Landscape Architecture
A New York licensed landscape architect provides services related to the development of land areas. This includes preparing drawings and specifications in conformance with governing codes and regulations to ensure that land use, plant materials, grading, drainage, and the location and settings for structures and other improvements are appropriate.
Many municipalities require a landscape architect to place a seal on portions of land use plans submitted for approval.
You might retain a landscape architect to provide the following:
- Advice on development of a parcel of land, whether for residential, commercial or institutional/public use, including preservation and conservation projects
- Plans for site improvements around new or existing residential or commercial structures
- Environmental impact statements and the processing of zoning and planning applications through government agencies
- Designs for parks, public spaces and recreational facilities
- Neighborhood, community, or regional land use plans
