Coleman Senn: Landscape architecture is a degree program offered by many colleges and universities. It IS a legitimate career path. They study different areas than an architect that designs buildings. Many architectural firms have one or several landscape architects on staff. They design the grounds that surround the building, including determining which plantings go where, They are thoroughly familiar with the types of plantings that will grow in different soil types, how tall various trees and shrubs will grow to when mature, as well as being familiar with how different plantings will work together aesthetically. They spend a lot of time in the field compared to structural architects. When working on residential jobs, they may spend a day in the office and 4 in the field. Hope this helps....Show more
Morris Cuomo: A "real" architect designs structures. a landscaper designs plant and tree layouts. Big difference.
Heidi Creselious: Yes, just a differe! nt type. LAs have education and tested licensing requirements just like architects.There are LAs who specialize in different areas. Some more hardscape, some more plant oriented.LAs can design city streetscape, downtown malls or someone's backyard pool.BTW - the average salary for LAs is higher than architects.-Brian...Show more
Marty Tichnell: Technically you do not need to have a degree in architecture to be a landscape architect. Totally different requirements. Most landscape folks have their backgrounds in botany or a related field and use their knowledge of horticulture to produce the desired environmental effects. They do need to have additional knowledge about building structures and such, but it doesn't require the complexity that is required by a building architect.
Omar Phipps: In the United States it is against the law to call yourself a Landscape Architect without a license (ex: you can't put it on your business card without a license). Those withou! t a license are just landscape designers. http://www.asla.org/! uploadedFiles/CMS/Government_A...
Dee Depung: Everyone needs to live in a great house with fashionable and special framework and if you are one of those folks and you have the area and time to do your own landscaping why don’t you make your ideal work with a whole lot of aid from right here https://tr.im/UFexS , the guidebook from Ideas 4 Landscaping.This 1 stop database of over 7000 substantial resolution photos and ideas was designed by Helen Whitfield, a landscaping extraordinaire, educator, with in excess of twenty years encounter developing AWARD-WINNING landscapes and becoming featured in numerous magazines and publications, she envisions this collection as a design package appropriate for newcomers...Show more
Lourie Mcroberts: I think they are. I mean I've heard of this as a legitimate occupation, not just a euphemism. Maybe your girl's guy is just really passionate about his job. He likes being involved and getting down and dirty. It probably cuts cos! ts, too, if he is on board w/ the physical labor, as it reduces the need for another set of hands. I am just speculating though, so don't take this as a definitively correct answer.
Jeff Frizzell: Yes, Landscape Architects are real architects. They have to go through architectural degrees along with horticultural degrees. LA's must know codes, they must know grades, drainages, and they must be licensed.
Toby Caswell: I'd rather live in a cave as a hobbit!
Raven Purl: it looks good on his business card. he is just a landscaper but it sells so he uses it.
