What does it mean to be certified?

Sticking to the school theme this week, we wanted to address what it means when we say we are "certified".  Our employees have had a lot of education and have become subject matter experts in all landscape related fields including arboriculture, irrigation and landscape.  We are also licensed in many different areas and are members to many different trade organizations all with the emphasis on keeping our knowledge current to the latest innovations and techniques.

It is important to hire companies that are licensed to protect you, the consumer.  It is also important to have certified professionals that are committed on continuing their education for their field.  Here are a few of our memberships and what they mean:

The Texas Certified Landscape Professional (TCLP) program certifies individuals in the nursery and landscape industry that possess a high degree of knowledge and skill in horticulture and landscape development.
Texas Oak Wilt Certification (TOWC) signifies that the individual Arborist is ISA Certified and has received special training on the Identification and Management of Oak Wilt in Texas. Certified individuals may be associated with an Oak Wilt Vendor.

ISA Arborist certification signifies a professional identity who keep educated on the research of the new techniques related to the arboriculture field.
