Gardener Members
Landscape Gardeners are involved with the design, planning and maintenance; but usually only involving the plants in the space. Landscape Gardeners will plant, weed, cultivate, replace and harvest the plants. Gardening is an ongoing activity because gardens require tending and specialised care throughout the year.
Landscape gardeners also have knowledge, from experience and education, of several natural processes including soil ecology, climates, plant physiology, water drainage, and pest infestations.
Landscape Designers
Professional landscape designers offer a broad range of planning and design services tailored to a spectrum of client needs. By engaging the services of a landscape designer, outstanding design solutions can be developed while avoiding costly mistakes and unnecessary confusion.
REGISTERED LANDSCAPE BUILDERS – RESIDENTIAL
Landscape Builders plan, lay out and construct gardens and outdoor spaces that enhance the appearance and create usable space for outdoor activities around a home. Landscaping incorporates into the space botanical elements such as trees, lawns, shrubbery and other flora, along with hardscapes, such as pathways and paving, furniture, planting beds, water features, decking and fences.
