Where have all the Landscape Architects gone?
For over six years and untold
number of (wanta-be-landscape-designers) have caused me to wonder if there are
real, honest to goodness Landscape Architects exist in the National Capitol
Region.
One, who really is one with
nature, understands the surrounding environment, drainage concerns, what
products really work well in the area, designing a plan that is in harmony with
God creatures.
I should have known something
was amiss when it took four different land and landscaping companies near six
years to get my lawn looking green and healthy.
There are plants, flowers and trees that have been planted in both sunny,
partial sun and shade areas dying.
Having a garden and yard that is
bird, butterfly, bee, and other critter friendly – has been one of the long
poles in the tent from the start. Helping
our outside friends through all the seasons.
This is 2013 and all of the
folks that I have interviewed over this time period simply do not want to use the
automated tools available for their design efforts. Why?
- Making changes becomes a chore
- Depicting growth impacts on your landscape drawing is nearly impossible without different layers
- Maintenance by the owner and understanding basic of those improvement to the property are challenging
- And the list goes on and on
Is there someone out there up to the
challenge of developing a master plan and help implement that plan into
something that all parties can be proud of and invite others to learn from this
adventure?
Have you found a good landscape architect/designer that has
satisfied your needs?
