Landscape Architecture is a profession concerned with both the built and natural environments. Landscape architects have a firm commitment to improve the quality of both environments through careful planning and design.

In the past, landscape architects were known as designers of gardens and parks. Today landscape architects are continuing this tradition, but have also expanded the field to include planning, design and management of several aspects of the physical environment. They are also specialists in site planning, which require the expertise of an architect and also detailed technical knowledge of soils, structures and services.
