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 crew of three arrived on time and, after speaking with me about the work to be done and answering my questions, began their work. The arborist, who was also the foreman, was knowledgeable and helpful. The trees look great!

They had an arborist to come and give advice about the trees. They were very professional and they cleaned the place after the job was done. The previous tree service was very bad. They did a very good job.
