After all the long hours (in school) and a few years of training, then this can be a very rewarding career. You don't have to just be a landscape designer for homes. With the right training and education you will be able to to design resort communities (skiing, golf and recreation), parks for play and people to enjoy including skate parks, baseball and soccer.
The biggest secret most people don't know is that most new development in our country is planned and designed by Landscape Architects. Yes we are the lead designers who usually put the the rest of the team together to help with the engineering and final design of planned communites in this country. If you like diversity, working with the people and the envirionment, are creative and like science - then this is the profession for you! It pays well and there is always room to grow and challenge your mind and interest. If you want to make a positive change to how this nation uses it's resources and sustains the world we live in - then become a Landscape Architect!

A Rewarding Lifestyle
Having practiced landscape architecture for over 25 years, I can assure you that I look forward to my workdays. I work on residential projects, planning new communities, parks, campuses, habitat restoration, and urban environments. There are few professions that allow you to see your visions become reality - a living "space" that you can interact with. Furthermore, your projects evolve with time. The majority of landscape architects are caring and giving individuals who balance user needs, science and art to create safe, functional, and aesthetic environments. We love diversity and there is room for all interested, so come join us.
