Landscape design is in general regarded as a division of a broader
field known as landscape architecture. Landscape design also usually
focuses on smaller projects, as opposed to landscape planning which
typically involves bigger projects or the widest perspective of
large-scale landscaping projects that take place over a long period of
time.
The way that landscape design is
distinguished from landscape architecture is simply that landscape design
refers to an actual set of design plans for a particular area where
landscaping will be performed.In addition, projects of landscape design
are frequently individual contract jobs which form a larger landscape
plan.
Another term used quite often is garden design, which is not
exactly the same as landscape design. For the most part, garden design
refers to landscape work done on private homes or properties, while
landscape design itself usually applies to landscape projects performed
for corporate clients or the public.
