4 Types Of Landscapers
Landscape Architect
Landscape architects are trained in creative and technical skills to design grading, irrigation systems, the layout of driveways, walks, and other hardscape features. Their tasks also include construction details and planting plans. The landscape architect can work for an established design-build company and see the project through to completion, or they can perform solely as a designer and adviser.
Landscape Designer
Landscape designers are as diverse as landscape architects. Some are only ready to create perennial gardens, while others are “unregistered,” with numerous in-betweens. Many landscape designers have degrees in architecture, art, or ornamental horticulture. Most landscape architects are plant experts who can lay out walks, driveways, patios, and necessary drainage. While some strongly emphasize design, others pay on commission. Many garden stores and landscaping companies employ landscape designers. The skills of a landscape designer can vary depending on their background, education, and experience. It is usually best to visit previous projects and, if possible, contact references.
Landscape Contractor
A landscape contractor installs the design. On occasion, specifications for a plan that a contractor will install by an architect or designer. A design-build company will provide the project’s installation strategy, resources, and expertise. Installing hardscape patios, native plant restoration, landscape lighting, container gardens, garden beds, and other features is a specialty of several businesses.
Landscape Firm
A “landscape-design-build firm” is a company that employs landscape architects and designers. You install the designs you develop with your clients. It is a commercial enterprise that carries out the construction, installation, and upkeep of gardens, patios, bushes, trees, and other related outside spaces that belong to your clients.
