WHAT IS THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS (ASLA)?

Established in 1899, the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is the premier trade association for Landscape Architects throughout the United States.

WHAT ARE COMMON SERVICES PROVIDED BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS?

Landscape Architects and Landscape Designers 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. For those building a custom home, consider hiring a landscape architect to consult with your architect and builder early on in the process.

DO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS IN MARYLAND HAVE TO BE LICENSED?

Yes. All Landscape Architects in Maryland must be licensed with the Maryland Board of Examiners of Landscape Architects, which is managed by the Maryland Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER?

According to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), the primary difference between Landscape Architects and Landscape Designers comes down to level of education, licensing, and scope of work. As opposed to Landscape Designers, Landscape Architects are required to have a graduate or undergraduate degree in Landscape Architecture and hold an active license in the jurisdiction in which they practice. Further, Landscape Designers are unable to work on projects that require construction, grading, or specific technical knowledge like stormwater management or native planting management that could have significant environmental impact.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO FIND A GOOD LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT OR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER IN MARYLAND?

The best way to find a reputable Landscape Architect or Landscape Architect in Maryland is to ask friends who have recently completed a project with a Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer. Once you have a list of recommended Landscape Architects, conduct interviews with each candidate and ask to review an example of their recent work. Finally, ensure your Landscape Architect is registered with the Maryland Board of Examiners of Landscape Architects.
