Do any of these landscapers show licensing?
2 of the 24 listings show a license on their websites. Requirements vary by state: some license contractors above a job value threshold, others regulate only pesticide application. Treat what you read as a claim to check with the issuing board, and ask for the certificate of insurance to come from the insurer rather than from the crew.
