In most states, landscapers must have a license. All landscapers working in North Carolina must have a license and state contract to plant and maintain lawns, gardens, trees and decorative landscape flora. Landscapers working in NC must pass an examination and possess a surety bond. Additionally, landscaping services that use pesticides for insect control must have a commercial pesticide license provided by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Licenses are not required for mowing lawns, maintaining lawns, sod installation and turf management. At MetroGreenscape, we are licensed to provide landscaping services and we have a commercial pesticide license. We even take it one step further by having our general contractor license to ensure that no project is too big for us to help you with!
