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. Be sure to <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">check our state licensing tool</a> to review the local landscaper guidelines.As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: <ul><li>The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check</li><li>Required to have applicable state and local licenses</li><li>Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review</li><li>Paying to advertise their services</li><li>Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi</li></ul>Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.</div>

How much are typical landscaping costs?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm">Landscaping costs</a> around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:<ul><li>Location</li><li>Yard size</li><li>Project size</li><li>Materials</li><li>Land preparation</li><li>Type of landscaping</li></ul>Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000. </div>

He used the pushing lawn mower. He was very nice, he was a nice young man. He did a good job and I was pleased with it. He was good on everything, trimming and all that.

We used Mike when we lived in Sugar Land. When we moved to Missouri City, I called Mike and he came out in a timely manner to provide a quote for lawn service at our new home.

Tenants complained grass would get too high between mowings and also that he was doing a good job like previous lawn service. I returned to previous lawn service at a slightly higher rate.

I recently switched my lawn service to Just Mowing. For some reason when I first told them that I wanted to use them, they set me up to have my lawn mowed every 2 weeks instead of the weekly service that I wanted. I don't know anyone in my neighborhood that can get away with mowing their St....

Mowing height was inconsistent. There where parts, on a previously well kept lawn, where the grass was brown because they had cut almost to the roots. Also, they had complete disregard for the neighbors yard, cutting almost half way into their yard and leaving it looking awful. I called to...

They are great. I pay $25 for the mowing. They gave me a price this year and the schedule which states that in the winter, they would only mow the lawn only once. I have a very big trampoline in the backyard and they have to move it to cut the grass underneath and they do that.

Deerwood Lawn & Landscape works fast and gets the work done quickly. The work is complete in thirty minutes to an hour, due in part to a large crew. They mow my lawn, pickup or blow the clippings, trim hedges, and even do my flower bed. In the past they have planted grass for me too.
