A landscape architect or designer works with living plants as well as building materials to design for future growth and maintenance as well as the present visual appeal.

Featured Reviews for Landscape Architects and Designers
K&D; Landscape Management
Landscape Architects and Designers
"We hired K&D; in May to perform a makeover of our backyard and our expectations were exceeded! They turned our "all grass" backyard into a paradise!! John is a top-notch designer who really listened to us and our vision, but added elements that we didn't know were possible. Greg, the foreman on our project, and his crew were OUTSTANDING! Very professional and hardworking; even the little things like cleaning up after themselves each day did not go unnoticed. What was most impressive about our experience and what we truly valued most was that John was attentive throughout the project, and from day 1 he followed through with what he said. They started when he said they would, and were here every working day; not once did they not show up. From our initial meeting with John to completion date it was an absolute enjoyable experience, and we look forward to hiring them for future projects!! Wish I could've attached more pics; the evening lighting is breathtaking."

Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design

"I have had the pleasure of working with Micah and his staff at Paradise Restored Landscaping and it has been an incredible experience. Their projects are of the highest quality and it makes me proud to be able to be a small part of their success."

Harold Leidner Landscape Architects
Landscape Architects and Designers
"We at Southwest Fence & Deck, Inc and have worked with Harold Leidner for more than twenty years. Harold is a man of integrity who has surrounded himself with some really great people. Together, they have built a solid company with a solid reputation for design, installation, managing their surrounding subcontractors, and most importantly, making sure that the customer gets the final product or better that they were sold. I am always amazed at the attention to detail that Harold commits to his designs, and also expects from his entire team including subcontractors. They have mastered the art of managing their jobs through constant communication, providing customers and contractors with a clear desired schedule, and over-seeing every step of the project until it is complete. He is very hands-on through every phase of his projects and the end result is stunning. No stone unturned. We wish them nothing but the best, they deserve it. Jamie Turrentine and John McReynolds"

Craig Reynolds Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architects and Designers
"I have used Craig for a project in 2014 and again in 2015. I wouldn't use anyone else! He has the ability to understand exactly what you're trying to create outside and make it come to life! He is one of the most professional businesses we have ever worked with. He is a pleasure to deal with, timely (answers calls within hours), provides plans that are detailed yet easy to understand and has a keen eye for what will work!"

J. Montgomery Designs
Landscape Architects and Designers
"JMLA provided a conceptual design and construction documents for our backyard remodel project. We chose JMLA because we heard they were the best in the business and they exceeded our expectations. John listens, provides great ideas and is extremely detailed in his plans. Cynthia is realistic and conscious of your budget. The entire staff was pleasant, professional, and responsive. We are pleased with the design, just broke ground on the project, and can't wait to see it finished!"

Alderwood Landscape Architecture and Construction
Landscape Architects and Designers
"We did a major project with Alderwood last year. Coming up on the 1 year guarantee for plants that didn't make it. Considering we planted approximately 300 plants the fact that we only lost 10 is truly amazing. Their warranty service is fast and efficient. Emailed them and within 2 days they were here to review plants and make replacement list. Scheduled to come by and install next week! Amazing warranty service."

Ginkgo Leaf Studio
Landscape Architects and Designers
"Jim and Kerry at Ginkgo did a great job in designing our entire landscape. We didn't want the cookie-cutter project, at all. We also wanted some things that we know would be tough to incorporate--mainly, a swimming pool. Tough to build a pool into a "American Natural" landscape plan. We learned throughout the process that landscape design is an art...Ginkgo proved to be master artists. If there were a 6-star rating, Ginkgo would be deserving. Highly recommend."

Prideaux Design
Landscape Architects and Designers
"Kathryn Prideaux brings modern, pretty design with WOW to every project I've seen her complete. For my clientele I can't recommend someone more. She really gets midcentury modern design aesthetics when sourcing new or vintage pieces and finishes to complete a client's home. I will forever trust her sensibilities that result in remodels that fit perfectly within the space you have without sacrifice by better utilization of the space available. It's hard to choose, but my favorite project she did was kitchen and hall bath redesign in the Birtch House in Skyline Bel Air that we included on the Tucson Modernism Week home tour in 2014."
- Michelle Hotchkiss RE/MAX Results
Garden Studio
Landscape Architects and Designers
"After interviewing many different landscape architects for our project, we decided on Garden Studio, and we are extremely pleased that we did. We found Eric and Chris (think they are the owners) to be very responsive and their ideas unique. They took the time to understand our goals, and presented multiple options (including, the pros and cons of each) before we decided on the final design. We were further impressed with the professionalism of their crew who, before leaving at the end of each day, cleaned up after themselves. I cannot recommend this company enough."
- Mellisa Hovard
Envision Landscape Studio
Landscape Architects and Designers
"I hired Colin Miller to build a carport and privacy fence in my front yard. He was great to work with. I only had to meet with him one time before each phase of work because he just "got it". Not only did he understand and share my vision for the project, but he exceeded my expectations! Both the carport and fence look perfect. (even my neighbors complimented me on how great they look) The project was done in a timely fashion and on budget. I will hire Colin again for my next project."

What does a landscape architect do?


The work of this outdoor professional includes most everything surrounding a home's exterior. A landscaping architect can even work with the home architect to choose the right spot for your house. From there the landscaper will develop preliminary concepts for your front or backyard design based on individual needs including the climate and activities that will take place, as well as layouts and planting plans. Landscape architects will also design any structures or outbuildings that will be added to the space. Any grading changes that will be added to the yard are also the responsibility of the architect. This includes any drainage modifications. An engineer can also be responsible for these tasks, but licensed landscapers are fully capable. Like building architects, they will produce preliminary concept drawings as well as detailed construction documents and planting plans. Three-dimensional renderings and illustrative plans are all supplementary.

What does a landscape designer do?


A landscaping designer generally will have ecological, aesthetic and technical training, which helps them maximize the potential of your outdoor space. Keeping in mind both style and functionality, garden designers analyze your architecture and yard to produce a plan that may or may not include location and materials for walkways, patios, water features, fences, garden aspects and more. In addition, a landscaper will carefully assess your geographic region to choose plants, trees and flowers that will flourish naturally, as well as address concerns such as drainage, screening and soil conditions. Certain landscape designers only help with the planning portion, while some may deliver the plans and then oversee a hired landscaping contractor. Others — typically following a design-build approach — take care of both the design and all aspects of the landscape architecture and construction.

Before you hire a professional landscaper, consider the scope and emphasis of your outdoor project. Landscape architects, who typically hold advanced degrees in their field, are trained to develop comprehensive structural plans that include plants, hardscaping, water use, drainage and more. Landscape designers typically specialize in the aesthetic and horticultural, rather than structural, side of yard and garden planning. They might or might not have advanced training. Even within their fields, a garden designer may specialize in hardscape- or vegetation-focused designs. In some cases you might need to hire additional help to get the outdoor space you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape architects & landscape designers: Landscape Contractors, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Tree Services, Gardeners, Lawn Care & Sprinklers, Decks, Patios & Outdoor Enclosures.

Questions to ask prospective landscapers:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • How long have you been in the landscaping business?
  • What is your certification?
  • Do you have liability insurance?
  • How much do you charge, and what does that include?
  • What regions and climates are you skilled in?
  • Can you accommodate my special requests (such as ADA or LEED)?
  • What types of renderings will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can you complete this project?
  • What do your services include?
  • Who will be working on the project design?
  • What happens when costs exceed budget, whether due to materials or labor pricing changes? What about changes made by the client or by the professionals — what kinds of situations would cause those costs to be incurred?
  • Can you provide me with a written estimate?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns that you know of or that might come up in the future with this project?
