Value of License


This license provides consumers with some specific protections. This includes but is not limited to: 

  • A bond which allows consumer compensation if there is a breach of contract or negligent or improper work. 
  • Liability insurance that provides protection to the consumer’s property if damage occurs during the construction phase of the project. 
  • A Landscape Construction Professional who has passed exams demonstrating technical knowledge to perform and supervise the work. 
  • A dispute resolution process administered by the board that mediates between the consumer and the landscape contracting business saving both parties legal costs . 
  • Workers’ compensation insurance which protects the employee and frees the consumer from responsibility if there is an injury on the work site.

When you contract with a licensed landscape contracting business you have a higher level of protection of your investment in your landscape project.
