Listen, we get it. Landscaping is an investment, and you want to be confident you’re in the right hands.
Selecting the right professional to design and implement your dream space is a huge deal! As you begin the vetting process, you may notice that there are two primary classifications of landscape design professionals: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS and LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS.
Many want to know, “Which is the right fit for my project?" "Is one better than the other?"
Landscape architecture is a regulated profession. It requires a license that takes years of study and a degree from an accredited program. Before stepping out on their own, an aspiring landscape architect must work under an experienced landscape architect and pass a series of technical exams. Landscape architecture is a multi-disciplinary profession that combines creativity and engineering with a passion for the natural world and designing beautiful spaces for people to enjoy.
Similarly, landscape designers have studied design, horticulture, and the architectural components of preparing and installing a landscape design. In addition to earning certifications, degrees, and design credentials, many landscape designers have spent years in the field gaining construction expertise before transitioning into landscape design. Their practical experience and knowledge of construction is invaluable.
All of Southview's design professionals have been extensively trained and offer years of professional experience to their clients.
To be considered a certified Landscape Architect, one must undergo years of study and pass a series of technical exams.
The technical exams required to be a Landscape Architect are not required to be a Landscape Designer. However, many Landscape Designers have obtained collegiate degrees in Landscape Design or similar areas of study and have years of industry experience.
In the world of residential landscape design, a designer or architect will provide the same level of service.
In both cases, the landscape professional will meet with the client to discuss ideas, provide suggestions, and present a proposed rendering. They will then work alongside the construction crews to ensure the project is installed according to the plan's specifications.
Landscape architecture is a multi-disciplinary profession combining creativity and engineering with a passion for the natural world and designing beautiful spaces. Meet the landscape architects on our team at Southview Design.
