demand: April, May, June, July and August. Typical job length: 1-3 hours per visit.
DIY or pro? Routine mowing, light weeding, and watering are reasonable DIY tasks; hire a pro for hedge shaping, seasonal overhauls of neglected beds, bulk mulch installation, or any job requiring specialized tools.
