How does general landscaping differ from landscape architecture?
We recognize that the terms “general landscaping” and “landscape architecture” might be used interchangeably, but they refer to very distinct aspects of creating outdoor spaces.
General Landscaping
General landscaping focuses on the implementation and maintenance of a garden or outdoor area. This includes:
- Planting: Selecting and planting various types of foliage.
- Hardscaping: Constructing elements like paths, patios, and walls.
- Irrigation: Installing systems to ensure efficient water distribution.
- Maintenance: Regular upkeep to preserve the garden’s aesthetic and health.
Landscapers typically execute the practical aspects of a garden’s design, which may involve following a plan laid out by a landscape architect or working from a more straightforward design provided by the property owner.
Landscape Architecture
Landscape architecture is a more comprehensive and professional field that involves:
- Design Principles: Utilizing architectural and design theory to create cohesive and functional outdoor spaces.
- Site Analysis: Evaluating the land’s characteristics and potential constraints.
- Ecology and Sustainability: Incorporating ecological awareness and sustainable practices into designs.
- Grading and Drainage: Planning the terrain to manage water flow and soil erosion effectively.
- Overall Functionality: Ensuring the space meets the needs of its users in terms of both aesthetics and utility.
Landscape architects are trained professionals, often required to be licensed, who create detailed designs that balance creativity with technical expertise. These designs are then executed by landscapers.
Are digital models of the landscape design included in your services?
Yes, we provide a 3D render as a standard feature with all our designs to help clients visualize the final result.
Will you be able to include the specific plants I have in mind for the design?
Certainly. We will make sure to incorporate your plant choices unless we feel it may not be suitable, in which case we will recommend other options.
