Hi all,
I was hoping someone could help explain this architect drawing I have received. It says EGL 77.7 PGL 77.80, does this mean the proposed ground level is 73cm higher that the existing ground level? -

Jordan Felber wrote a new post, Top Differences Between a Landscape Architect and a Landscape Designer 3 years, 11 months ago
There are a few key differences between landscape architects and landscape designers, some of which include education requirements, training, licensing procedures and the types of projects each professional works […]

Conflicting thoughts about this article. Yes, being a landscape designer means you’re not licensed but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are under educated. Commonly in practice, especially in the landscape architecture field here in NYC, landscape designer is the position before landscape architect. You have many landscape designers that are highly educated just not licensed yet. I think what the author describes as a landscape designer is probably a person who is passionate about landscape but has no formal education in the field.

Lucila, this is a great interpretation of the article and I’m glad you recognized the passion aspect of the discipline.

The article is a bit general. In many states, construction ready products are the sole domain of licensed professionals, even in the residential area. That is the case in California. Landscape designers can produce a planting plan, but not a layout plan, or a set of plans. And other states may be similar.
Thanks for trying to sort the difference out, but there are many nuances, and each state has a different nuance!

It’s hard to “be unsure and reluctant to invest so asking for payment and training together” in any profession….medical, engineering, law, etc. when others have done some training first. That’s why I suggested finding a slot where your other horticulture-related experience might be of use. For example, an LA firm may have a botanic or…[Read more]

The difficulty is that it is a profession that at the support staff level could be compared to a trade like plumbing or electric work. There are several industry specific skill sets or knowledge criteria that anyone who has gone through an undergrad program in LA is going to have quite a bit of exposure to. That in itself puts any person who has…[Read more]

Thanks Leslie. Getting experience from “seeing what working LA’s do in a particular office by being around them” is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m not willing to fork out money or commit to any course – be it at a community college or graduate school, until I have a better idea of what it’s like working in the field. This was my approach to…[Read more]

I’ve heard of firms hiring people who were 2- 2 1/2 years into their B.S. but there are a couple of considerations here. 1) No, they wouldn’t likely take the time to train you in the software (others may be more current on this but I am thinking about a parallel in times past when the job applicant usually had basic hand drafting skills). 2) Any…[Read more]

I am a young adult (30,f) considering changing careers and going into LA. I’d appreciate any feedback about the profession and my situation.
I understand I will need to obtain a Master’s degree in the field to become a LA, but in the meantime, as I continue to consider committing to a grad program, I’d like some more exposure to the profession,…[Read more]
