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>

THEY WERE VERY INCONSISTENT WITH THE TIMING OF MOWING. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD TRIM , SOMETIMES NOT. WHEN THEY DID TRIM GRASS ALONG HOUSE, GARDENS & SIDEWALKS , MOST OFTEN THEY WOULD TRIM THE GRASS DOWN TO THE BARE GROUND SO ONLY DIRT WAS SEEN. WE WERE CHARGED FULL PRICE EVEN WHEN THE WORK WAS NOT...

After several days of rain in Oxon Hill, MD and overgrown grass, my mowed lawn looks great. The fee quoted for regular lawn mowing was fair. I will use again. Thank you!

He speaks English but he can be difficult to understand sometimes. They are very professional and they do a great job. We have a pretty big yard and they come out twice a month.

I've been happy with his service. He mowed the grass a little higher than I used to, but the lawn looks better than when I used to mow it, so I'm happy with the service.

I called Little Landscaping and another company to get estimate to mow my overgrown load and Jason responded. He mowed our foot high grass and cut down the sapplings. The lawn looked great afterwards.
