Landscape architecture is a creative practice that incorporates the planning and design of outdoor spaces and public areas of varying scales. Landscape architecture integrates both the needs of people and the environment, and aims to promote strong urban design, environmental resource management, and ecological sensitivity.
A landscape architect is a trained professional that provides a range of service including research, analysis, design, planning, budgeting, and consultation. Landscape architects prepare drawings and construction documents, develop policy and provide contract administration.
