Michigan has no general landscaping license, but pesticide application for hire needs an MDARD business license, and paid residential patio, wall or excavation work may need a LARA license. Anyone digging must call MISS DIG 811 first.
How we check credentials →Compare the written scope, materials, visit frequency, cleanup, insurance certificates and the warranty on plants or workmanship, not just the bottom line.
Landscaping in Metro Detroit has to handle heavy clay soils, wet springs, freeze-thaw winters and mature trees on older lots. Use this page to pick the right service, request quotes from local landscapers and tree pros, and check the details that separate a lasting job from a quick one. Building a fence or deck instead? See fence and deck builders. Large earthmoving belongs with excavation contractors.
Separate maintenance (mowing, lawn care, shrub trimming, mulching, snow removal) from projects (design, planting, hardscaping, drainage, irrigation). For tree work, note the species if you know it, the height, and anything nearby such as the house, a garage, a fence or power lines.
Landscaping itself is not a LARA license trade, but related work can be. Businesses that apply pesticides for hire need an MDARD pesticide application business license and a certified applicator. Paid residential concrete, masonry or excavation work above a threshold set by state law needs a Residential Builder or Maintenance & Alteration license. Michigan law requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before digging, and earth changes of one acre or more, or within 500 feet of a lake or stream, generally need a soil erosion permit.
For maintenance: visit frequency, what each visit includes, and how fertilizer and weed control are applied (Michigan restricts phosphorus on lawns). For projects: plant list and sizes, base depth under pavers, drainage plan, and warranty. For trees: rigging method, cleanup, stump plan and proof of insurance. Then check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Pros serve all six counties, but permits come from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, building permits go through BSEED. Trees between the sidewalk and curb are often owned by the city, so ask before pruning or removing them. Browse by city or county, such as Oakland or Macomb.
