Landscape architecture is the profession committed to the creation of meaningful and vital outdoor places and to the sustainable management of our environment.
“What, then, should the term landscape architecture be taken to mean? It will be understood here to mean the art - or the science, if preferred - of arranging land, together with the spaces and objects upon it, for safe, efficient, healthful, pleasant human use.”
Norman T. Newton, Design on the Land, 1971
Garden design is the art and process of designing creating plans for layout and planting of gardens and landscapes. Most professional garden designers are trained in principles of design and in horticulture, and have an expert knowledge and experience of using plants. Some professional garden designers are also landscape architects, a more formal level of training that usually requires an advanced degree and often a state license.
Site planning refers to the organizational stage of the landscape design process. It involves the organization of land use zoning, access, circulation, privacy, security, shelter, land drainage, and other factors. This is done by arranging the compositional elements of landform, planting, water, buildings and paving and building.
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives.
