Frequently Asked Questions

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 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 IN VIRGINIA?
The best way to find a reputable Landscape Architect in Virginia is to ask friends who have recently purchased new homes for recommendations. Once you have a list of Landscape Architects, conduct interviews with each candidate and ask to review examples of their completed work. Finally, ensure your Landscape Architect is licensed as Landscape Architect in Virginia with the Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers and Landscape Architects, which is supervised by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR).
DO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS IN VIRGINIA HAVE TO BE LICENSED?
Yes. All Landscape Architects in Virginia must be licensed with the Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, Certified Interior Designers and Landscape Architects.
WHAT ARE COMMON SERVICES PROVIDED BY LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS?
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. Landscape Architects can also work in collaboration with Civil Engineers, Architects, and Custom Home Builders to help develop a home site plan that conforms to local building codes.
WHAT IS A LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR?
A Landscape Contractor is a service provider hired or sub-contracted by a Landscape Designer or Landscape Architect to execute the built environment. From bespoke gardens and landscapes to hardscape elements like pools and patios, Landscape Contractors play a pivotal role in bringing schematic designs and conceptual drawings to life under the direction and supervision of a Landscape Architect or Landscape Designer.
