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.

The owner came to the house and knew his product. My trees were never trimmed right in 12 years. Certified arborist makes all the difference and is worth paying for. Many can do it cheaper but these guys do it right!! You need an arborist not a landscaper on your trees. The best!!
