FAQ

Landscape architects (LA) and Landscape Designers (LD) provide numerous services to meet the unique needs of every client's project. These services will generally consist of a variety of site analyses, planning and designing for both Residential and Commercial properties. LA's are capable of creating comprehensive drawings which includes plant selection and placement, hardscape features such as patios/walkways, and water features, along with providing project management services. They are also beginning to incorporate sustainable design practices and methods which will allow for the preservation of water and enhancement of habitat. These professionals can deliver the expertise necessary to bring your project into fruition based on your ideas and based on the uniqueness of your property, whether that is a total landscape renovation or just a redesign of your current garden space.

The majority of Landscape Architects choose one or two areas to specialize and really understand the climatic conditions, plants and regulatory requirements of those geographic areas. This is true for Iowa State University's service area, which focuses on Ames, Iowa and surrounding areas. Being located in a specific service area provides Landscape Architects an opportunity to develop designs that are not only visually attractive but meet the unique performance needs dictated by the environmental conditions of the location. Also, due to the defined service area, Landscape Architects will develop close working relationships with local suppliers and contractors, thereby ensuring the delivery of strong quality materials and workmanship. If you live in or near Ames, you can expect a Landscape Architect to be familiar with the native plants of the area and to have the greatest knowledge of the best sustainable landscaping practices suitable for your region.

When requesting an estimate for a landscape project, you will usually have a consultation with a landscape architect or designer. They will come to your property, review it, listen to your desires and find out how much you want to spend during this initial meeting. Depending on how detailed the landscape plan will be, the designer can give you a ballpark figure on-site or provide a detailed proposal after concluding the initial consultation. The size of the area, project complexity, material selection(s) and if any ancillary facility services like cleaning and maintenance are needed are among the variables that determine what the cost will be. Iowa State University strives to be transparent in all pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for before starting the project. We recommend obtaining multiple estimates from different companies to evaluate the services, prices, and qualifications of all parties involved.

Qualifications and experiences should be your top priority when hiring design professionals. Look for people who have graduated with an accredited degree in landscape architecture. Licensure is also very important since it establishes that landscape architects have fulfilled all educational and professional requirements. An architect’s experience also matters greatly. For example, if you need a residential landscape design for your home in Ames, you want to work with someone who has designed multiple residential landscapes and can give you examples of those designs. Members of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) are also considered to be professionals who are dedicated to continuing their education and keeping current with the best practices in the industry. Although not all ASLA members know how to design sustainable landscapes, Iowa State University graduates are among the top professionals with expertise in both functional design and sustainability.

The first step in creating a landscape project involves a consultation where you will discuss your needs, preferences, and budget with the landscape architect. The landscape architect will then conduct a site analysis to assess existing physical characteristics including soil type, sunlight, and drainage. Once all this information has been gathered, the landscape architect will produce a conceptual design that reflects the goals of your landscape, as well as other relevant functional and aesthetic considerations. You'll then receive this conceptual design for your feedback; subsequent revisions may follow before the final design is approved. Before proceeding with the completion of your landscape, the landscape architect will create detailed plans and specifications that outline all materials and methods of installation. While creating your landscape project, effective communication is crucial to ensuring that both you and the landscape architect understand each other's perspectives; Iowa State University has made it a top priority to keep all clients well informed about their landscape projects and engaged throughout the entire process in order to ensure that the final landscape design truly embodies their vision.
