A landscape architect is a professional who combines art and science to design outdoor spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sustainable. Their work encompasses a broad range of projects, including residential gardens, public parks, commercial areas, and urban planning.

Landscape architects analyze the natural elements of a site, such as terrain, climate, and vegetation, and consider human elements like traffic flow, safety, and usability. They create comprehensive plans that may include elements like plantings, hardscapes, water features, and lighting, aiming to enhance the beauty, functionality, and environmental sustainability of outdoor spaces. Landscape architects often collaborate with other professionals to bring their designs to life.
