Mimosa trees are terribly invasive as well.

After the interview, did you send a thank you letter?

The last thing I want to do is bash a playground company, but I have first hand experience working with natural playgrounds and would not recommend them for design services or playground equipment. We were asked by the client to put together construction documents at the 11th hour, but were asked to incorporate their equipment. All of the equipment can be designed by a landscape architect and built by a contractor at a more reasonable price and better quality. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about natural playgrounds company.

Some questions to ask yourself before the design process:

age of user group

interactive play/passive play

site safety – get to know playground safety VERY well

I considered going to graduate school for civil or environmental engineering until I found out from several engineers and academic advisers that many states will not allow you to become a PE unless you hold a bachelors degree in engineering first. Also, many masters of civil engineering programs require a bachelor’s degree in engineering to be considered for the program. Financial assistance for graduate degrees are more readily available than a 2nd bachelor’s degree. Just a few things to chew on before considering the LA/PE career path. The LA/PE combination makes the most sense for me with the experience I have had so far in the profession. If you can’t beat em, join em, right?
