Typical employers include:
In the public sector, landscape architects tend to work for environmental agencies, local authorities and government agencies. There are also opportunities with voluntary organisations.
In the private sector, landscape architects are largely employed by architect and landscape architect companies or by companies specialising in landscape engineering. More than half of all landscape architects work in private practices, which tend to be small: most have fewer than ten professional staff.
Landscape architecture is a relatively small profession, but is growing fast. There are around 3,000 qualified landscape architects in The Landscape Institute (LI) . Whether in a greenbelt or brownbelt area, in the countryside or the city, landscape issues today are taken into account whenever any regeneration or development is being considered. With the large amounts of money currently being invested in the landscape, it is a highly charged area to work in and offers many, and increasing, opportunities.
