WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND A REPUTABLE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT OR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER?
The best way to find a reputable Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer is to ask friends who have recently purchased new homes for recommendations. Once you have a list of Landscape Architects and Landscape Designers, conduct interviews with each candidate and ask to review examples of their completed work. Finally, ensure your Landscape Architect is licensed with the state in which your project is located.
DO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS HAVE TO BE LICENSED?

WHAT ARE COMMON SERVICES PROVIDED BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS?
Landscape Architects provide a variety of services, including but not limited to: hardscape design, garden design, site design and master planning, irrigation and water management, outdoor lighting and kitchen design, pool and spa design and seasonal maintenance. It is not uncommon for Landscape Architects to subcontract Landscape Designers to implement their designs.
