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>

The lawn and gardens sat neglected for a year. They came in and chopped, chainsawed, weedeated, and mowed until it was an actual yard again. They did it all in one day. The price was more than reasonable. I can not recommend them high enough.

Whispering Hills arrived early in the morning (8AM) to mow our lawn before rain showers began. Once the rain began, they waited out the heaviest rains, and then continued to complete their finish work of blowing away the mowed grass, etc.

It went well. They mowed and cut the weeds. They also cut and hauled away some tree debris that was in the yard. Cleaned up the grass from the walkway. The lawn looks great.

They get all A's. They are punctual. I don't even have to call them during the summer, when it is time to mow my lawn they just show up and do it and then I get billed. The times that I have wanted a little more trimming around the garage I have just called them, left a message, and the work was...

They are real easy to work with and they are real accommodating. They come every week on Friday, but if it is raining or the weather is bad, they will come on the next available day that they are able to mow. They are really good about it.

I always cut my own grass but since I was scheduled for surgery I needed someone to cut it the rest of the growing season. I contacted Ray and his price was reasonable. the lawn looks better than when I cut it.
