Your landscape architect – garden architect

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Landscape and garden architect is a job title for qualified engineers with a technical college or university degree in the field of garden and landscape architecture.

At the various German universities, the terms land maintenance or landscape and open space planning are also used for the corresponding courses. In the meantime, there is also the possibility in Germany of graduate degrees such as Bachelor or Master of Landscape Architecture.

In Germany, only registered members of the Chamber of Architects are allowed to use the designation “landscape architect”. The prerequisite for entry in the list of architects kept by the Chamber of Architects is – in addition to proof of a relevant university degree – at least three years of activity under the guidance of a landscape architect (garden architect) as well as proof of independently processed planning services.

Up until a few years ago it was still common practice to complete an apprenticeship as a gardener (usually in gardening and landscaping, tree nurseries or shrub growing) instead of doing an internship, which is still recommended today by professional practitioners.

Landscape architects can be freelance, employed or civil servants in administrations or organizations. The clients of freelance landscape and garden architects are various authorities and organizations or private individuals.

Range of activities

The landscape and garden architect deals with the design of the landscape or the open spaces inside and outside the cities, villages and communities. To this end, he creates various plans and accompanies their practical implementation, for example as a site manager. Thematically, the spectrum ranges from purely creative to ecological issues.
