Along with this becoming more complex and demanding, also has the landscaping and external environment. Landscape architects have an effect on this by having to agree to all the parts of legislative constraints and carry public liability insurance. This ensures no problems arise for third parties.

First of all, I honestly did not know anything about the landscape architect. Since 6 years ago, a lot of knowledge that I have learned to become a landscape architect. Honestly, I do not interested with my school study as a civil engineering student so I decided to take this opportunity to try something new.

Carol Johnson, born September 6th 1929, is one of the leading ladies in the field of landscape architecture. She was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey and spent most of her childhood outside hiking and camping. The love for the outdoors was inspired by her parents; a lawyer and a school principal.
