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.

They are completely awesome. I love them. They have been very helpful in servicing my tree's and taking care of them. They have two arborists that work there and they consult with a third arborist. I would recommend them.

I bought the $75 deal for an arborist to evaluate some trees. They couldn't get the arborist to my place within 3 weeks so I contacted Angies list and got a refund. ADVICE: Don't pay for an evaluation. There are many other companies around that will have an arborist do an evaluation for FREE.

Outstanding company to work with. The crew was on time, professional and clean up was great. I highly recommend and would hire again. Their estimate was the best and having an arborist was very reassuring.

They sent out an arborist who was on time (he actually called and asked if it was OK for him to arrive slightly early), knowledgeable, and friendly. Ultimately we decided to hold off on the work, but the interaction with the company was favorable.

THEY DO GOOD WORK, BUT THEIR PRICE SEEMS EXTREMELY HIGH. THEY EMPLOY NICE PEOPLE, ARE RELIABLE AND PROVIDE GOOD SERVICE OVERALL. THEY ARE NOT CERTIFIED ARBORISTS.

They are very professional and they have arborists on staff. They did a good job but their price always seemed high. I found another company that does similar work for a lower price.

I initially talked with them and they said they could cut the limbs back to the tree, and they said they could do this. The estimator said they could and the arborist said they could not. The first company I got an estimate from stated that I could not do what I wanted to. I got a second...
