Landscape Architecture

What is Landscape Architecture?

Landscape architecture is a methodology through which an owner's program, or intended use and requirements for a space, is refined in accordance with the unique circumstances governing each project. The concurrent development of interconnected program elements is fostered through the architectural process where drawings, drafted in a universal language, are created for use by other consultants, and for permitting and construction.

When Do You Need a Landscape Architect?

Projects involving complex programs on challenging sites in regulated areas require landscape architects for design, permitting, and construction. Examples of regulated areas include wetlands, coastlines, and steep slopes. Overlapping zoning constraints like building setbacks, easements, coverage allowances, and stormwater management requirements may further trigger the need for a landscape architect. Any project that requires approvals from regulatory agencies necessitates the involvement of a landscape architect or similar design professional such as an architect or engineer.

When a Landscape Architect Is Needed

Some projects require the involvement of a licensed landscape architect, particularly when they involve environmental regulations or complex site conditions.
Examples include:

  • Properties near wetlands or coastlines
  • Sites with steep slopes or drainage challenges
  • Projects requiring stormwater management planning
  • Work involving zoning restrictions, easements, or setbacks
  • Projects that require regulatory or municipal approvals

In these situations, a landscape architect ensures the design meets all requirements while still achieving the homeowner’s goals.
