You wouldn't think so by the majority types of individuals that come in contact with infrastructure engineering as subs.
But, if you think about it there are a metric buttload of plant species out there, and you really have to know something
about soil/materials to plant said species in a proper environment to allow them to flourish in the climate here.
Having high requirements for this practices actually is a good thing, would hate to see a development around Colorado with Palm Trees.
Sad thing is, I know some knucklehead is thinking of it right now too.
ok..i agree with the fact that plant habitation, species and other horticultural understanding is a necessity...
but the licensing would have to be specific to the state?
one item to consider that I have not thought of would be sprinkler systems? that would be in my opinion a legitamite matter to be tested on...water is more valuable than money?
in addition most jurisdictions already have mix seeds and types of native plants to be used...
if i am not mistaken the state (colorado) has in place species that work best for the state?
landscaping fees are in my opinion extremely expensive compared to engineering fees and I think this will simply increase fees for items that I just don't get?
the wind does blow and people in general are the problem with native species being driven out..
for exmple in the mountains rye grass is preferable to wheat type grass for obvious fire problems...
