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. Be sure to <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">check our state licensing tool</a> to review the local landscaper guidelines.As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

How do I reduce landscaping costs?

<div>If you want landscaping done but want to save some money on the overall fees, you can do a few things at every stage. Some ways to save money on your landscaping include:<ul><li>Repurpose existing features and materials</li><li>Softscape instead of hardscape</li><li>Choose the more inexpensive materials</li><li>DIY when you can</li><li>Buy young plants instead of mature ones</li></ul></div>

How much are typical landscaping costs?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">Landscaping costs</a> around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:<ul><li>Location</li><li>Yard size</li><li>Project size</li><li>Materials</li><li>Land preparation</li><li>Type of landscaping</li></ul>Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000. </div>

MSH did a great job. They were quick and efficient. They made sure all the sprinklers were once the new sod was laid down and fixed all the drip lines for the new plants. And followed through to make sure the job was done well.

The team at Tri City did a great job in less than stellar conditions. While we had to delay start of the work by two days due to the heavy rains they came on Wednesday and did all the work by hand, as machines wouldn't work in the slick mud. Despite starting 2 days late they still completed the...

I had them completely gut my backyard and redo it. They were recommended on Angie?s List, but I think I might have done more shopping around based on the results. I thought that they could have done some things better. I guess I was led to believe based on what I had read on Angie?s List that...

They did the whole yard. It was a new home and bare ground. They did grass, bushes and trees. They did stone work also. The price was competitive. We are happy with them.
