About this file
This file is a General Prevailing Wage Determination (NC-LML-2026-1) issued by California's Director of Industrial Relations, effective February 22, 2026 through March 31, 2026, establishing wage requirements for landscape maintenance laborers performing routine and complex work throughout California counties. The determination applies to routine landscape maintenance work including mowing, watering, pruning, trimming, weeding, spraying, occasional planting, and equipment repair, but excludes new landscape construction and post-construction maintenance during plant installation. The basic hourly rate is uniformly $16.90 across all localities, with total hourly rates varying by county and work type, ranging from $16.97 to $17.71 for routine work and up to $26.16 for overtime (1.5X rate). Many counties distinguish between routine and complex work classifications, with complex work commanding slightly higher wages due to requirements for irrigation system servicing and equipment repair. Service years increase certain wage components including vacation, holiday, and health and welfare benefits according to specified schedules by locality.
Employers must provide required fringe benefits including health and welfare, pension, vacation, holiday, and training hour payments in addition to the basic hourly wage, with all amounts detailed in comprehensive tables organized by California county. Recognized holidays are those specified in applicable collective bargaining agreements on file with the Director, or if no agreement exists, those provided in Government Code Section 6700. Contractors are required to make travel and/or subsistence payments to workers in accordance with Labor Code Sections 1773.1 and 1773.9, with specific provisions available through the Director's website or by contacting the Office of the Director - Research Unit at (415) 703-4774. This determination supersedes previous wage rates and remains effective until replaced by a subsequent determination issued by the Director of Industrial Relations.
