A professional person who plans, designs, and builds spaces that tend to complement and work with the surrounding natural environment. These places can be inside or outside, though landscape architects are usually recognized for their creative, beautiful, and functional outdoor spaces. Every landscape architect is different, too – each can have specialties in areas like stormwater management, native planting, construction detail development, green infrastructure, site adaptation, and reuse, recreation and trail design, teaching, research, master planning, ordinance preparation, and much more.
