Landscape architects plan and design land areas for parks, recreational facilities, private homes, campuses, and other open spaces.
Work Environment
Landscape architects spend much of their time in offices, creating plans and designs, preparing models and cost estimates, doing research, and attending meetings with clients and workers involved in designing or planning a project. They spend the rest of their worktime at jobsites.
How to Become a Landscape Architect
Most states require landscape architects to be licensed. Licensing requirements vary by state, but usually include a degree in landscape architecture from an accredited school, internship experience, and passing the Landscape Architect Registration Exam.
Pay
The median annual wage for landscape architects was $64,180 in May 2012.
Job Outlook
Employment of landscape architects is projected to grow 14 percent from 2012 to 2022, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Planning and development of new commercial, industrial, and residential construction projects and redevelopment of existing landscapes will drive employment growth.
