Do you need a license to mow lawns in California?

Me and a couple buddies want to start mowing lawns for extra money. We live in San Diego, and I'm just wondering if it's legal for us to do this without any kind of license. We aren't looking to make anymore than a couple hundred bucks a week. And while it may not be illegal to mow lawns, would it be illegal to give ourselves a name? We want to call it "Lawn Enforcement"-The authority in lawn maintenance. LOL, should we just stick to no name?

3. you do not need a ca. contractors license if you perform work under $600 for each job. if you plan on using a ficticious name, you will have to get a city business license and a ficticious name statement, so you can deposit your checks into a bank account. go for it, sounds good , catchy name.----good luck
