Question : What degree is needed for landscape architect?

Answer : The landscape architects I know don't have any academic degree requirements. It has been my experience that a culturally-aware working knowledge of ecology and the natural sciences is an inherent requirement for doing landscape architecture. This ranges from understanding botanical properties of native plant communities, to interpreting soil patterns and slope gradients (and how they affect engineering), to understanding hydrology in order to make better water resource management decisions. The stories behind the sites we work on involve people, plants, animals as well as geology- its critical that this history be protected and restored when possible.

Question : How do I landscape my front yard?

Answer : The quickest way to solve your problem is choose landscape design that complements the facade of your home and your adjacent buildings. This will tie everything together with aesthetically pleasing results without a huge expenditure of time or money. For more specific advice, I recommend talking to an interior designer about what types of plants fit within the color palette you're striving for. It sounds as if you are living in a subdivision-type setting where fences separate yards from one another so personal preference in landscaping gardens may not be possible. You can supplement this by cultural gardening on the property.

Question : Is interior design school hard?

Answer : It is not hard, per se. but it is time-consuming and challenging.
Interior design school will teach you about color theory, space planning, materials and finishes, lighting, and more. It can be a lot of information to take in at once, but with hard work and dedication, you will be able to succeed.

One of the most challenging aspects of interior design school is the portfolio requirement. You will need to compile a portfolio of your best work to show your professors and potential employers. This can be daunting, but with careful planning and execution, you will be able to create a portfolio that showcases your talent and skills.

Good luck!

Question : Where to find a landscape designer?

Another option would be to contact your local gardening or landscaping company and ask for a referral. Finally, you could check with your state's licensing board to find designers who are licensed in your area.

Question : Do landscape architects design pools?

Answer : In general, landscape architects don't design pools, but they may provide guidance on where a pool could be placed and how it could be integrated into the surrounding landscaping.

A pool is usually considered a structural element and would be designed by a civil or structural engineer. However, as with any structure, there may be elements of the pool that are related to the landscape, such as paving around the edge of the pool, plants and hardscaping around the pool, etc., that would be designed by a landscape architect.

Question : What do landscape designers do?
