To be licensed for the VA landscape contractor, you must pass the LSC exam administered by the PSI in order to confirm that you have attained at least a minimum level of knowledge regarding the principles, practices, statutes, and regulations on landscaping services.

This includes services like excavation, clearing, grading, construction of retaining walls for landscaping purposes, or placement of landscaping timbers. Landscaping Contractors may also remove stumps and roots below grade (CBC, RBC, and H/H classifications are also eligible for providing this function).
