Landscape architecture vs garden design. I should add that garden design is part of landscape architecture but a great deal of the training has to do with other land planning issues such as siting buildings roads parking grading drainage environmental issues planning and zoning issues pedestrian circulation campus planning and many other issues that go beyond garden design. Personally i see garden design as much closer to a fine art than landscape architecture. Landscape and garden designers the primary distinction between landscape architects and landscape designers is that designers usually work on smaller residential projects.

Designed by landscape architect louis benech the edenic project surrounds a traditional wooden chalet architecture design marie antoinette s private garden at versailles is being restored. A garden tour to compare. As a garden designer myself i believe that the artistic approach to design and planting is definitely there while landscape architects are technically more versatile with regarding management and planning having in general bigger projects in a commercial setting as well.
