Green Yard Gardeners landscape architects are employed to plan, design and project manage for public and private spaces such as single and multi residential areas, public parks, playgrounds, university and government campuses, shopping centers, golf courses, waterways, public gardens, roads and highways and industrial parks. Other areas of work include visual impact assessment, expert witness, natural and resource management, parks and wildlife, urban regeneration, townscapes and streetscapes.
Landscape Architecture is an important career because it helps make the world more livable, protect the environment and has a focus on creativity and design.
We design attractive and functional public parks, gardens, playgrounds, residential areas, college campuses, and public spaces. We also plan the locations of buildings, roads, walkways, flowers, shrubs, and trees within these environments. Landscape architects design these areas so that they are not only easy to use but also harmonious with the natural environment.
Duties of our Landscape Architects.
• Meet with clients, engineers, and building architects to understand the requirements of a project.
• Prepare site plans, specifications, and cost estimates
• Coordinate the arrangement of existing and proposed land features and structures.
• Prepare graphic representations of plans using computer-aided design and drafting (Landscaping) software.
• Select appropriate landscaping materials.
• Analyze environmental reports on land conditions, such as drainage and energy usage.
• Inspect landscape project progress to ensure that it adheres to plans.
• Seek new work through marketing activities or by giving presentations
Our Landscape team Skills
Analytical skills. Landscape architects must understand the content of designs. When designing a building's drainage system, for example, landscape architects must understand the interaction between the building and the surrounding land.
Communication skills. Landscape architects share their ideas, both orally and in writing, with clients, other architects, and workers who help prepare drawings. Effective communication is essential to ensuring that the vision for a project gets translated into reality.
Creativity. Landscape architects create the overall look of gardens, parks, and other outdoor areas. Their designs should be both pleasing to the eye and functional.
Problem-solving skills. When designing outdoor spaces, landscape architects must be able to provide solutions to unanticipated challenges. These solutions often involve looking at challenges from different perspectives and providing the best recommendations.
Technical skills. Landscape architects use computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) programs to create representations of their projects. Some also must use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for their designs.
Visualization skills. Landscape architects must be able to imagine how an overall outdoor space will look once completed.
