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.

They were very good. They had a certified arborist which was very good and that way the tree was pruned properly with the help of the tree. I spent probably about $300 or $400 on that service.

I was afraid I'd lose the tree, but their arborist said that was unnecessary. He recommended the crown cleaning. They performed the work and did a good job of cleaning up.

The arborist also was very willing to take the time to educate me on the care and helpful hints to keep my trees healthy. Education also included what plants to purchase to attract beneficial insects to rid my plants of harmful insects.
