Editing Landscape design (section)

==Design scope==
Landscape design focuses on both the integrated master [[landscape planning]] of a property and the specific [[garden design]] of landscape elements and plants within it. The practical, [[Design|aesthetic]], [[Horticulture|horticultural]], and environmental [[sustainability]] are also components of landscape design, which is often divided into [[hardscape]] design and [[softscape]] design. Landscape designers often collaborate with related disciplines such as [[architecture]], [[civil engineering]], [[surveying]], [[Landscaping|landscape contracting]], and artisan specialties.

Design projects may involve two different professional roles: landscape design and landscape architecture.
* Landscape design typically involves artistic composition and artisanship, horticultural finesse and expertise, and emphasis on detailed site involvement from conceptual stages through to final construction.
* Landscape architecture focuses more on urban planning, city and regional parks, civic and corporate landscapes, large scale interdisciplinary projects, and delegation to contractors after completing designs. 
There can be a significant overlap of talent and skill between the two roles, depending on the education, licensing, and experience of the professional. Both landscape designers and landscape architects practice landscape design.<ref name="ASLA Q&A">{{Cite web|url=https://www.asla.org/nonmembers/publicrelations/qanda.htm|title=Question & Answer|publisher=ASLA|access-date=2016-05-17}}</ref>
