If horticulture is not your interest - and horticulture is virtually 100% the foundation of landscaping - I'd suggest just becoming a hardscape contractor.

Not sure how it works over there, but in here in Oregon, you wouldn't stand a chance of passing the state license exams to be a landscape contractor to install or contract and sub the rest.

Even people with a passion for landscaping here have a track record of only 1 person in 10 passing all the exams the first attempt.

You would be able to get the construction license.

It seems best for you, that you either become a licensed landscape service and sub out everything that involves horticulture, or just become a sub for horticultural landscapers who don't like doing their own hardscape.
