The Florida Certified Landscape
Contractor (FCLC) program is the only standard in Florida for
measuring the knowledge of practicing landscape contractors.
Administered by FNGLA, the program is designed to promote professionalism
and raise the standards of Florida's landscape industry. FCLC
also provides a way for government agencies, landscape architects,
companies and individuals to choose qualified professionals in
a state that does not require licensing of landscape contractors.
In fact, FCLC has been included in the specifications of many
state and local agencies, requiring that anyone bidding on particular
jobs hold an FCLC designation.
