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.

We've used Bartlett's for twelve years and are very happy with them. They are certified arborists and although they're a bit pricey, the difference in the way our trees and bushes have grown since their work is tremendous.

My service started in March. An arborist came to look at a healthy tree that was way too close to the house. Each time, the crew had to race the weather. First to remove he tree, then to come back and get the stump. They made a difficult job look incredibly easy.
