A landscape architect designs outdoor spaces, ensuring functionality, aesthetics, and environmental sustainability. They work on a range of projects, from public parks and gardens to urban developments and infrastructure projects, integrating both natural and built environments.
Key tasks include creating design concepts, preparing detailed plans and specifications, managing site assessments, and collaborating with engineers, planners, and clients. They also ensure designs comply with local regulations, environmental guidelines, and sustainability goals.

Many landscape architects hold professional qualifications and are members of organisations like the Landscape Institute (LI).
