Why
use Landscape Architecture?
A landscape architect can greatly enhance the aesthetic and
economic value of a project by combining a thorough understanding
of the site with the needs and desires of the owner to plan
and design dynamic outdoor spaces that work with the natural
terrain. A combination of art and science, landscape architecture
has been employed throughout history to create cities, towns,
plazas, gardens, and landscapes which bring a sense of place
and community as well as environmental sanctuary that is so
vital in maintaining healthy lives.
Landscape architects plan the layout of softscape
(soil, grass, plants, shrubs, trees, etc.) as well as hardscape
(roads, walkways, retaining walls, irrigation pipes, fountains,
pools, spas, sculpture, etc.). |
