Landscape architects conceptualize landscape designs, develop contract documents and oversee the construction of landscape development for commercial projects, office complexes, parks, golf courses and residential development. They are employed by government environmental and development agencies, landscape consulting firms and by architectural and engineering firms, or they are self-employed.
* A bachelor's degree in landscape architecture is required. * A master's degree in landscape architecture may be required. * In Ontario and British Columbia, landscape architects require a two-year internship and the successful completion of a provincial registration exam. * In the remaining provinces and territories, landscape architects usually require two years of landscape design experience and an interview by their respective provincial associations to receive association certification.
