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.

I wasn't pleased. They said the individual was an arborist. He came and gave me an evaluation. The price he was going to charge for the work was, I thought, pretty high. The service he offered was one and a half times mores than what I had been quoted by anyone else. I wasn't happy with that and...

The arborist was wonderful - knowledgeable, friendly, professional. He took a lot of time explaining our options. He advised that our tree be cut down. We felt that we were not emotionally ready to do this to our grand old tree which housed a tire swing, a tree house and was much beloved by our...

Mark's men took care of everything and cleaned up the yard. If you need a trained arborist for your trees then Mark is your man. You should review the videos on his website for the difficult jobs he is called to do.

With their knowledge of evergreen trees, they gave a good assessment of the tree. They didn't try to sell me any work that was free of charge. It was 4 hours of work with 3 guys working and they were knowledgeable. Bob Everhart was the lead guy and is a very educated and experienced arborist.

The quote was by far the most expensive quote I received. Twice as much, as other tree service companies that provided a quote. I received a quote from another arborist, as well that was $700 less. Jim was professional, but I can't speak to the quality of work b/c of the sticker shock.
