What Does a Landscape Architect do?
In short: A Landscape architect designs attractive and functional places within natural & built environments.
For a homeowner looking to design and build an outdoor space or improve the sustainability of their home, a landscape architect is highly recommended. They are well equipped to design an outdoor living space that will not only add value but also extend your living space while allowing you to enjoy all that nature has to offer. Arbors, installed seating, fountains, fire pits/fireplaces, patios, and even outdoor kitchens can create a space that is both inviting and environmentally sustainable. Our on-staff landscape architect is focused on residential design. This consists of single-family homes, but also includes multi-family and retirement communities.
A big advantage of hiring landscape architects is that they’re trained to think about landscapes as systems. They will assess your property’s problem areas as well as possibilities and create a solid plan that addresses both the big picture and exact details of how your landscape will look. They will also help you select the perfect materials, styles, textures, and colors for your landscape project. A professional architect will handle all the details, saving you time and stress. Landscape architects offer expertise from start to finish. Landscape architects will remain involved with the construction and follow through. What the homeowner may consider a long weekend project might actually take weeks.
To sum it up, a landscape architect will deliver a finished project that you will love but also comply with regulations and codes. It will be a special place that you and your family and friends will enjoy for years to come.
