Landscape Design

Landscape designing is one of the specialized fields of study where students learn how to make the landscape functional, beautiful and compatible with the surrounding environment. The location of buildings, roads, walkways, gardens, even the arrangement of trees, flower-beds, fountains etc is decided by Landscape designer by being aware of the conservation of natural resources and history of the area.

Landscape designers also control urban problems such as pollution and excess traffic. Hence it may even involve regulating traffic movement and redesigning traffic ways. However, a number of excellent landscape designers are self-taught. Armed with excellent gardening skills and some knowledge of horticulture, they proceeded to experiment with small home gardens before venturing out on more ambitious projects. But in such cases, a great deal of trial and error is involved.
