Landscape Architecture is a design discipline that has been gaining significant attention in recent years. More than just flowers and trees, landscape architecture is the design and planning of outdoor living spaces – a diversified design profession with consideration of environmental, mathematical, physical, and social principles. A Professional Landscape Architect (PLA) is required to undergo specific education, testing and continuing education requirements to earn and maintain a professional license in each state. PLAs may be disciplined to design everything from small gardens to swimming pools to large scale regional spaces including parks, campuses and urban development.
Working with a Professional Landscape Architect to design your swimming pool is an enormous asset not only in terms of the quality of design but also in execution; landscape architecture is the voice that communicates your vision to installation contractors and specialized professions ensuring that the final project meets aesthetic, environmental, legal and financial expectations.
