Differences Between the Architect and the Designer
Landscape designers and landscape architects do have a lot of crossovers in their work, but there are important differences that will dictate which one you use for your project. Landscape designers primarily work on residential projects and deal more with the aesthetics of a property along with the choice of plants and where they are positioned on the property. While this might sound like a low position, it really isn’t, and landscape architects typically start as landscape designers.
Landscape architects, by contrast, have the ability to work on a larger range of projects. You might be consulted on a commercial property, public parks, as well as urban spaces as well as residential projects. An important aspect to being a landscape architect is site planning where you are taking into consideration multiple strategies for efficient use of the land.
