Learn the art and the science of landscape design through our Landscape Design Programs. These courses show you how to identify the elements of the 'outdoor room', draw out and present your ideas, and blend flowers, trees, shrubs and ground covers into harmonious, functional designs. You'll study balance, simplicity, proportion, unity, lighting and techniques for integrating walls, walkways and terraces. And you'll learn how to specify and calculate materials, prepare bids and more.
Landscape designers have the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors while enhancing the beauty of nature. Their work is filled with variety - every project has its own challenges. Responsibilities may include:
- Meeting clients
- Evaluating a site's natural features
- Drawing plans
- Selecting plants
- Working with crews and suppliers
- Budgeting materials
- Planning hardscapes
- Supervising installation
