FAQ

Landscape architects provide many types of services related to how people will experience an outdoor space and the function of that space. For example, the landscape architecture portion of the project typically has a large emphasis on making the outdoor environment beautiful while still being functional. Part of site planning is laying out how elements in an outdoor space will interact with one another. Other service categories would include Community Planning where landscape architects will work with local governments to create plans for developing parks, public spaces, and streetscapes that are user-friendly and environmentally sustainable. Some Landscape Architects offer more urban planning services and consider how land uses and infrastructure work together to create an entire city or urban area. The focus of Damon Farber Associates, as an example, is to clarify the relationship between a site and the landscape around it, making sure that each project created is not only functional but also visually appealing and ecologically sound.

Each landscape designer can provide landscape design services to a variety of geographic areas depending upon how and where they are able to perform these services. Typically landscape architects can provide services to urban, suburban, and rural areas, which they adapt based upon each type of environment. Damon Farber Associates focuses primarily on the Upper Midwest as this enables them to take advantage of their background knowledge regarding climate conditions, native plant species and local community needs when designing. This expertise at the regional level allows for a more successful and environmentally responsible project due to elements of sustainable design that provide not only an attractive project, but also a project that will create opportunities for easy maintenance while having minimal impact on the natural environment. Concentrating on certain regions of the country also allows landscape designers to provide designs that are culturally relevant and contextually appropriate while maximizing their impact upon the ecology of the area designed.

Landscape architects price their projects depending on a variety of factors including size and complexity, design details, etc. Before working with a client, landscape architects will assess the project based upon both a site assessment and an understanding of client expectations. When doing this assessment, they will evaluate the project location, size, number of materials needed, and any unique items requested by the client. Damon Farber Associates strives to be as open as possible in the pricing of each landscape architectural project they work on. Therefore they will provide clients with an itemized list of the various costs associated with each step of the landscape design process. After an initial consultation, a detailed proposal will usually be sent out describing in detail what the landscape architect intends to create and what the costs will be for each item in the proposal so that the client knows what to expect financially before any work begins.

Qualifications and experience must be considered when searching for a landscape architect, as they will help determine if you are selecting a qualified individual. Most landscape architects hold degrees from accredited institutions in the field, which would indicate formal training in design principles and horticulture (as well as environmental science). Also, you may need to confirm that the individual holds certification or licensure by the regulatory agency within your state to show they are considered experts in their area of work and have adhered to the required standards set by the profession. Furthermore, when hiring for a specific project type (for example, Urban Planning or Community Spaces), the architect you select should have significant experience with that project type to ensure they have extensive knowledge in successfully completing your project. Therefore, you should also review the architect's portfolio of previous projects to determine if his/her design style matches yours and whether he/she has been able to meet the design expectations of previous clients.

Working with a landscape architect typically occurs in a series of stages. At the first stage, the client and architect have an introductory consultation about the client's vision, goals, and budget. The second phase of this process involves the landscape architect conducting a site assessment to identify what is currently on the property, including any limitations. After assessing the property, conceptual designs are prepared. These are created to show the client how various options can be represented in either a sketch form or as a three-dimensional diagram or rendering. The designs will be adjusted based upon the client's input after a period of discussion regarding their preferred options. Construction documents are subsequently created, which provide detailed drawings and specifications for use by the contractor during the construction phase. Throughout each stage of this process, both the landscape architect and client communicate frequently and collaboratively to achieve a final result that is satisfactory to both parties. For instance, Damon Farber Associates places great emphasis on producing responsive, innovative design solutions that are not only functional but will also enhance the quality of the surrounding environment.
