Landscape Architects and Designers plan landscapes. Working with property owners, they create the objectives to accomplish and define problems that need to be solved. Commercial property owners and managers have a lot to think about when it comes to how the exterior of their property looks. They have to think about the type of spaces they have, how they want them to be used, and what they want them to look like. They also need to consider how much maintenance and upkeep will be required to keep the spaces looking their best. The answers become the goals of the project. Designers often have to create functional spaces that are also beautiful. This goes beyond plant selection. It carries over into finding landscape elements that have a purpose but also beautify the surroundings.
