Marco Ordinance 08-15

The City of Naples recognizes the importance of water resources to sustaining the economic, environmental and human health of our community. To ensure adequate protection the City implemented ordinance 08-11972 that regulates professional landscaping activities and the application of fertilizer. According to this ordinance all professional landscapers applying fertilizer within City limits need to register with the City and obtain a Landscaper Certification.

To obtain the City’s Landscaper Certification, professional landscapers need to complete the Green Industries Best Management Practices training.
