quite general terms, each of which have several subsets and finer distinctions. When looking for a ‘landscaper’ per se, are you looking for a landscape manager, landscape planner or landscape designer?
Landscape designers are typically employed with landscape service and construction companies. Landscape designers and garden designers each design many types of plantings with flowers as well as green spaces. A landscape professional to work on your home project may very well be a landscape or garden designer.
Landscape managers are typically the landscape professionals that have the most knowledge about various plants and plant care, as well as longer term development of the land. Landscape managers work in such areas as estate management, forestry, horticulture, agriculture and nature conservation. If you have a very large home and yard then the landscape professional you end up working with may fit in the category of landscape manager.
Landscape planners concern themselves with landscape planning toward the scenic, location and ecological portions or rural, urban and coastal land use. Their work is largely embodied within policy and strategy surrounding new landscape developments, evaluations and assessments as well as preparation of countryside management programs and plans. This type of landscape professional is not likely to take on a project such as landscaping for a private individual.
Generally speaking, you’ll be able to tell which landscaping companies are appropriate for your project when you look at the various landscapers available in your local yellow pages. For the most part the various ads will present themselves as providing commercial or residential landscaping services, or both. Just make a few calls to get a variety of opinions about your project and go from there. It won’t take long to determine who you will be most comfortable working with and who seems to understand your vision the best.
