Hi Christopher, mowing and lawn care in New York are services, though plants, mulch or materials you sell may call for the Certificate of Authority. If you buy items for resale, use Resale Certificate (Form ST-120). High Point Landscaping Service is a trade name, so a DBA is your filing, and the business needs a federal tax ID for banks and suppliers.
Short answer: Apply For DBA Sole Propreitor Penfield New York: a lawn mowing and landscaping service in Penfield typically needs a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
In New York, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Authority. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Resale Certificate (Form ST-120). New York treats sellers of tangible goods as vendors who must register, and a buyer needs a Certificate of Authority to issue Form ST-120. A New York Certificate of Authority must be displayed at the business, and buyers list its number on the ST-120 resale certificate. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
