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.

He came out promptly the first time. One of the trees he treated died and he never returned. I have left numerous calls for him. He called back and said he would stop by but he never followed through.

They are wonderful. Sometimes you have to wait a while for them to come, but once they are here they do a terrific job. They clean up very well and they certainly take care of all the problems. They point out things I am not aware of. I can't think of anything bad.

THE CREW DID A GOOD JOB OF CLEAN-UP IN MY YARD AND MY NEIGHBOR'S. I WAS NOT HOME WHEN THEY DID THE WORK, BUT MY NEIGHBOR SAID THEY WERE COURTEOUS TO HER. I HAD THREE ESTIMATES, BUT THIS ONE WAS THE MOST REASONABLE.

They were very professional. An arborist came out to quote me with a price. She was very nice and had a pleasant personality. They cleaned up so well after they were done with the work. The trimming was done nicely. I was very satisfied with the workers and the arborist.

Excellent! Care of Trees is the best for tree pruning and tree care. It makes me feel very comfortable with the work to be done when I meet with the arborist first and we talk through the work to be done. I highly recommend them and my arborist, John Kelly.

The arborist came out a couple of days previously to go over all of the work and explain what they would do. The crew arrived with the arborist explaining in detail the hedge and other trimming. They work was accomplished and all the mess removed.
