Landscape Designer

 
Background
Landscape designers plan and create outdoor spaces like gardens, parks, and public areas. They use design skills, knowledge of plants and materials, and computer software to draw up plans that are both beautiful and practical. They work with clients to understand what they want, then develop designs that consider the environment, budget, and how people will use the space.
