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.

Very well, two days. They also trimmed some trees. They brought a huge crane in Very neat, they cleaned up brush as they went along, and even blew the driveway off. The guys doing the heavy lifting, were polite. They're going to deep fertilize our oaks, hopefully they'll live longer.
