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.

Factors that impact the overall cost include the number of trees you’re having removed, their height, the diameter of their trunks, permits needed, and the tree’s accessibility.

Glenn was great to meet with, assessed the situation quickly, offered a fair estimate and showed up a few weeks later while we were out and did the work well. I have no complaints, although I still haven't received my invoice and would love to pay him for his fine work.

I've used them a number of years for tree service. The key is that they have an arborist who conducts the work so they are not a company who is going to come in and inappropriately prune the trees.

I got estimates and references from other providers and chose the Gentle Arborist based on the references. An employee did the actual work and cleaned up and removed all the debris in a very satisfactory manner.
