Description
You have every right to ask the question "who are you and what qualifies you to write articles and tutorials on landscape and irrigation?" After all, just about anyone can create a web-page on any subject, whether they know anything about it or not. So here are my "credentials" and a bit of personal information for those who are just plain curious!
I'm a registered landscape architect in the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada. Now that I've said that I am required by law to tell you "Arizona registration #32410, California registration #2743, and Nevada registration #443." In addition I do a lot of work in Colorado, but they don't register their landscape architects.
Well, there is a lot of confusion among the general public on this. In most of the U.S.A. a landscape architect is someone with at least 6 years of experience in landscape architecture who has taken and passed a very tough national licensing exam (40 hours of tests over 3 days). Basically what an architect is to a building, the landscape architect is to everything outside of the building. We design the landscape, which is a lot more than just plants (although plants are a big part of what we do!) Landscape architects design the shape of the land (grading contours), and the layout of site features such as sidewalks, patios, ponds, fountains, and yes, even the building locations. We design irrigation systems, decks, lighting systems, landscape structures (like gazebos), and erosion control systems for slopes. In short, landscape architects are trained to design just about anything related to the outdoors, from a shopping center site, to a campground, to the restoration of a toxic waste site. In fact, the largest employer of landscape architects in the world is the U.S. National Park Service.
