Landscape architect earns handsomely

The job of a landscape architect is huge and entails huge responsibilities. A person who is generally involved in the planning, design and sometimes oversight of an exterior landscape or space is called a landscape architect and his professional practice is known as landscape architecture. It is also true that owing to ignorance and as this is a relatively recent profession in terms of licensing, even landscape gardeners, landscape designers, architects, surveyors or engineers are also introduced as landscape architects. This is highly erroneous, if truth be told.

What’s more, landscape architecture was not usually recognized in developed nations as a distinct profession until the early twentieth century. However this is a different era and changes are taking place gradually. But in spite of the huge efforts of landscape architects, it is still not strange for a building architect to be commissioned to provide landscape architectural services.

There is another connotation. The term landscape architect has different meaning depending on location. There are, in point of fact, some US states that offer "practice acts" and some offer "title acts". Each refers to the limitations placed on persons who are and are not licensed.

How much does a landscape architect earn? The profession is having greater appreciation nowadays than ever before and there are lots of prospects as well. A landscape architect earns between $50000 and 70000 annually and this may rise in due course.
