Defining Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture is the art and science of analysis, planning, design and management of the natural and built environment; creating visually interesting and meaningful designs that provide for the client’s health, safety and well being, while defining, rehabilitating or preserving the environment.

What do Landscape Architects Do?
Landscape architects enhance the quality of our lives through the design of those places in which we live, work, and play. 

Landscape architects may work for public officials, developers or private land owners, collaborating with their consultants (Architects, Engineers, Contractors) to plan the location and arrangement of buildings, walkways, roads, parking areas, water features, site furnishings, recreation facilities, trees, shrub/flower beds and irrigation systems.

Projects may include site planning, planting and garden design, park and recreation planning, urban and regional planning, environmental restoration, or historical preservation.  Whether the size of the project is a small residential backyard, a school campus, an office/shopping complex, or large regional or county park system the landscape architect considers the human needs in addition to the built and environmental needs to enhance the quality of people’s lives in our communities.
