Do tree removal companies need to be insured?

<div>Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job.

Should landscapers be certified or licensed?

<div>When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project.

Our lemon tree was overgrown with the neighbor's vines and was looking sickly. They trimmed back the overgrowth, trimmed back dead branches on the lemon tree, and explained that the tree was near the end of its life. With their care, the tree is still plugging away.
