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.

Rick, their estimator and arborist, came promptly. There was some miscommunication regarding whether the stump should be removed, so that was not done initially. After another call that was done satisfactorily.

They are knowledgeable and are arborists so they really know trees. Their prices were highly competitive and they cleaned everything up perfectly. They are very professional and I will use them again in the future.

It was nice to trust a certified arborist with the pruning of my fruit trees. I appreciated him explaining to me what he was cutting and why. Two men worked quickly to finish the job on a very cold day and cleaned up all the cuttings from the yard.
