One of the most diversified of the design professions, Landscape Architecture applies artistic and scientific principles to the planning, design, and management of natural and constructed environments.
Landscape architects work closely with developers, architects, civil engineers and municipal authorities to create attractive and functional landscapes, such as parks and recreational areas, walkways, residential and commercial estate common areas, and municipal greenways.
Specific tasks range from site planning, estate development, environmental preservation and restoration, to town planning, design of both soft and hard landscaping materials, and the selection of plants best-suited to a site’s soil and water conditions.
Landscape architects add value to the professional team with their holistic approach to designing places that help to bring a balance between the requirements of people living in urban and rural environments and the natural environment that sustains these settlements.
