What's Driving Mulching Demand in Louisiana
Mulching decisions in Louisiana, especially around New Orleans, have to account for something most states don't worry about much: Formosan subterranean termites, an aggressive introduced species that has spread through the region since arriving decades ago and causes far more structural damage than native termite species. Because wood mulch piled directly against a home's foundation can give termites a moisture rich bridge straight to the structure, providers working in termite pressure areas often recommend keeping mulch pulled back from foundation walls and choosing materials or depths that don't hold excess moisture against the house. That's on top of mulching's usual job of retaining soil moisture and suppressing weeds in beds, which matters plenty on its own given the state's heat and heavy rainfall. Getting both the horticultural and pest prevention sides of mulching right is more of a consideration in Louisiana than in states without a serious termite problem.
Licensing in Louisiana: Louisiana does not regulate basic yard work such as mowing, edging, and hand weeding beds, so no license is required for that kind of routine service. However, anyone paid to do landscape work beyond basic yard work, including bed preparation, plant or sod installation, fertilizing, shrub pruning, or giving professional advice on plant selection and placement, must hold a Landscape Horticulturist License issued by the Louisiana Horticulture Commission, a division of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Getting licensed requires passing a commission exam and paying an exam fee plus an annual license fee. That distinction between unlicensed routine mowing and licensed design or installation work runs through most of the services covered on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the providers I'm connected with licensed and insured?
Licensing and insurance requirements for landscaping work vary by state and locality, and not every state requires a specific landscaping license. Ask the provider directly about their licensing and insurance before work begins.
How do I know what kind of landscaping service I need?
The right service usually comes down to what's happening: a yard that just needs regular mowing, beds that need a redesign, or a drainage problem all point to different types of work. When you call, describe exactly what you're dealing with and we'll help match you with a provider suited to that specific job.
