"they had the lowest bid. i have several rental properties and i usually do not hire the cheapest. but this time they are the cheapest and best available based on experience and references. i broke my big post holding the s second floor, so there is no room for mistakes. they finished the siding for no additional cost. They also used the best and most expensive wood, which is included in the price, which is the redwood-we did not even talked about it-- i was so impressed with their work i voluntarily added $30 to their charge. They basically do everything, so will be my permanent contractor"

Conclusion
A landscape architect is often confused with a landscape designer, but there are differences between the two. While both are involved in designing landscapes and gardens, a landscape architect is also trained in handling challenging issues like steep slopes, irrigation and drainage, elevation problems, retaining walls, driveways, service lines, and entryways. Landscape architects are required to be licensed and hold undergraduate or higher degrees and often plan areas other than residential spaces including parks, waterfront developments, and commercial facilities.
