Do tree removal companies need to be insured?

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.

Isaac Nick took down one tree, trimmed, undercut and thinned several others. They were extremely professional, knew exactly what they were doing and cleaned up when finished. Excellent work!

I hired this guy in 2018 to assess my maple tree. Mr. Anderson told me that the tree is good for five years, but it fell this year and broke my windows. Keep away from this unprofessional guy!

I loved their professionalism. They are actual arborists whereas, often times with other tree companies it’s just one arborist and the rest are just kind of worker bees. These guys are all arborists and so they know what they’re doing.

Fairly well. One thing I wasn't happy about was that the crew showed up without an arborist (which they said they always had one on every team). They mentioned that the arborist had been injured on another job and was not able to come. That was understandable, but made me a little apprehensive...

The Arborist was very knowledgeable. His quote was very high for the landscaping job but he knows his trees. We would use him again if we need an arborist but a bit too high for general landscape work.
