Why Hire a Registered Landscape Contractor?

 

 

A North Carolina Registered Landscape Contractor has:

 

·       Landscape Experience

Three years of landscape experience is required before the board will allow an individual to apply and take the exam.

 

·       Knowledge of Landscaping and Plants

Every Registered Landscape Contractor has passed several examinations on plants, construction methods and the use of landscape plans.

 

·       A Reliable Reputation

Applicants for examination must be of acceptable moral character. References are required and are thoroughly checked.

 

·       Proven Professionalism

References from clients are required before the examination is permitted.

When you hire a Registered Landscape Contractor:

 

·       You as a Consumer are Protected
The North Carolina General Statute 89D requires that a person operating as a landscape contractor must be duly registered under the terms of the law. It is unlawful for someone to advertise as a “landscape contractor” unless registered with the board.

 

The N.C. Landscape Contractors Registration Board examines all applicants qualified for examination and maintains a registry of all registered individuals. To find out if a landscaper fits these requirements, you can check the registry by calling the NCLCRB at
(919) 266-8070 or by visiting their web page at http://www.nclcrb.state.nc.us/

Unregistered “landscapers” may lack knowledge, experience or a good reputation. This could lead to sub-standard work performed on your property. Protect yourself.

 

When you hire a Registered Landscape Contractor, you have the assurance of hiring a person deemed a professional by the N.C. Landscape Contractors’ Registration Board.
