The Village Board finds that Landscaping often includes the
use of pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides, and poses a risk
of causing noise, odors, or other nuisances which may impair or disturb
the health, safety, and welfare of the Village and its residents.
This article is enacted to regulate the performance of Landscaping
and Landscapers to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the
Village and its residents.
Except as provided herein, all Persons who perform Landscaping
in the Village shall obtain a Landscape License in accordance with
this chapter. In addition, each vehicle and truck used in connection
with any Landscaping business conducted within the Village shall be
required to have a permit sticker affixed and displayed on the driver's
side of the vehicle or truck.
No Landscaper shall perform Landscaping within the Village without
first obtaining a Landscape License to do so from the Village. All
Landscaping work by an unlicensed Landscaper is hereby prohibited.
Landscape Licenses shall be obtained by the proprietor of the Landscaping
business or by a corporate officer.
The Landscape License issued pursuant to this chapter, or a
photocopy signed by the licensee, shall be in the actual possession
of the Person performing the Landscaping at the site.
All Landscapers shall provide proof of insurance to the Village
as required by the Village Landscaping Regulations.
