I do see how this in “real life” scenarios makes sense.  I ask for organization purposes.  I am new to the profession. (2 weeks in) and was just wondering if there is a faster and efficient way to do this.  But I do understand your point.  Thank you!

Hello all,
I was wandering if there is an easier way to place plants in a given (irregular) area, and have them spaced evenly apart. For example i have a given plant material that needs to be 15″ on center.  I usually set an array path and let it follow each outside edge but this still is imperfect and requires alot of adjusting to get the plants…[Read more]

My employers were more often straining to find work than overworking us, so sometimes late pay was the condition. I also should have said I worked on campus projects, (not whole master plans) and the best projects came up while working for multi-disciplinary firms, not small solely-LA offices. But in that “big” realm expect to be one of the first…[Read more]

I have details, date, written documentation from CLARB and my state Board, undeniable facts, that are scary. The salaries are true. But there is more… These people rotate business like the revolving door at the Saint Regis. I need more support. If you believe in transparency and accountability for non-profit organizations, please tell others.…[Read more]

A realistic entry-mid level LA is a lot of overtime, some sleepless nights, burning out, and some feeling of being a worthless tool. Oh and several years of eating rice and beans because you have to pay off your student loan debt.
Good luck.

I had a book of inspirational gardens I kept by my side my first year of college at a school of liberal arts that I had to stay in while arranging for a transfer (because I became aware of the field my senior year in high school, too late to go where I should have in the first place). I also dreamed of designing public gardens.

In looking back…[Read more]

Sections C,D&E alone cost me roughly $5000. I passed some on the first try. Never passed D. CLARB took my money and my credit. Told me there are 99 people in my exact same position. That’s an estimated $495,000 dollars. Doesn’t even include people who only passed one Section.

CLARB is a scam.  They will rip you off for thousands and keep the carrot from you.  CLARB looses money when you pass.  CLARB changing the rules during mid stream is unfair and wrong. 

gold mine, thanks

Changes made = a modified format from A,B,C,D,E to 1,2,3,4. Same material, but 4 sections. If you find it hard to believe CLARB took credit, believe it, because it happened. No grandfather, no refund. CLARB claims the sent out Twitter, Facebook, email and USPS notices. They claim to have sent this information out over 1 years time. The problem…[Read more]

What are the changes? I find it hard to believe they can take any credit away for previously passed sections as they would have happened before the change and should be “grandfathered” in. What kind of a notice was sent out? Does the state you’re in have a Board of Architects (might be part of the Board of Ed as it is in some states) Or Office of…[Read more]

I’ve been looking more closely at programs and have replaced Toronto and RISD with LSU and UGa on the list. Do you know about your program’s network strength or alum base in the Northeast?

Although not online I learned a great deal from the book ” Spanish Phrases for Landscaping Professionals” by Jason Holben and Dominic Arbini. 
Goes through sections like hiring, safety, planting, building, and maintenance. 
I then used the Before You Know it Software for the iPhone. 

Thank you.

Cool! I’m guessing there is a field of mint nearby?

Have you looked into Louisiana State University. I am currently a 4th year undergrad and have loved it here. Our programs both undergrad and grad are very well respected and a top 5 program year after year. We have  an extensive amount alumni, and all of our professors come from Cornell, Berkley, GSD, VTech. Travels abroad are also an integral…[Read more]

In that case, you may also want to check out Conway School of Design in Mass… http://www.csld.edu/  Heard many good things about the program.  

Thanks for the response, Robert!
I’ve looked at the DI rankings for MLA schools and certain trends do emerge, like you mentioned. I’m looking for some Land8ers to chime in about their alma maters if those appear on this list and give an insider’s opinion. Things I can’t get from online materials or the schools’ recruiting (read: marketing)…[Read more]

Thanks Andrew,

I am indeed looking for insight from grads of the above schools or people who have some contact with the programs. Are you by any chance familiar with any of them?
I checked out the planetizen link and the LA filter only yields Auburn for some reason. The ASLA schools map is an easy database to navigate,…[Read more]
