Michigan does not require a statewide landscaper license — verification leans on entity registration, court records, OSHA citation history, and BBB complaints. Plus any local municipal licensing in your city. Groundcheck cross-checks all of these.
Michigan does not separately license landscape contractors at the state level. Landscape architects are licensed by LARA; pesticide applicators require a MDARD license.
