They are a great very short term solution. Especially if you plant a tree in the hottest part of the year. Otherwise they feel really gimmicky.

Mulch and turf I can see working without edging, but rock could be a nightmare without edging.

Jordan Lockman replied to the topic Disc Golf Course Design Thesis in the forum RESEARCH 10 years, 10 months ago
Fun. I have really enjoyed playing disc. We played a lot in college, way cheaper than actual golf and less to get frustrated with, unless you throw a $20 disc into the Red River in Fargo. Not cool. I even had a period playing with my kids being little, willing to stay in stroller was the key. When they got older it was hard to keep them into the…[Read more]

Jordan Lockman replied to the topic How does a recent graduate get that first job? in the forum PORTFOLIO & RESUME 10 years, 11 months ago
It never hurts to think outside the box for networking. You don’t just want to meet other Landscape Architects. You want to meet potential future clients, other professionals(Archs., Engineers, Nurseryman, etc), and people involved in the building industry. You would be amazed how sometimes these contacts can be just as fruitful in a job hunt than…[Read more]

Another option if you have no relevant experience is to cast a wider net. Look at jobs that will build skills that you can ultimately use as an LA.
Examples would be:
1. CAD tech positions in any field.
2. Landscape/Design Build.
3. Nurseryman jobs.
4. Graphic design/presentation.
5. Construction(landscape, concrete, etc.)
There are other options,…[Read more] -

Jordan Lockman replied to the topic Can you give me a realistic picture of being a landscape architect? in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 11 years, 4 months ago
I would suggest calling/emailing some local Landscape Architects or getting in touch with the local ASLA group. Then asking if you can visit their office to look at projects, possibly work shadow for part of a day, see what the day to day work is like, office culture, pay rates to expect, job security, travel demands, etc. You may learn some…[Read more]

Jordan Lockman replied to the topic AutoDesk Revit Architecture…for landscape architects ? ? ? in the forum TECHNOLOGY 11 years, 5 months ago
We have been using Revit for about 5 years as a office. We are primarily an Architecture Office with 2 LA’s and an Interior Designer. Overall, I have found Revit to work better than Microstation, that we were using and sometimes still use. Revit is amazing for buildings and okay for landscapes.
Site Modeling/Rendering – It is really cumbersome and…[Read more] -
Jordan Lockman replied to the topic Home and Cottage Show – Landscape Design/Build – help? in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 11 years, 5 months ago
A prize wheel is always a good ice breaker. Something interactive that gets people to stop at your booth always helps. You don’t want to be too gimmicky, but something that will catch peoples attention.

Jordan Lockman replied to the topic Greenroof Turfgrass in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 11 years, 8 months ago
We have used the Live Roof Trays before and are quite happy with them. Have not tried turf however. The live roof trays work really well on smaller roofs where you just want an easy system installed and are more for looks. On bigger roofs with more active use it is nice to have a little more flexibility that you can get with an intensive green roof system.

Jordan Lockman replied to the topic Retaining Walls, Grading in New Mexico in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 11 years, 8 months ago
I would call your local zoning or building permit official, usually with a city or county. They are the ones that you would need to get permits from so they will know the local requirements.
