Landscape Architect

A person who practices landscape architecture is known as a landscape architect. This line of work involves the integration of man-made projects with natural environments. Most people that become this type of architect complete internships as well as obtain some type of post-secondary education. It is important to remember that those working in this field are not landscapers nor should they be referred to as gardeners. A landscape architect can perform a wide range of tasks, ranging from designing new additions to homes to completely changing the design of a landscaped area and more. This type of professional can also be called on for his or her services if poor drainage issues arise. In fact, in some situations, the services provided by this type of professional are required before project permits can be signed off on.
