Should landscapers be certified or licensed?

Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification.

I didn?t choose them as they were very expensive. However, I understood why they were expensive. The arborist explained to me that generally they did jobs that were larger than the one that I needed to have done. He was very nice and he could recommend me to a company that dealt with small jobs...

The company did more than I anticipated. In fact, the onsite crew went further than the arborist originally proposed. Having done so, the owner accepted the quoted price by the arborist rather than what the job should have cost.
